Articles WATNOW: MD: Escape to LA cast?



"Because we are everywhere. We are always. We are no one. And soon the families will rise." The Cousin

This month sees the Torchwood/CIA team heading out to L.A. They're still in hiding and what better place than right by the beach!!! Esther's family ties put Jack and Gwen in danger and puts her at odds with Rex.

Oswald has competition on the campaign trail and finds that the only way to beat them is to raise the stakes.

Gwen's American accent is brought into question after a meeting with Nicholas Frumkin and family in the park.

And an Assassin is about to impart the name of those who want Jack dead until Rex silences him forever.



C. Thomas Howell


'The Gentleman'

"You're very special to them, Jack. They trust me enough to tell me that. But I hear rumours of miracles yet to come, of a new society being forged here on Earth, and I'd like to guarantee my place. So, tell me, what did you give them so long ago?"


If you were a kid growing up in the 80s, you'll remember The Outsiders and Howell's performance as Pony Boy Curtis. If you don't, how about E.T. as Tyler, or Hitcher as Jim - now that was edge of seat stuff. I have to admit, that I didn't fully recognise Howell in TW, until I saw the credits and was somewhat shocked at just how much he had changed over the years but having read about his life around 2000 - 2005, when he lost 45 pounds after rupturing his appendix, and then his strict protein and carb diet which helped him gain 12lb of muscle, it certainly explained the dramatic weight loss and gaunt features.  

Howell played The Gentleman, an assassin hired by Phicorp and The Families to eliminate Torchwood, and more especially, Captain Jack Harkness, but before he had the chance to reveal who had hired him, Rex Matheson shot him several times, in the throat. Oops!

Since Torchwood, Howell has played Jack's Father in The Amazing Spider-Man in 2012, Ray Stewart in Longmire in same year with Eli Aquino in Alphas, a Bounty Hunter in Revolution and John Campbell in Castle in 2012 also, including Martin Cordova in Hawaii Five-0.

Mare Winningham


'Ellis Hartley Monroe'

" I think someone's got to say it. Dead is Dead. We are surrounded by people who should have died. I'm sorry for them, yes, but these people fill me with terror. Am I the only one brave enough to say it? They should have perished. I'm sorry, but they should. And by persisting, they are draining the resources of healthy living citizens. Now I'm nobody special, but I'm a mother and a voter and an American, and I'd like to think that that means something. This is what I want."

Ellis Hartley Monroe was on the campaign trail, promoting the 'Dead is Dead' slogan. She was determined to undermine Phicorp and had the backing of the public, until Oswald Danes crossed the barrier and walked into the infected hospital. After that, Phicorp dealt with Monroe, packing her forever inside a crushed and cubed car.

If you're a lover of 80s films then you'll remember how great they were, if not for all the big hair and shoulder pads. 80s classics led us to Tom Hanks and C Thomas Howell, to Rob Lowe and to Mare Winningham. Hands up to those of you who watched Turner and Hooch and vowed never to own a slobbery dog!!!

I sat through the first episode of seeing Winningham and wondered where I'd seen her face before. The name didn't register at all. I googled and I found her and smiled. It's times like this that I love it when a big 80s name comes into our little home-grown sci fi series.

Since Torchwood, Winningham has played Baker Margaret in Mirror Mirror and three episodes of Hatfields & McCoys as Sally McCoy in 2012. Played Terry Beckett in Hawaii Five-0 in 2013 along with Mary in Philomena and Agatha Seagrave in Under the Dome.

Kelvin Yu


'Nicolas Frumkin'

"I swear to you, there's a code that you can use to."

Torchwood's methods of extracting the correct biometrics for accessing Frumkin's secure site were safer and nobody lost an eye, or a hand.... unfortunately, The Gentleman had no other option. Well, he did, but this way was quicker.
