Dr. Weir?

[Jack O' Neil]

I haven't seen the lost city pt 1 or 2 yet (since I live in canada) and I heard that Dr. Weir was played by a different actress then in stargate atlantis. Is it true?

[Asgard Buddy]

Yup, and she's not even a blonde!

[Major Fischer]

yes, in Lost City she was played by Jessica Steen and she was recast for Atlantis and is now played by Torri Higginson.

A reason was not given for the recast.

I thought it was because Jessica Steen didn't want the Atlantis part?

'Cause when I saw an interview with Richard Dean Anderson on a Canadian daily show, he said that there were a few things not exactly smooth with the casting in the whole franchise... Or something like that.

Steen has claimed that she took the part knowing and prepared for the Atlantis series. I have heard rumors that TPTB did not like the way she played the character or took direction, but I doubt anyone will ever tell that story for certain and it's really best not to ponder on an issue that is ultimately between them and her.

I heard that Steen did not want a permanent role
