Earth 2 character: John Danziger

John Danziger is ship's mechanic. He has 10 years old daughter and is a single parent. He raised her alone with help of friend and took her every where he went, so she learned a lot of mechanics. Danziger has sometimes second thoughts about comming on G889, but after this job all of his debts will be paid off, so his daughter True can be everything what she likes. From this point we can say he is very alike Devon, he would do anything for his child, True. He is also great leader, and being who he is, he most of time argues with Devon, and openly opposes and challenges her leadership. He is more realistic and pesimistic about everything, so he and Devon make a great couple. When Earth 2 will be continued they will sure get together.


Actor: Clancy Brown

Unlike his father, former U.S. Rep. (Ohio) Clarence J. Brown, Clancy Brown is one Mr. Brown who will not be going to Washington, but instead will be headed out of this world to another Earth-like planet in NBC's new adventure series EARTH 2.
"I'm extraordinarily proud of my dad," says Brown, whose father served in Congress for 16 years and ran for governor in 1982. "He's one of my heroes. Politics never interested me, especially these days, because of its exaggerated public nature. To run for office means coming up with millions of dollars to make a candidate into a TV star."
Brown was born in Urbana, OH (near Columbus), on a January 5, and raised in both Urbana and Washington DC. He received a track scholarship to Northwestern University, from which he graduated with a B.S.S. degree in speech. He appeared in local Chicago theater until he was cast as Viking, a nasty prison inmate in the 1982 feature film "Bad Boys," starring Sean Penn. A year later he moved to Los Angeles, where he appeared in such movies as "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai," "Extreme Prejudice," "The Bride," "Pet Sematary II," and "Highlander (as the evil Kurgan). He also stars as a prison guard captain in the feature "The Shawshank Redemption," based on a Stephen King novel.
Brown's TV credits include the NBC mini-series "Love, Lies and Murder" and "Bloodlines: Murder in the Family" as well as the movies "Johnny Ryan," "Desperate Rescue," "Last Light," and "Cast a Deadly Spell" (the latter two for cable). He also guest-starred on "China Beach" and the cable series "Tales From The Crypt." Among his extensive theater credits are "Antony and Cleopatra" (starring opposite Mercedes Ruehl) at the Actors Theatre in Louisville, KY, in 1992; "Miss Julie"; "Romeo and Juliet"; "The Merchant of Venice" and "Much Ado About Nothing" (the latter two in Chicago).
Although he is still learning about his EARTH 2 character -- a take-charge high-tech mechanic -- Brown senses a comfortable fit. "He's just a regular guy. The most important thing to him is his daughter, but he also feels the whole group of pioneers needs to be taken care of. If someone is needed to take the trash out, he won't mind doing it."
Brown describes himself as an avid reader who particularly enjoys the works of Frank Herbert and Allan Eckert. In addition, he also likes to collect animation art, shoot a few basketball hoops, follow the Cincinnati Reds baseball team, and "goof around the house" as a handyman. Brown lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Jeanne Johnson, a TV news producer.
