1985: MICHAEL IRONSIDE DISCUSSES V: THE SERIES IN STARLOG MAGAZINE

From January 1985 (but on-sale in late '84): Genre legend Michael Ironside talks to STARLOG MAGAZINE about his stint on V: THE FINAL BATTLE and V: THE SERIES.

The interview clearly took place during the early days of the weekly series and it is interesting that he notes the problems of balancing a sprawling cast with an action-adventure format.  The producers addressed this issue mid-season... by chopping half the cast.... including Ironside.

I doubt that the mid-season purge was welcomed by everyone who got the chop (and some of the choices were - ahem - odd) but I think Ironside was happy to move on... to the movie TOP GUN.
