Um, Charles, the network exec, Aleister, was played by Curtis Eastwood. Mickey, played by Mr. Christensen, was Annique's (Jennifer Pratt) side-kick and tech guru.
I went and saw Sleep Dealer on the Stranger's recommendation and was not that impressed. The concept was excellent, yes, but the story was kind of contrived, the acting unremarkable and execution noticeably lacking.
So, yeah, taking this with a grain of salt.
