Whether or not Farscape stars Ben Browder and Claudia Black reprise their roles on the upcoming Scifi.com webisodes, the actors have plenty of other projects to keep them busy.

Browder is writing and starring in Going Homer, Sci Fi Channel's just-announced six-hour miniseries. He'll play the father of a 12-year-old boy who sees Greek and Roman gods walking among us. The actor/writer and his writing partner, Farscape's Andrew Prowse, have also sold a movie script, Black Mountain, to MGM. In the flick, Browder will get his action hero on, playing a investigator trying to solve horrific murders in a small town. We hear shooting could start this fall.

As for Black, she had to bow out of a role on the new NBC cop drama Life, in which she would have played star Damian Lewis' former wife, because of a scheduling conflict. The Australian actress is due to give birth to her second baby in November. Life producer Rand Ravich says he hopes to find a role for her in the show later in the season. If Life has a long one, that is. - Reporting by Ileane Rudolph
