Joe, I hate to stir up the pot so soon after the Jerry Doyle incident, 
but I just saw the most curious thing posted on The Abyss's message 
board.  I quote:

*******************************

 >>While at the convention this weekend in KC, Jason Carter (Marcus) was 
on stage and asked about the commentaries the cast has done.

He said he was in the studios recording the season 4 commentary (he 
didn't say who he was with; he did say where, but I don't remember what 
city it was). Doug Netter asked him to come into his office for a little 
chat.

Doug said Warner Bros. was astounded by the sales of the dvds, and had 
realized there really is a market out there for new B5 material. He then 
said Warner Bros. is going forward with a new B5 project and asked if 
Jason would be interested in reprising his role as Marcus. <<

*******************************

Of course the very first suspicious thing about this is...how could he 
reprise his role as Marcus?  The second thing, though, is more subtle: 
there's no indication at this point that Jason Carter is even on any of 
the commentary or extras for season 4.

I mean...this is a hoax, right?  Or, if not, is this something you can 
comment on?

Thanks,

Aisling

I spoke to Doug about this today, and he indicated to me that this conversation
never happened.  It's either a misstatement from Jason or an inaccurate fan
rumor.
