It’s Marina Sirtis Birthday today (March 29) and while she is perhaps the face of TNG she gets her mention on The Gatecast for her portrayal of Svetlana Markov in the SG1 episode “Watergate” complete with appropriate accent.
While TNG played up her curves the Stargate producers put her in a furry parker.

Our traditional poll for the favourite episode of the current season of SG1 we are discussing is now live, it will run until we record the sixth season wrap up show and the results used to fuel our banter. If anyone fancies spending a couple of hours with us on skype talking season 6 in a friendly and hopefully informative manner then get in touch, we are few weeks away from recording so plenty of time to schedule a date/time.

March 20th Birthdays kick off with the one and only John de Lancie who played the villainous Colonel Frank Simmons in SG1 but alas was better known for playing “Q” in TNG which we don’t hold against him, great performances in both roles. IMDB
Also sharing birthdays today are Louis Chirillo (Bert Simmons SG1 Citizen Joe), Nicholas Harrison (SG1), Ingrid Kavelaars (Major Erin Gant SG1) and Georgia Craig (Sabrina Gosling SG1).

A very happy birthday to Connor Trinneer who is probably best known for his role as ” Trip” on Enterprise but he also played a major part in Stargate Atlantis as the Wraith Michael who turned out to be a pretty good villain and certainly a match for the Atlantians.
Also on the 19th Kelly Vint celebrates her birth, maybe not a familiar name but way back in Stargate the movie she played the very young Catherine Langford a character who appeared in SG1 years later.

Gerri and Eugenia of the Women Talk Scifi podcast interview Corin Nemec about his time on Stargate, Supernatural and his recent movie “Sand Sharks”. They also do a feature on scifi “b” movies the ones we all love:)

Stargate, it was a summer blockbuster, wonderfully over the top with an impressive budget for it’s time and brought to the screen one Jack O’Neil played by the one and only Kurt Russell.
Kurt celebrates his birthday today (17th march) and while his movie career has been full of memorable roles for me it’s still the first incarnation of Jack which rates the highest for me, very different to the TV version as fitting for the big screen.

Happy birthday to Stargate producer Michael Greenburg one of the lesser known or maybe less forthcoming fathers of the franchise. He produced the bulk of SG1 as well as the pilot of Atlantis and worked on Macgyver and Legend, he also wrote the odd episode.
On a side note the great Victor Garber also has a birthday today (16/3) a quality character actor who only graced Stargate for a single episode and that was SGU’s Seizure.
Mar 142012
Another couple of birthdays today for actors who played their part in the success of Stargate.
The first is Garwin Sanford who played the rather likeable Narim a member of the Tollan people, they may have been a little arrogant and superior but he was all right and of course liked Sam so ultimately doomed.
He also played Simon Wallis in Stargate Atlantis, not as meaty a role but still pretty good going to get two separate significant speaking parts in the franchise.
Sharing a birthday on the 15th is Grace Park better known for her regular role in Battlestar Galactica and more recently Hawaii 5-0 but way back when she was a young up and coming actress (pre-maxim) a speaking role on a show like Stargate wasn’t bad at all.

A few birthdays for Stargate alumni on this day (13th March).
Steve Bacic who played Camulus & Maj Coburn on SG1 and he also appeared in Andromeda, BSG & Smallville. Also this day Noah Beggs who played Dex in SGA and a guard in SG1 celebrates. Kiara Hunter has a birthday today and she played the Alien Princess in Wormhole X-Treme.
Mar 122012
Happy birthday to Rick Worthy who celebrates his birth today (12/3). He played K’tano in the SG1 episode “The Warrior” and had reoccurring roles in Battlestar Galactica and Enterprise.

This audio was taken from the Farscape season 2 commentary track of the the episode “The Locket” not long after Claudia had worked on Stargate playing Vala.
