| John
Corbett is more than just looking like Jesus in
this CBS TV series (1990-1996) Northern
Exposure, a laid-back chronicle of a backwater
town called Cicely, Alaska. Corbett plays an unforgettable character
named Christopher Stevens, the local radio DJ whose mind consists
of unspeakables such as Vincent van Gogh and poetry. |

| In
the few pix here Corbett's character is committing what would have
been dubbed 'happening art' where I come from; namely a wholesomely
inconsequential and insensible act of inviting people to watch a
localized vandalism of some sort. In this case, the demise of a
piano after being dropped from a certain height that ensures a mass
earache. |

rest of the cast includes Barry Corbin as Maurice
Minnifield, owner of the whole town; John Cullum
as Holling Vincoeur, barman; Cynthia Geary as Shelly
Tambo, Vincoer's much younger wife; Peg Phillips
as Ruth-Anne Miller, the grocer; Janine Turner
as Maggie O'Connell, the local pilot; and Rob Morrow
as the perpetually lost physician Joel Fleischman, around whose
chronic anxieties this series actually evolves. |
