I watched this movie today and it was great fun if you like that sort of thing and you know that I do:)
For the purposes of Stargate there were a few familiar faces such as Steve Bacic (SG1 Camulus / Major Coburn), Aaron Douglas (SG1 Jaffa / Moac) and David Lewis (SG1 Cameron Balinsky).
There was also Andrew Dunbar (SGU Cpl. Gorman) and Daniel Boileau (SGA Cocoon Victim) who both had smaller roles in this Syfy Saturday feature.

A bumper basket of Stargate Birthdays today (December 17th).
First up is the delightfully whimsical and talented Kate Hewlett who appeared in four episodes of Stargate Atlantis playing Jeannie Miller aka Jeannie McKay who was Rodney’s sister and in a pleasing symmetry she and David are also brother and sister. Kate has written and consulted for television ( The LA Complex and Being Erica ) as well a numerous other roles on tv and theatre. IMDB 

David MacInnis appeared in two episodes of Stargate Atlantis ( The Return Parts 1&2 ) and a single episode of SG1 (Ex Deus Machina). He has also worked on Dead Like Me, The 4400, Smallville and Saving Hope. IMDB

Matthew Harrison guest starred in the SG1 episode “Double Jeopardy” and was a scientist in the Atlantis episode “Conversion”. He’s appeared in Smallville, Tru Calling, Cold Squad, Psych and had a recurring role in Chaos. IMDB

Last and certainly not least a very happy birthday to Ernie Hudson who will perhaps always be known for being the fourth Ghostbuster who best represented us normal folk in other words if there is a pay cheque then I’m in:)
Ernie was also Warden Leo Glynn in the prison drama OZ and has also guest starred in Bones, Torchwood, ER and Desperate Housewives, alas his only appearance in Stargate was in the SG1 season 9 episode “Ethon” playing Pernaux in which we see some familiar faces from an
earlier SG1 episode. IMDB

A Very Happy Birthday to Wallace Shawn (Nov 12th) who appeared in a single Stargate SG1 episode playing a character called  “Arlos”, the episode was the season nine story “The Ties That Bind” He has guest starred on Eureka, DS9 and GossipGirl but I think we all came to know and love him when he played Vizzini in The Princess Bride.
IMDB


Yesterday (Nov 11th) saw the birthday of David DeLuise one of the many members of that family who graced the Stargate sets, he played Pete Shanahan the erstwhile suitor of Sam Carter with it has to be said some success. David had a starring role in Wizards of Waverly Place and a recurring role on 3rd Rock from the Sun.

There have been a handful of people who have had far more than their fair share in shaping the Stargate franchise, setting aside Jonathan and Brad who created the television show and Rob who came onto the show for the second episode onwards the group gets even smaller.

Today the 6th of November we are celebrating one of these guys birthdays namely Mr Peter DeLuise, writer, actor, producer and all round good guy and lets not forget a shining example of how to share the limelight with friends and family:) IMDB

Happy Birthday Peter, many thanks for Stargate as well as Seaquest, 21 Jump Street and so many other roles on our favourite shows in and out of the genre.

You know this is how he always sees himself:)

Let us not forget two more actors who have appeared in Stargate but alas many are eclipsed by Peter’s shadow so happy birthday to Paul Perri who played Dr Woods in the Stargate SG1 episode “Frozen” and David Pressman who played a Lieutenant in the original Stargate feature.

A very happy birthday to David Ogden Stiers who only made three appearances in Stargate Atlantis playing the role of Oberoth  (Progeny, First Strike and Lifeline). However most of us will know him from his long running role of the pompous Major Charles Winchester in the even longer running M*A*S*H series and in between playing Reverend Purdy in The Dead Zone series.

Robert C Cooper celebrates his birthday today (October 14th) and without a doubt he has been a cornerstone of the entire Stargate television franchise having either written, directed, produced (in all it’s forms) from SG1’s second episode through to the finale of SGU. Rob is currently working on The Transporter a Canadian/multi national tv version of the popular action movie franchise. IMDB

Also having birthdays today are Nels Lennarson ( IMDB ) who guest starred in the SG1 episode Death Knell as Major Green and the Atlantis episode Phantoms as Captain Holland.

David Kaye ( IMDB ) a well known voice actor in the industry had a cameo in Stargate Continuum playing an interviewer, there are no small roles in Stargate.

We have a big Stargate birthday today (23rd July).
The one and only Ronny Cox celebrates his birth, while most of us will know him from his tv and movie work which includes Senator Kinsey the man we all love to hate on Stargate SG1 and starring roles in Total Recall and Robocop he also has an established presence in the music field. He is a singer and song writer of a blend of folk/country music and has a number of albums released and tours regularly.
