I enjoyed the interview with David. He sounds very charming. And he really DOES talk a mile a minute.

David Hewlett and our GW David. What a great combination.

Great interview David! It just reaffirms to me how "cool" (

) Mr. Hewlett really is.

Extremely cool interview with David. It was great to see him open up that way. Finally someone who talks as fast as I do when I'm excited - my wife got a kick out of that. I didn't think my question was THAT much of a bomb, but he answered it beautifully - THANK YOU for using it

(btw, it's pronounced "Zim"

) Thanks again for the great interview! Looking forward to pt. 2

I always ask that you include either the correct way to pronounce your alias or your actual name -- something a midwestern boy can reliably pronounce. Otherwise I go at it blind and sound more like an idiot than I do just by myself.

Thanks for the nice interview. That was fun to read. I love David's sense of humor and just the way he talks in general, very honest and upfront. Interview just keeps you want to ask more questions just to listen to him say more!!!

Can't wait for the second part of the interview

SaberBlade · #7 December 26th, 2006, 08:23 PM

Does the second part also include more fan questions or just this part?

I liked this part of the interview. I liked how he went into the Hewlettisms, as I had wondered who exactly coined the phrase and that he's got a very comical relationship with his sister has he always joked around when talking about her.

Best Christmas Present Gateworld could give! Thank you to both Davids! Always wonderful to hear from David on how Mckay tics. And neat stuff about the split-screen acting.

He is indeed very "cool".

Can't wait for part two!

no biggie... it actually sounded more interesting that way

regardless, thanks again for picking the question

I was impressed with how forthright David Hewlett was.... Rodney McKay may be the resident supergenius of SGA, but David Hewlett strikes me as being a rather intelligent individual himself. I've gotta give kudos to GW David, he did a great job with him (heck, I've been impressed with ALL of the GW interviewers - they seem to have a wonderful rapport with the actors/crew/etc.).

Yes, David, very good interview. You sound like you really have a handle on production and directing. Have you been keeping another life secret from us?

Franklyn Blaze · #11 December 27th, 2006, 01:27 AM

Awesome interview, bring on part 2!

Mercury973 · #12 December 27th, 2006, 10:06 AM

I agree that it's a shame that they cut the Carson scene from Tao, but otherwise good interview. (Little long on the technical aspects of movie making)

Thank you both Davids! Can't wait for part 2.

surfinmuffin · #13 December 27th, 2006, 11:45 AM

Squeeee, what a christmas present can't wait to hear part 2! Thanks to both the Davids for bringing this to us!

angelfire east · #14 December 27th, 2006, 05:56 PM

Can't wait for part 2

Just a feature-length film project I mention in Part 1, which I hope to be posting on my blog before the year's end.

Three or four more, including our Mouse Pad winner.

SlytherinGal · #19 December 28th, 2006, 01:21 AM
