Amanda Tapping interview: Stargate SG-1, Atlantis and Sanctuary
As The Ark Of Truth hits DVD, Stargate superstar Amanda Tapping - aka Samantha Carter - spares some time for a chat...
Simon Brew
Amanda Tapping has played Samantha Carter in the Stargate SG-1 and now Stargate: Atlantis for well over a decade. As the closing chapter in the SG-1 saga, The Ark Of Truth, hits DVD, she spared us some time for a chat in the middle of London.
More than a decade on a science fiction show is a remarkable feat, even more so that the character has been carried onto a second show as well. What is it that’s kept you hooked into the Stargate world all this time?
I love the character. At the end of the day she is fun to play, she’s interesting. The writers keep giving me new angles on her. It’s never become really boring. And Stargate was easy to stick with for ten years because it was fun. As dorky as that sounds, at the end of the day if you can laugh every day while doing your job regardless of what’s going on, which we did, then yeah! It makes it so worth it to be there. A, I had fun. B, I loved the character, and the stories and the mythology, so why would I leave?
A lot of actors would say weren’t you bored, weren’t you bored. And no, I wasn’t.
