Here's Everything You Recognize Virgin River's Tim Matheson from Beyond Hart of Dixie
In addition to Dr. Brick Breeland on Hart of Dixie, Matheson has played many other notable roles.
If watching Virgin River feels like a bit of déjà vu to you, that's because it is: Vernon "Doc" Mullins in the Netflix original series is played by the same actor who portrayed another fictional doctor you likely recognize, Dr. Brick Breeland from The CW's Hart of Dixie. The repeat role, while strange to some, has been far from a bother to us — we've actually found an odd sort of comfort in seeing him in this familiar role in the Netflix smash hit.
With Virgin River dethroning The Crown in recent streaming ratings, we decided to do some more sleuthing on the small-town doc and see what else we may recognize the actor from on TV and in the movies. As it turns out, the list is more lengthy than we knew, with Virgin River and Hart of Dixie just the tip of this actor's impressive portfolio.
Among his long list of credits, some standouts from recent years include CBS' Madam Secretary (which you can currently stream on Netflix), NBC's This Is Us (which you can currently stream on Peacock), and USA Network's Burn Notice (which you can currently stream on Amazon Prime and Hulu). Then there's several TV movies from the past few years including WB's The Prince, Hallmark's Magical Christmas Ornaments, and Lifetime's Last Chance for Christmas.
Matheson is perhaps best known for playing Vice President John Hoynes on The West Wing (which you can currently stream on HBO Max), the beloved NBC show which ran from 1999 to 2006. His TV career dates back to the early 1960s where he appeared on shows like Leave It to Beaver and The Alvin Show.
Movie-wise, he's likely best known for his leading role as Eric "Otter" Stratton in 1977's National Lampoon's Animal House. If you want to treat yourself to Matheson's talent from his younger years — and a whole lot of laughs, we're not going to stop you.
Unless, of course, that'd be holding you up from finishing the nail-biting second season of Virgin River, in which case we'd say: Turn on Netflix, Doc's orders.

PM hits out at Cricket Australia over national day marketing
Australia's Prime Minister has taken a swipe at Cricket Australia over their marketing of matches on Jan. 26, when the country observes a national holiday. The Australia Day holiday marks the day in 1788 when a fleet of British ships landed just south of Sydney to begin the colonisation of the country. The observation of the holiday on that date is opposed by groups representing Australia's indigenous people, some of whom have dubbed the holiday "Invasion Day" or "National Day of Mourning".

Tokyo Games may be too big a gamble, disease expert says
As embattled Tokyo Olympics organizers enter the final six months of preparations for the delayed Games on Saturday, virus experts believe hosting the world's biggest sporting event may be too big a gamble. The Olympics are due to start on July 23 but with much of Japan in a state of emergency and growing public opposition, organizers are under increasing pressure. Japan has been less severely hit by the coronavirus pandemic than many other advanced economies, but a recent surge in cases spurred it to close its borders to non-resident foreigners and declare a state of emergency in Tokyo and major cities.
