*"Little did Ben Browder know when he stepped into the Farscape casting session that he was actually taking his first step across the known universe! But I knew. John Crichton is a classic science fiction hero, like James Kirk or John Carter, but from an extremely contemporary vantage point. John is a stranger in a very strange land, and the actor playing him had to have the classic hero's looks and physical presence, but also intelligence, vulnerability and humor. Ben has all of these qualities, in spades. Ben Browder is John Crichton. He was from that very first casting session. *Source: Back of card
