Jim Taggart (Eureka character)
Encyclopedia
Dr. Jim Taggart is a character on the American
science fiction
drama Eureka
. He is played by Matt Frewer
.
Dr. Taggart is Eureka's veterinarian and "biological containment specialist", which means he catches whatever needs to be caught. If it walks, talks, eats, breathes, or bleeds, it falls within Taggart's domain. He is depicted as an Australian (with a farcical Australian accent) and often butts heads with the sheriff and townsfolk who refuse to appreciate the delicate and unique wildlife situation in Eureka. He appears to have an obsession with catching Lowjack, a dog who randomly appears all over town, and remarks that the dog is "evil incarnate" (though he lets him lick his face). Taggart hints that Lowjack isn't "really a dog".
Taggart appears to be quite fond of Jo Lupo; and dates her briefly ("Primal"). He is seen making out with Jo in "H.O.U.S.E. Rules", and the two are seen as a couple in the possible future shown in "Once in a Lifetime". In "Phoenix Rising", Jo expresses doubts about a possible relationship with him due to their age difference. At the end of Season 1 he was 45 years old.
He reappears at the end of the second season "A Night at Global Dynamics", where he, Carter and Stark are sent to GD, to investigate the biohazard-outbreak. He later guides the rest of the employees in the building to the exit.
In the third season episode "Have an Ice Day", he is part of the Arctic ice core project.
He seems to still have feelings for Jo.
His recent appearance is the show's 4.5 season.
