The "Maya" Before "Maya" in LOST GALAXY

[weber_dubois22]

Prior to casting Cerina Vincent as Maya, Erin Simms had originally been chosen for the role of the "wild woman from Mirinoi". I was browsing around RangerBoard's search engine when I came across the name via the interview that's been posted on RangerCrew (and the aforementioned board as well). I'd been aware of the news, but I never knew of her name until yesterday. I Googled her so I could add a bit of trivia to the Maya wikia article and came across this fantastic Production Still on her IMBD.com profile, from what would be the scene for "Quasar Quest". (At the very least, I believe that's her. IMDB.com is known to make mistakes with their galleries.) This is probably common knowledge, but I didn't see it posted here and I figure I'd share it.

Thank you for posting this! :)

I'd heard that someone else had been cast as Maya first, but I had no idea they began filming with her or that the original actress was Erin Simms(!). I find this fascinating!

Belated "You're welcome!" I kinda wish Saban was a little more lenient on releasing the "what ifs" materials of this series, it's all very fascinating (and unpretty at times) the more you dig into it.
