It’s the daddy of them all, happy birthday to Richard Dean Anderson born this day Jan 23rd 1950.
He brought us McGuyver then eclipsed that with Jack O’Neill under the Stargate banner, thanks for everything RDA it’s been great and looking forward to you continuing to dip into TV now and again.
Two Stargate alumni celebrate their birthdays today (22nd).
From SG1 we have Michael Kopsa who played two roles in the show the first as a news anchor in the episode “There But For The Grace Of God” and then General Kerrigan in “Proving Ground” and “Prodigy”.
We then have Jennifer Spence who played Dr Lisa Park in 36 of the 40 episodes of Stargate Universe.
Scott and Miles from The Scifi Diner interview Chris Judge.

If you fancy your own custom etched glasses then this is the place for you and here is an example of their work with various Jaffa glyphs etched into some scotch glasses.
It’s finally released, the first issue of Dark Matter is out. The scifi story created by Stargate writers/producers Paul Mullie and Joseph Mallozzi.
Sharing the 5th of January as their birthdate is Paul McGillion who starred on Stargate Atlantis as Dr Carson Beckett and continued in the tradition of the franchise in bringing us well respected Doctors and in Scifi in general. His performance helped make Beckett a leading role in the show thanks to the positive fan response from the pilot.
Many happy returns Paul.
Our best wishes to Joe Flanigan today (the 5th) on his birthday (born 1967) and our thanks for his exceptional work on Stargate Atlantis playing John Sheppard. We’ve seem him guest star on Warehouse 13 and Fringe recently as well as TV movies Ferocious Planet and Change of Plans but we want more.
Happy Birthday Joe.
The Gatecast wishes Peter Williams a very happy Birthday for the 31st. Peter as you know played Apophis in the SG1 pilot Children of the Gods and thus became only the first Goa’uld on the TV show and only second of his species in the franchise, he went on to guest star in 20 episodes of SG1. Along with the writers Peter helped to shape the style, flamboyance and arrogance of the system lords and truly created a guy we loved to hate.
Christmas and New Year greetings from The Gatecast
Best wishes to all our listeners and the fans that made
Stargate SG1, Atlantis and Universe possible which
in turn spawned us.
For 2012 we will be continuing season 6 of SG1 and then going
straight into season 7 which we should complete and then things will get interesting.
The Gatecast proper will return on the 7th of January with Nightwalkers
Birthday greetings on the 22nd to Jay Brazeau who played the unforgettable Harlan in “Tinman” and “Double Jeopardy” in Stargate SG1 also the Lord Protector in the Atlantis episode “The Tower”.
Happy Birthday to Michael Shanks, we watched the actor and his character grow for well over a decade and branch out into other genres and productions. Guest roles on Sanctuary, Andromeda, Smallville, Burn Notice plus many a scifi/fantasy feature sealed Michaels place in our part of the world.
Daniel (of the Dan&Gina podcast) a long time listener and guest host of our show found these absolutely brilliant Stargate figures in a local junk shop. Not only was I surprised the movie actually had a toy line but good ol’ Kawalsky got himself immortalised in plastic:)
David DeLuise yes the brother of Peter and Michael got himself a juicy role on SG1 and even got further with Sam than most did, kudos:)
Gateworld once again comes up with the goodies.
