Actor of Matthew Sykes

Gary Graham played Sykes, not James Caan. Who did Caan actually play? Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) (talk) 14:54, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, Graham played Matthew Sikes in the later Alien Nation TV series. This page is for the earlier film, in which Caan most certainly did play Matthew Sykes. Nick Cooper (talk) 15:12, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One, I didn't realize that Caan played the character in the film.

Two, I didn't realize that the name is spelled differently.

Is this the same character as in the TV series? Morriswa (Charlotte Allison) (talk) 23:33, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
