It has never really been a habit of mine. My approach has always been: This is a real person. So to make him real, I try

This years UBCP/ACTRA awards took place last night (Nov 7th) at the Vancouver Playhouse and were hosted by Roger Cross and Jill Morrison. The awards are part of the industry leading union which represents British Columbian performers from all walks of media and of course as you would expect many familiar names from Canadian productions which air globally.

For our part there were a few winners who you will recognise from Stargate so congratulations to them and to everyone that was nominated for an award.

Well there was a bumper crop of former Stargate actors making an appearance on the latest episode of Arrow (S4E3 Restoration).

We had Carmen Moore returning to the show as Mina Fayad, Kevan Ohtsji simply tagged as the “man”, JR Bourne as the wonderfully made up Double Down and finally fresh from the final season of Continuum the always excellent Ryan Robbins playing Conklin.

There were a few notable former Stargate actors with speaking roles in the recent summer movie Tomorrowland, granted the movie didn’t do very well in terms of critical acclaim or box office but I don’t think it was that bad, a weak ending perhaps but beautifully produced. Anyhow we did a bit of screen time for Paul McGillion, Garry Chalk and David Nykl as well minor roles for Jason Bell, Paul Anthony and Patrick Sabongui.
