Amanda Tapping and Robin Dunne will host this years Leo Awards, Gary Jones will host the Celebration event. I don’t think it’s possible to pick three more appropriate hosts for these British Columbia film and television industry awards.
A very happy birthday on the 20th April to William deVry a Canadian actor who played Aldwin the Tok’ra in Stargate Sg1 and has been seen more recently in Nikita as Miller one of Percy’s guardians.
Mr David Hewlett who is not known for his forwardness and demand for the spotlight celebrates his birthday today (April 18th), he was of course the star of Stargate Atlantis and has had guest spots on SG1 and Universe so he is truly one of rocks of the franchise.

His biggest claim to fame is being the brother of Kate Hewlett.
Also on the 18th Laura Mennell celebrates her birthday, star of Alphas and guest spots on Sanctuary and Stargate Atlantis, quite a beautiful woman and strong in the genre.
We have quite a few Stargate Birthdays today but most notable Alaina Huffman who played Lt Tamara Johansen in Stargate Universe and also Black Canary in Smallville. A mother of three:)
Also today Stargate Birthdays for
- Carlo Rota
- Brendan Beiser
- Alonso Oyarzun
- Mylene Dinh-Robic
Stargate Universe returns to UK screens thanks to SKY1/SKY1HD on the 16th of April at 9am. The first episode “Air” is broadcast at 9am with episode 2 at 3pm and episode 3 at 4pm, the rolling daily schedule favoured by SKY for years offers repeats the next day so even without a DVR there are lots of opportunities to see every episode.
Given the lack of a HD Blu-ray for the second season this run may alas be the only way to see that season in all it’s glory.
The very unique talent that is Robert Carlyle and yes one of the most unexpected stars of the Stargate franchise celebrates his birth today (April 14th).
He played Dr Nicholas Rush on Stargate Universe and if we can be grateful for anything from that shows failure to thrive on Syfy it’s Robert’s performance as Mr Gold/Rumplestiltskin in ABC’s Once Upon A Time.

A very Happy Birthday to Kathleen Munroe who played the wonderful Amanda Perry on Stargate Universe and also the alternate Audrey Parker on Haven.

A big birthday hug (don’t I wish) to Jamie Ray Newman who was born April 2nd 1978.
