Michael T. Weiss
stars as Jarod Russell in this popular TV drama from the
late 1990s. Discovered to be a genius as a small child,
Jarod was kidnapped and brought up, along with many other
children like him, at the enigmatic facility known only as
"The Centre." There, they were trained to use
their capacities for brilliance to adopt personas and jobs
as fit their purposes. The children could assume the
identities of doctors, lawyers, police officers, or pilots,
virtually adopting any occupation at will and with
chameleon-like ease. Eventually, however, Jarod discovered
the fact that his simulations were not necessarily being
used for good, but were being sold to the highest bidder;
disturbed, he made his escape. A grown man now, he searches
for his parents while using his talents to right the wrongs
that he encounters along the way. He also works hard to
elude those from The Centre who pursue him doggedly. These
include Sydney (Patrick Bauchau, SECRETARY), Jarod's mentor,
who knows him so well he can anticipate his course of
thought and action, as well as Miss Parker (Andrea Parker),
Jarod's childhood friend. |
