In character, though, Derek is incredibly compelling and sexy.
Hee! Yeah, I'm not really compelled to seek out any of Brian Austin Green's other work, even though I absolutely adore Derek Reese and what he brings to the show.
As for Jamie Bamber, I wonder if my reaction to him (and Lee, for me!) was partly because I had already seen and really liked him in the "Hornblower" tv series (that's actually why I started watching the re-imagined BSG, because I found out he was in it.) So maybe I was primed to like the actor and the character because of prior exposure, whereas with Derek/BAG, perhaps it's best we all forgot about "Beverly Hills 90210" (which, I must shamefacedly confess, I actually did watch in its 'glory' days!)
