Maybe you can have a GREAT show
with just the lead characters, but to have a REALLY GREAT show, you need some
incredible secondary characters. FOREVER
has four.
MACKENZIE MAUZY plays Abigail
Morgan, the love of Henry’s life since their meeting somewhere in Europe
following the end of World War II. She accepts his immortality without a blink
until she begins to age and he does not.
How unfair is that, ladies? But
love is eternal and no respecter of age. A love story like this one is why I write Romance.
Lucas Wahl is Henry’s #2 at the Office of the Medical Examiner and
his role is filled superbly by JOEL DAVID MOORE. I first saw Joel
in an episode of Hawaii Five-O where he played the second in command of the
Tsunami Tracking Center. Same role, different city. He is fun to watch, and
somehow manages to overcome his many mistakes and help Henry join the world of
the living.
DONNIE KESHAWARZ is Detective Mike Hanson. Mike partners
with Jo Martinez and is always a step or two behind Henry in the crime solving
department. However, Det. Hanson has a surprise of his own — he was once the
lead singer of the Craniacs — and YES, the Detective/Donnie can really sing.
Last, but definitely NOT least,
is the boss. LORRAINE TOUSSAINT is Lieutenant Joanna Reece,
a woman in tough profession, who shows exactly how capable she is at running
New York’s 11th Precinct. She’s a no nonsense professional, and I
thought the straight face she kept when talking to Henry about his occasional
naked swims in the East River was priceless!
So, here they are — the incredible cast of FOREVER, the best
darned television show ABC has ever foolishly dumped. What say you, Forever Fans? Agree or Disagree?
As always, I remain -
