The RJS fans' guide to watching the debut of FlashForward

FlashForward, the ABC TV series based on my novel of the same name, debuts (as I write this) in three days -- on Thursday, September 24, 2009, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific and 7:00 p.m. Central. In the United States, it's on ABC and in Canada it's on CTV's /A\ Channels.

Things to watch for:

MY CAMEO:

I have a small, non-speaking cameo in the first episode about halfway through (blink and you'll miss me!).

Sonya Walger plays Dr. Olivia Benford, a surgeon; there's a scene in which she's walking down a long hospital corridor while talking on her cell phone to her husband, FBI agent Mark Benford, played by Joseph Fiennes.

Behind her, in the same blue shirt I'm wearing in the photo above, talking on his own cell phone is ... me! My thanks to director David S. Goyer (on the right in the above photo) for cheerfully including this little bit of business for me; it was fun!
