It always gives me a fuzzy feeling when some of my favorite actors from cancelled shows find work. But this one's going to be especially interesting, because according to Gateworld, Morena Baccarin has been cast as Adria, the adult version of Vala's daughter (conceived by the Ori) and leader of the Ori invasion of our galaxy. She's apparently going to be a major recurring character.

July 14? I thought someone said Sci-Fi wasn't starting their new "season" until October.
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
Only for BSG. SG1 and SGA start in July. Anyone else got a cancelled sci-fi series they want to transfer actors over to the Stargate franchise?

Ron Rifkin?

Stargate really is turning into the home for actors from cancelled shows. How many dose this make now?
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
In terms of regular or recurring actors, we have Andromeda, Farscape, Enterprise, and now Firefly. The actress for Kaylee in Firefly was in a one-off in Atlantis from last year...
And the very nature of Vancouver filming means a TON of SF shows have come and gone in the past decade there. Highlander, Sliders, Viper, Mantis, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits... Any Canadian actor who's been in Vancouver will have been in at least a couple of 'em.

Is Amy Acker aka Winifred Berkle aka Fred aka Illyria in any show at the moment? I miss Fred.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
She's a regular on Alias. (For the last four or five episodes, but she gets to be in the opening credits, anyway.)
Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :
Wait, who's the character from Enterprise?
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
Connor Trinneer. Though how come he didn't turn back into the actor who plays every non-masked male Wraith?
(Born in Walla Walla? Huh.)
Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :
Oh, right. Also, there's Jolene Blalock as *gag* Teal'c's semi-girlfriend. But I try to repress my thoughts on those episodes.

I'm surprised you forgot The X-Files, which filmed in Vancouver for many seasons!
Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
Thta crappy Mutant X show and a bunch of "Buffy" like shows -Cleopatra 2040 ( whatever) was also done up there I think. That craptackular Highlander spinoff Raven was too, I believe. The Sentinel and Earth Final Cornflake were also part of that crowd.
Really, you'd thing the whole city was abandoned wharehouses that can explode without the police and firefighters showing up for....well, ever as the hero(s) make their slow, triumphant exit.
On another note:
Can someone please tell me why George Takei and Michael Dorn are in a low-budget sci-fi channel CGI-fest called A.I. Assualt? Are they really that bad at investing their money? Did they read the script and say "This is my chance to co-star with some WOTW knock-offs with Doctor Octopus arms! My dreams are finally coming true!"
I mean, fuck, are the Trek converntions paying that bad? Have all the royalties dried up or is it some mob-debt thing?
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
All of Jason's shows were filmed in Toronto, where it's actually WARM during some parts of the year, there isn't as much rain, and where more than pine trees can take root.
Oh yeah, and The X-Files. True story - in it's prime, when actors met each other in Vancouver for the first time, they used to say, "So, how'd YOU die on X-Files?"

Jason's shows? Jason Abbadon?
Hey I thought Joelene Blalok on SG1 was great!
And another Hey! Earth: Final Cornflake (I like that title) season 1 was one very fine season of shows... the series had A LOT of potential - that final episode was great - then it went pear shaped.

Actually Conner Truineer plays a wraith that was in Atlantis and looks to be a recurring character!
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Character, perhaps. Actor, no.
Posted by Sol System (Member # 30) on :
I'm confused. He's already a recurring character, by the most generous definition. (He's been in two episodes.) IMDb has him in two of the upcoming season as well, though they could of course be wrong.
Posted by MinutiaeMan (Member # 444) on :
No, Connor Trineer is coming back to Atlantis � he wasn't able to be in the finale, so they got a stand-in, but he's going to be back for the others in the future.
