The
Canadian Fashion Magazine "Flare"
lists Sebastian Spence as one of the seven hottest Canadian exports
to Hollywood:
Sebastian
Spence, St. John's, Newfoundland, 31,
Spawned
from playwright parents, acting is in his genes. Stars as brooding
hero and alien chaser Cade Foster in the sci-fi hit "First
Wave". Claims to have a close encounter with a ghost and once
chased a possible UFO down a country road. Still smart as a whip,
devastatingly cute and seems completely unaware of his own charm.

"First Wave":

THE
END
Hey
everyone,
Sorry
I've been off the board for awhile. I just received news from Larry
Sugar that Pearson has failed to continue the series. It looks like
we are dead. The time it took "the powers that be" to reach
this decision is a testament to the dedicated fans of FW. Through
your efforts, a megabillion dollar company was made aware that its
shows actually provide enjoyment for real human beings. And still the
numbers just didn't add up. I've had a wonderful three years, a large
part of that enjoyment derived from reading this board and reading
your comments. You are the best fans in science fiction. I am now
onto a new show, created with Bert Salke, for the F/X Channel. It is
called "Dope." It's non-scifi, but I hope you'll watch.
Chris
