FlashForward’s leading man apparently has friends in very high places. In an interview with
TV Guide Magazine today, show creator David S. Goyer revealed that President Obama, in Goyer’s words, “considers
Joseph Fiennes his favorite actor.” Goyer explains, “A friend of our director of photography, Nelson Cragg, is a White House staffer and told us that
FlashForward and Joseph Fiennes’s name came up at a White House staff meeting recently. Obama loves him. He thinks he’s cool.”
