Third Planet After The Sun

Unloaded on Earth with for mission of observing the behavior of human, four extraterrestrial (which does not have the least extraordinary capacity) settles in Rutherford a small city of Ohio and takes the Land appearance and the identity ordinary ones. Camouflaged in family and they try to form one with the traditional direction of them, with parents and children. But, not knowing the customs and habits of the Earth, each one saw its life, social and in love, as a mission of observation to which all end up taking taste. .

This sitcom comic share of a principle very much used in the televised production: to place a foreigner in a universe that it is completely unknown for him and to supervise the reactions of the two with dimensions ones. On this comic screen, the authors could various in the facility but it of it is nothing. 3rd Planet ... is one of the best comic series of the Nineties. It must initially much to the family of extraterrestrial.

The actors are extremely varied and exploit each one a style of humour. One suffers from adolescence with an amusing shift, the other is asocial sarcastic, beautiful the alien makes fun of the place of the woman in the company and the last is a foreigner who aspires to appear normal, to know the joys of the land life.

That gives us a cocktail of individuals and humours very different which forms a burlesque alchemy seldom reached these last years. Because the actors and the authors are not afraid to make some too much. The actors exploit all the registers, make tons of them and add some as soon as they can it: after all, what could be more normal on behalf of a band the extraterrestrial ones which unloads on the least significant planet (it is them which say it) universe and which does not know anything of our manners.

Dick

Head of mission, Dick represents the paternal figure of the group. Making profitable his extraterrestrial knowledge, he becomes professor of physics at the university. Man of about fifty years, his naivety and his lack of knowledge on the human ones make of him a man perceived like mild nutter and slightly disturbed, but also disturbing. He is hopelessly in love with his colleague, Mary Albright.

Sally

Second in command of the mission, Sally is a beautiful energetic, semi-sparkling and especially very virile woman! Liking the very physical action and things, she disconcerts all the men, whereas she is interested much in them.

Harry

The folded glance, the burlesque step and of the often extravagant fusses, Harry is an adult mild nutter, who has great difficulty to be accustomed to land manners. He is precisely that which makes any sound charms.

Tommy

Young teenager, Tommy is however an extraterrestrial adult. But his age on Earth will fade on his personality and this officer of the information will know all the difficulties and disillusions which a young American teenager can encounter.

Mary Albright

Colleague of office of Dick, Mary seems to have a severity without fault but in contact with Dick, she will reveal a gentle personality and melancholic person. They will live a particularly surging passion together.

Nina Campbell

Secretary of professor Solomon, Nina, disconcerted by her owner, plays the chart of relaxation. Avoiding the conflicts, she helps him as she can render comprehensible to him the good conduits to be held in company. Without her, Dick is completely lost!

Don

Any round and very likely, Don is a police officer who dreams of sculptural Sally. Simple cop, he plays the inspectors of shock and dramatizes all his interventions as soon as he is in company of Sally.

John Lithgow (Dick Solomon)

Wire of a director and an actress, John Lithgow was predestined to become the large actor who he is. After a passage in Harvard, he is exiled in England for prestigious " London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art ". It is during this stay that he embraces a very British look definitively. On his return, he haunts Broadway with astonishing compositions. He then meets Brian De Palma which becomes his large friend. Together they will make three films: Obsession , Blow Out and the Spirit of Caïn . His English perversity and his smoothness of play impose him on Hollywood where he turns of many films. He obtains two nominations with the Oscar for the World According to Garp and Tender Passions . With the theatre, it is the same thing: he is often nominated to Tony Awards. In the middle of the Eighties, following a divorce and a depression, he concentrates on his cinematographic career. He is very quickly labelled, in Hollywood like "malicious of service". His interpretation in Cliffhanger is worth to him in 1993 a sad nomination in Razzie Awards (for bad films). But the large John catches up with himself and is done more discrete. A little in loss speed, he accepts 3rd Planet ... and everyone seems to be astonished to have ignored an actor with the so original play. The rain of price (including 4 Emmy and 1 Golden delicious Earths) which falls to him on the head, tries to mask the coarse error.

Kristen Johnston (Sally Solomon)

Born in 1967 in Washington, Kristen Johnson did not see actress: she dreamed of adventures and voyages (she likes South America and Sweden). But with her so singular physique she is found quickly in the studios of Hollywood. Her size and her talent quickly make her take down a significant role. It will be for 3rd Planet After the Sun . Comic actress (2 Emmy are there to prove it), one finds her in the continuation of Austin Powers and the new adventures of Flintstones on large screen. Much regards her as the "Jim Carrey" with the female one.

French Stewart (Harry Solomon)

After studies in American Academy of Dramatic Arts, French Stewart spends several years in a theatre company, before taking down small roles in series ( Seinfeld , Larry Sanders Show ...) then with the cinema ( Leaving Las Vegas , Stargate ...). 3rd Planet ... offers his first consequent role to him but the actor continues to appear in small roles with the cinema and carries much interest to doubling.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tommy Solomon)

In spite of his youth (he was born in 1981), Joseph Gordon-Levitt has already a beautiful career behind him. At 6 years, he turns in his first (télé)film and he will not stop any more. He takes part in the last seasons of Roseanne , plays under the direction of Robert Redford ( In the Medium a River Runs ) and learns his trade in company of Demi Moore, Charles Grodin, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christophe Lambert, Patricia Arquette or Danny Glover. His role in the series enables him to be invested between turnings, in more difficult roles.

Jane Curtin (Dr. Mary Albright)

Actress of theatre, Jane Curtin especially made the beautiful days of Saturday Night Live between 1975 and 1980. Little presents at the cinema as with television, she prefers the contact with the public, in the rooms of theatre. In 1993, the actress makes her first meeting of the 3rd type by playing herself a alien in Coneheads . A good preamble to face the Solomon family.

Simbi Khali (Nina Campbell)

After having appeared in series "black" like Martin and Sinbad Show , the young person Sinbi Khali very quickly found herself in the role of the stoical secretary of Dick. When she does not turn, the young woman devotes herself to the writing: she has just sold her first scenario, Sanctuary .

Wayne Knight (Don)

Difficult not to notice this actor with the massive physique. Wayne Knight saw his career taking dash while becoming the damned heart of Doctor Hammond in Jurassic Park . He was besides the first actor chosen by Spielberg, after this last saw him in BASIC Instinct . Indeed he was likely to take part in the famous scene of interrogation where beautiful Sharon Stone uncrosses her legs. Since Wayne Knight is on all fronts: with television (perfidious Newman in Seinfeld ), with the cinema ( JFK , Space Jam etc.) and giving voice to animated characters ( Hercules , Tarzan , Toy Story 2 etc). Placid but effective!
