SciFi Could Prep 'Tin Man' For Series

"Tin Man" premieres Dec. 2, which provides a fresh look at Frank Baum's magical world of Oz (or "The O.Z." as its called now). While it's a miniseries that has been hyped seriously as a movie event by the network, actor Neal McDonough says there may be more "Tin Man" coming down the line.

During Tuesday's premiere in Hollywood, McDonough -- who plays the title role -- hinted to TV Guide that a possibility exists "Tin Man" could be picked up as a series by SciFi Channel. If that were to happen, McDonough -- who played a small role in "Star Trek: First Contact" in 1998 -- said he would be sign on "in a heartbeat." Except there would be one caveat: It would have to shoot in Los Angeles, instead of Vancouver, B.C. where the current miniseries was shot.

"Every decision I make now is 100 percent about my family, for [Tin Man] Wyatt Cain, it was the same thing, and he had it taken away from him," McDonough said.

It's doubtful that "Tin Man" will become a perennial classic like "The Wizard of Oz" did, but McDonough says his measure of success is much more close to home.

"The most important thing for me is that I know my son and my daughter are going to look at this and say, "Dad, that was really cool stuff," McDonough said. "If generations of people watch it, that's icing on the cake."
