Subject: Looks like Mutant X actors appreciate our viewership (article inside)

Well I'm just delurking for a sec to bring y'all this little tidbit from sci-fi.com. Enjoy!


Victoria Pratt told SCI FI Wire that she's both "pleased and surprised" that Mutant X is a breakout hit. "We'd been plugging away for 13 episodes and then they finally came on the air," Pratt said. "It was like, 'Wow! People can finally watch it now,' and they are watching it, which is great."

Mutant X debuted in October and quickly emerged as the top-rated dramatic hour in first-run syndication. Based on an idea from Marvel Comics boss Avi Arad, the show centers on Mutant X, an organization that seeks to protect a group of genetically engineered humans from themselves and the government. John Shea stars as Adam, the wealthy scientist who heads up Mutant X, while Pratt plays Shalimar Fox, a mutant with feral abilities who serves as Adam's closest ally.

Pratt — whose credits include the role of Sarge on Cleopatra 2525 and guest stints on Xena: Warrior Princess and First Wave — thinks she can explain Mutant X's success.

"A lot of fans came to us because Xena and Cleo are no longer on the air," she said. "We also have a lot of fans that came to us from La Femme Nikita, because the same production company that did that is doing Mutant X. I also think we got a lot of comic book fans who are watching our show because of the comic book connection. That's a lot of people, and I think everybody's getting something different out of it."
