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.

His biggest claim to fame is being the brother of Kate Hewlett.

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 big birthday hug (don’t I wish) to Jamie Ray Newman who was born April 2nd 1978. She had a way too short recurring role in Stargate Atlantis playing Lt Laura Cadman a nemesis if you will to Rodney McKay. She is an exceptionally beautiful woman who has carved out a solid niche in both drama and genre productions.

Notable roles…

  • Eureka
  • Grimm
  • Castle
  • NCIS
  • Eastwick
