    SG-1 Gets Hair Raising

    Christopher Judge, who plays Teal'c on SCI FI Channel's original
    series Stargate SG-1, told SCI FI Wire that his character undergoes
    one notable change in the upcoming eighth season: He grows
    hair. "Yes," Judge said in an interview during a break in filming on
    the show's Vancouver, B.C., set. "It took a lot of years of begging
    and groveling for me to finally get it, but yeah, ... that will be
    the most obvious change, definitely."

    Judge, who is not naturally bald, said that seven years of shaving
    his head daily took its toll. "I got really tired of it," he
    said. "Just shaving my head every morning. And by three quarters of
    the way through the season it was really painful to actually shave.
    So, you know, this is very welcome. Very welcome. Hopefully the fans
    will like it."

    Judge added that it took a little persuasion to get the show's
    producers to allow such a dramatic change to his character's
    appearance--and he even tried a more radical look. "It first was at
    least considered when there was going to be all the changes this
    year," he said. "I'd done a bunch of conventions and had corn rows
    [during hiatus], so I talked to [executive producer] Rob Cooper
    before I left, and he said, 'OK, maybe so.' So I kind of unveiled the
    corn rows at the conventions. So we got here [when filming resumed],
    and it was the Friday before the Monday we started shooting, and
    pictures were sent down to MGM. And they didn't like it. So I had to
    shave the corn rows. But this is what's left."

    Judge's hair is now closely cropped. "Believe me, I'm grateful for
    it," he said with a smile. "I think it was time for it. You know, I
    mean eight years for this character to be on Earth? I just think that
    was the next move toward his ... final assimilation. So yeah, I think
    the timing is right."

    So how will the show acknowledge Teal'c's new do? "Nothing's said
    about it until we find [star] Rick [Dean Anderson, who plays O'Neill]
    in ... the first episode of the season. And he comes out of the
    little chamber and says, 'So what's with the hair?' In typical
    O'Neill fashion." Stargate SG-1 begins its eighth season on July 9.

    Darn, I loved the corn row look. Maybe TPTB thought that it was too hip for Teal'c.
