Greed is good. Nobody knows that better than The Sentinel's Garett Maggart. "What cinched it for me," he laughs, recalling his audition for the role of anthropology grad student Blair Sandburg on the UPN show "was that Malcolm-Jamal Warner was up for it, and he wanted too much money." A relative newcomer with fewer television credits, Maggart happily stepped into the role.

The son of veteran character actor Brandon Maggart, Garett decided on his career early in life, but didn't pursue it until he was out of school. "I always knew that this is what I wanted to do," he says, "and I didn't want to be a child actor. I hadn't seen very many of them make the change to adult careers." Coincidentally, Garett had always had a casual interest in anthropology. "And since I started playing Blair, I've been doing a lot more reading in that area," he says, "just so I don't sound so green when I'm saying some of the terminology that they write for me." Still, he admits, he's got it easy compared to cast members on some other shows. "I watch Star Trek: Voyager sometimes," he says, "and I say to myself, 'Thank God I don't have to talk about voltrons and micturators, or whatever those things are.' I'd never get through it."
