With its playful new series Eureka, set in the Pacific Northwest and telling the story of an outsider who comes to explore, and settle in, a remote town full of eccentrics, Sci-Fi Channel isn't just inviting comparisons to Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure. It's demanding them.
A U.S. Marshal becomes the sheriff of Eureka, a remote, cozy little Northwestern town where the best minds in the US have secretly been tucked away to build futuristic inventions for the government which often go disastrously wrong.

With too many nerds gathered in one place, it was usually up to an average-IQ guy like Sheriff Carter (Colin Ferguson) to tackle the obvious dangers that the rest of Eureka’s eggheads often concocted — and often without a moment’s misgiving. Though Eurekaremains among Ferguson’s longest-running roles, his familiar chiseled looks and everyman appear...
If sheriff Jack Carter landed in Eureka as the new adult in town, his daughter Zoe, played by Jordan Danger (aka Jordan Hinson), was the rowdy part of the package as the audaciously smart (and innocently troublesome) new kid on the nerdy block. In addition to her fun 2011 turn in A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas while Eureka was still on the air,...
Erica Cerra’s no-nonsense, gun-loving deputy Josie “Jo” Lupo gave the town of Eureka some much-needed pragmatism amid all the series’ out-of-hand science screw-ups and offbeat personalities. Cerra played the comedic-foil part with an admirably straight face; one that’s since remained familiar in both movies and on TV, with a main role in The CW’s T...
A prolific actor from the 1990s onward, Salli Richardson-Whitfield already had a sizable screen résumé before her stint on Eureka (as U.S. Department of Defense Agent Dr. Allison Blake), including memorable movie turns in Posse, A Low Down Dirty Shame, Antwone Fisher, I Am Legend, and the hilarious Black Dynamite (as well as a main voice role in Di...
A low-key genius reluctant to get on board with Eureka tech outfit Global Dynamics’ ethically dubious science experiments, Dr. Henry Deacon (Joe Morton) stayed mostly contented with cleaning up the town’s inevitable messes as the go-to local mechanic. Morton himself already was an accomplished screen and Broadway actor before signing on for Eureka’...
Wherever Eureka’s Dr. Henry Deacon went, his equally brainy wife Dr. Grace Monroe (Tembi Locke) was sure to be somewhere close by — sometimes showing up just in the nick of time. Locke might’ve been one half of the sci-fi series’ high-IQ duo, but she’s long been a familiar face on TV with 1990s roles on Beverly Hills, 90210 and Sliders, as well as ...
Showing up in Season 2 as a wild-card prankster with a bit of a shady criminal past, Zane Donovan served as occasional comic relief who could exacerbate (or even occasionally dial down the tension) amid Eureka’s always-escalated threat level. Zane actor Niall Matter already looked familiar to sci-fi fans for his recurring late-series role as Lt. Ke...
Nebbish, nerdy, and just plain tough for his learned peers to take super-seriously, Dr. Douglas Fargo (Neil Grayston) could hardly catch a break as Eureka’s resident junior scientist screw-up. In addition to his early stint on beloved Canadian teen TV series Edgemont, Grayston had some pretty cool appearances as a guest actor in a string of pre-Eur...
Jammed with borderline basket cases, Eureka’s the kind of show we like to think had a prominent place for a town psychiatrist built in right from the start. Debrah Farentino played that role as Dr. Beverly Barlowe, a deceptively innocuous therapist with a sneaky streak who schemed up some downright devious betrayals while using her professional gig...
Modeled after Marvel’s Tony Stark and beset with some of the same stubborn, my-way or-the-highway idealism, Dr. Nathan Stark (Ed Quinn) was one of Eureka’s most principled good guys, even if it meant butting heads with Sheriff Jack and the rest of his colleagues along the way. Quinn has been easy to spot in the years since Eureka signed off, with t...
