David James Elliott returns to TV
Since the JAG series finale, many fans have been waiting for David James Elliott to return to TV. The actor eventually did when he landed the role of James Conlon in the CBS series Close to Home. His stay on the show was cut short when the series was canceled at the end of its second season (DJE appeared in 22 episodes of the series). Since then, the actor vanished from the small screen and fans have been patiently waiting (and watching reruns of JAG) for his return. But fans can now rejoice as Elliott returns to TV this week. The catch? It airs on a Canadian network!This is of course not a problem for myself and TV Squad's Canadian readers. David James Elliott will appear in Global TV's The Guard, a one-hour drama about Coast Guard rescue specialists working out on the Pacific Ocean. Elliott will play David Nelson, a recurring character on the series.
The Guard debuts tonight (January 22) at 10 pm ET/PT on Global TV and also stars Andromeda's Steve Bacic. It is unknown if a U.S. network will buy the rights to air the series at a later time.
