I only made this fill in the blank because I gave away the answer.

Keys appeared briefly in the opening of the film, as he also did in the book. He was one of the men searching out E.T. and his crew. This team caused E.T. to miss the take off of his space ship. Keys later appeared with Elliot, explaining that he'd dreamed of meeting E.T. since he was ten years old.
Peter Coyote was born in New York in 1942 as Peter Cohon.

Robert Peter Cohon created the stage name of Coyote when he decided to become an actor in his thirties. He married Marilyn McCann in the late 1970s, and they had two children together before divorcing in the late 1990s. He later married Stephanie Pleet, the one time Executive Director of the San Francisco Film Commission.

Answer: Lost

"Destination Lost" aired in September of 2005, with Peter doing a compelling recap of season one. In addition to "Lost", Peter has narrated many shows. Some places his voice can be heard are on "Nature", "Voices of the Sierra Tarahumara", "Sex in the 20th Century", " Titanic: Breaking New Ground", and "National Geographic Explorer".

Answer: The Diggers

This time in his life was in the late sixties through the seventies, and was considered a hippie like, counter-cultural experience. The Diggers, known as an anarchist movement, can be described as bohemian meets civil rights. This radical group have been known to have coined the phrases "today is the first day of the rest of your life" and "do your own thing".

Answer: The 4400

"The 4400" debuted in July of 2004 with six episodes that centered around the disappearance of our main characters for season one and their return, along with thousands of others to Highland Beach, Washington. Peter played Dennis Ryland, the very ambitious foil for Tom and Diana (this series' Mulder and Scully). Dennis went from ambitious and concerned to extremely dangerous to all 4400 returnees.

He played a part in developing the inhibitor given to almost all returnees that dampened or ceased their special abilities- eventually causing the death of some.

In season three, Dennis joined forces with the only child conceived between two abductees while they were gone. Isabelle was the most powerful of all returnees, though she was not actually taken.

She had been conceived in the future and was the daughter of Lily and Richard.

Answer: he was her professor

Mark August was the charming writing professor that Nora first met in season one's "All in the Family". Mark was smart, charming, her own age, and a widower. He flattered Nora from the word "go", and she agreed to date him. He turned out to be less 'warm hearted widower' and more 'say whatever it takes' older man.

She gave him a second chance after she discovered he had dated a young classmate, and then dumped her abruptly to date Nora. She finally called it quits in "Grapes of Wrath", when she found out that he'd spent time kissing her nemesis Holly. Holly, played by Patricia Wettig, had spent twenty years having an affair with Nora's husband, William, who'd died in the series pilot.

Answer: Buddhist

I knew he was a Zen Buddhist, but discovered this neat little tidbit off of the news section on his website. As of 2007, Peter's practiced Buddhism for 32 years, though he comes from a Jewish background. He was ordained by Lew Richmond, and named Hosho Jishi. Hosho Jishi translates to "dharma voice- compassionate warrior".

Answer: 1940s

Peter graduated from Grinnell College in 1964. He earned a BA in English Literature.

Answer: she'd once been abducted by a killer

When Rebecca was ten years old, she had been abducted and held captive for many months before escaping. The person who took her was a serial child murderer, who I believe had never been caught. Peter's character, Agent Webster, had hand picked her to join the team, which put off its existing members. Web knew that Rebecca had a special, keen understanding into the mind of a psychotic criminal, but he kept that information to himself. I believe only six episodes ever aired, with much potential left to be explored. In 2005, CBS offered us another take on this form of law enforcement with the beautiful ensemble that was "Criminal Minds". "Criminal Minds" had more jurisdiction, with the unit being the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) out of Quantico.
