"Rise" co-star Tyler Labine was brilliant as conspiracy-minded 'big picture' blogger Dave Groves in the South Florida-set ABC-TV sci-fi drama "Invasion," from 2005-06.

A personal favorite, his clever riffs about pop culture and sociology were the best on TV since the heyday of the Gilmore Girls.
Also great on that show was longtime HBB favorite Kari Matchett as Dr. Mariel Underlay, where she played the sexy and brainy ex-wife of former CSI:Miami star Eddie Cibrian's Russell Varon, an Everglades Park ranger.
Her role as smart, clever and drop-dead-gorgeous Dr. Mariel Underlay from Homestead, made me a fan of "Invasion" from Pilot 'till its untimely cancellation. Though my public policy views on immigration run more towards FAIR's than the Miami Herald's editorial board, she was the only South Florida "alien" I'd ever be happy to roll the red carpet out for.
I loved this show and so did most of my friends!
Obviously, I wasn't the only one to take notice, witness her terrific work in a succession in great roles on 24, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and E.R.
More recently, Matchett has been playing a shrewd CIA administrator who is the wife of a fellow Langley administrator (Peter Gallagher) and the boss of a newbie CIA agent played by the amazing Piper Perabo, in USA Network's breakout-hit from last year, Covert Affairs, which starts up Season 2 on June 7th.
It's a terrific show and is actually fun to watch because of both the clever originality of the writing, the whole secrecy angle, and the amazing Piper Perabo, whom I've always, always, always liked, whether in good films or so-so ones.
And yes, I already know, no need to remind me via emails from Saskatchewan: Matchett's another of the many drop-dead gorgeous Canadian woman on American TV.
