Tahmoh Quotes and Darius

Trying something a bit new. Reader Jena Marie is looking for good Tahmoh quotes, preferably something "inspirational and heroic. Anything that sounds cool," she says. We thought we'd ask you, his fans! Quotes can be from Tahmoh or any of his characters. Put your quotes in the comments below so everyone can enjoy!

And did you know that "Darius" Tahmoh's character in Need For Speed: Carbon is his most popular character in Brazil? Reader Renata says that when it was announced that Globo TV in Brazil had purchased Dollhouse, the chat boards were buzzing with the news that "Darius" played "Paul Ballard." She also shared a story about watching a Battlestar Galactica episode on her computer while at the technology expo Campus Party Brasil and turning around to find a group of people watching over her shoulder. After some people commented on how good it was, one watcher said, "Take a look at Captain Helo; it´s the Darius from Carbon." Renata also sent a few screen caps, which I'll post back here in the next few days. Finally, Renata gave this little tip: many of the videos of Darius at You Tube are from Brazilian posters:

  1. You gotta love South America! They often pick up on more obscure stuff and totally go with it! Lots of my favourite metal bands are obscure Finnish and European bands that no one in Canada knows about at all, yet in South America they go crazy for them. It's funny, but it's great!

    As for my favourite quote, I left a comment on Facebook with one from Cold Squad. I'm sure there are many others, but that's the one that's freshest in my mind right now. It still makes me snicker because I couldn't stand Sam Walters!

  2. The quote preferred by brazilian fans is from Need for Speed Carbon (taken from the scene on restaurant):
    "Nor all races you win on the track"

  4. The episode that happened to Renata on Campus Party Brasil was really funny. There´re a lot of guys and girls around her on the expocenter and we had no idea about what was happening until we got a bit close so we saw that they´re watching Battlestar Galactica on her pc. Also, a chick with a high-performance computer like that watching alone a cool sy-fy serie, it´s almost a sin :)
    The people there liked very much Battlestar Galactica because the serie is one of those cult things that´s a friend likes and recomends to other and suddenly becomes viral.
