Q&A ROBERT PICARDO
One of the best parts of SGA's fifth season has been the unlikely ascent of
Robert Picardo's uptight Richard Woolsey to team leader. Woolsey is a
stick-in-the-mud, but Picardo's good humor about his eclectic career (China
Beach, The
Wonder Years, Star Trek Voyager, etc.) proves he's quite the opposite.
Describe Woolsey: He's a bureaucrat trying to reinvent himself as a leader.
We've seen examples in various governments hwere that hasn't always succeeded.
He's a Monday-morning quarterback who is now on the field.
How does Atlantis compare to Voyager: Trek is probably more cerebral and
philosophical. Stargate does seat-of-the-pants adventure and humor better.
Having
done both, it's great to be a part of more freewheeling storytelling.
Any pet peeves about space: [On Trek], my pet peeve was there were no
zippers. Or pockets! On Stargate, I not only have pockets, but I have four or
even
six! [laughs]
You have a great series track record. A favorite? China Beac. It was a
tremendous responsibility to try and heal some of those Vietnam wounds.
