For those who are interested, the gentleman playing the Martian was an English actor called Terence Longdon

@scottwebb I am interested and thanks scottwebb for the info. =)

[fallbread]

[CatSojourn]

@fallbread I loved the book as well. This mini series was decent as well. I loved the music soundtrack. It took me some time to get it. =)

A classic performance by Classix Nouveaux singer Sal Solo as the martian.

6:15 in -- Maintain human population at 500,000,000. Leave room for Nature. Leave room for Nature. See the Georgia Guidestones

In the book this colonel guy is tomas. Not what I pictured for martians.

@sibeliandrift : There is and it's been on Planet Earth in various forms since the beginning of Humanity. It's called Paganism. ;)

I wish this fictional Martian's philosophy could be a real religion. I'd join.

This is what I miss about movies from the 70's and 80's. Mini-series like Martian Chronicles gives a good message about life and how to live in peace. The special effects, obviously from the time wasn't as high tech as movies are now... but, unlike current movies, it gives a good message for the soul. Will watch my DVDs until they stop working!!

[spadehatesscrewtube]

[Kreneep1052]

love this movie

[starkidkaty]

i dont think its spender isnt it that tomas guy who has the conversation with the martian about where each of them are from if they are frum the future or the past

[lucullusxerxes]

@mymyharlow maybe Star Trek when he played a character like Jeffrey Spender,or from The Man Who Fell to Earth as a guy who reminds oneself of Jeffrey Spender, or Cleopatra Jones, when he played

a Black Panther as Jeffrey Spender.

...that or Revenge of the Nerds.

[flexbrat]

good message for all ! forget religion for a minute and listen !

[icarus7z7]

[KaiserJames]

@batako35

I have the TV series on DVD. I shopped for it on e-bay. I would say e-bay is your best bet on getting The Martian Chronicles. Best of luck my friend.
