Young Blades/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fake Brit: Oliver Cromwell and Charles II. Given the show's already epic confusion where accents are concerned, these examples are only noteworthy in that both actors do actually attempt to sound British (attempt being the operative word here).
  • Hey, It's That Guy! / Retroactive Recognition: Queen Anne is former 1980's pop sensation Sheena Easton, Captain Duval is Captain Sheridan from Babylon 5, and Jacqueline is Lexa from Mutant X.
    • Also, if the online comments are anything to go by, Siroc is typically recognized as the voice of Heero Yuy from Gundam Wing; and by far the most common reaction to King Louis is "Holy Crap! Is that Nathan from Misfits under that wig?!"
    • If you're into other obscure shows, the highwayman from "Four Musketeers and a Baby" is Cade Foster from First Wave.
    • Walter from Stargate SG-1 has a brief role as a jeweler in "The Girl From Upper Gaborski."
    • The D'Artagnan starred in The Nanny.
  • What Might Have Been: Michael Boisvert, who plays Charles, originally auditioned for the role of D'Artagnan.
  • Karen Cliche has stated that playing Jacqueline was her hardest role because she had to learn to swordfight and act like a man.
