    Stargate Universe - Casting Call

    From SpoilerTV:

    http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2008/0...ting-call.html


    Opinions, anyone?

    Looks for me like there is about zero crew members I could identify with.
    The cake is a lie!

    If thats ture then i am rather disappointed. None of those characters sound interesting and most of them sound extremely cliched.

      Here is what it says for future reference

      Spoiler:
      EXEC PROD/WRTR, Brad Wright, Robert Cooper.
      Shoot Dates: February 4, 2009 (in Vancouver, Canada).

      Colonel Everett Young
      40's handsome, capable, former SG team leader. Like the Jack O'Neill of ten years ago, but Young's edges have tended to sharpen over time. He requested permission to serve the remainder of his commission on Earth upon marrying his wife, Hailey, two years ago, but for now he's temporary commander of a secret off world base. The loss of two members of his team several years ago has taught him never to take anything for granted, and be prepared for anything. He stays on top of his team so they stay alive. STAR NAMES ONLY. SERIES REGULAR;

      Tamara Jon
      20-25, all ethnicities (Asian Preferably). SGC Field medic, Captain grade. Off world experience. Beautiful, tough, smart, capable. Paramedic level training. Able to triage serious injury. Modest background. Dreamed of being a doctor but couldn't afford medical school and the Air Force was her best option. She ends up being the most medically inclined person on the ship but is overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge and experience treating seriously wounded and ill patients. She also lacks the medicine and supplies and has to make do. SERIES REGULAR;

      Chloe Carpenter
      20ish. Stunning and sexy. Daughter of a U.S. Senator. Silver spoon upbringing and a little spoiled but not stupid either. Politically and socially savvy. Dreams of following in her father's footsteps but for now she's a bit of a party girl in her first year at an Ivy League school. Her father's tragic death and the dire circumstances of being trapped on a spaceship seriously tests her character. SERIES REGULAR;

      Eli Hitchcock
      20-25. Total slacker. Utter genius. Mathematics, computers, anything he puts his mind to. Acerbic sense of humor. A social outcast. Comes from a broken home. Lacks confidence because his true intelligence has never really been recognized like Matt Damon's character from Good Will Hunting with a little Jack Black thrown in sptv050769. SERIES REGULAR;

      Lt. Jared Nash
      20-25. Junior SGC team member. Officer material but green and rough around the edges. Every teenage girl's fantasy. Like a college quarterback thrown into his first pro game, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he's ready for the responsibility and must learn to take command, earn respect through action, and manage the diverse personalities on the ship to keep everyone alive. Like Jason Bourne, he is skilled and well-trained however he is mentally unprepared for the urgency of the situation. SERIES REGULAR;

      Ron "Psycho" Stasiak
      20, all ethnicities. Marine. Big, strong, silent. You want him on your side. You don't want him mad at you. Lacks control over his temper in non combat situations. His past is a mystery but it's clear something dark formed the hard shell around him. Yet, there must also be some moral center because otherwise he'd kill everyone around him. Think Eric Bana's character "Hoot" in Blackhawk Down. SERIES REGULAR.

        all casting calls look like that, its just a quick background information for actors to get into character for the audition. that might not necessarily be their background.

          Yeah I think O'neill losing his son was a tad of a darker background.

          This one sounds interesting, she'll likely get Forded by the 2nd season.

          Party girl huh? Wow I wonder if the rest of the cast will be invited to the pants party.

          Jack Black? So we are going into the Nacho Libre School of Rock Stargate Era?

          The bold part truly scares me.

              I must admit that my expectations for SGU have dropped. Upon reading the characters that will be in Universe, I must say that my hopes for this show have just gone the way of the dodo. All the characters are so cliched, and the Chloe Carpenter character almost made me throw up. "20ish. Stunning and sexy. Daughter of a U.S. Senator. Silver spoon upbringing and a little spoiled but not stupid either...." need I go on? I initially believed that Brad Wright or anyone else heading SGU weren't going to make into some sappy teen drama thing, but now I'm really pissed. I really hope this is only a rumor or someone messing with us, because I seriously can't see SGU being more than Stargate: 90210 now. This totally sucks!

                It's scary because every regular of Stargate has started above 25 years old. I think Michael Shanks was the youngest next to Jason Momoa.

                  I know i'm being pessimistic but i seriously hope she goes the way of ford... before the show evven starts if they got rid of her and the one who's supposed to be "like a college quarterback in his first game" then the show might be salvagable IMO

                    For now, I'm not really going to judge things. The team leader interests me a bit, and the others, well, I'll wait for more information on. Once things are a little more official.

                      Yes. Shanks was 28, Chris Judge 33 and Amanda Tapping 32.


                      What I don't like is the spin at the beginning of this segment on Gateworld which asks fans to remember...

                      (Keep in mind that when Stargate SG-1 began in 1997, Michael Shanks, Christopher Judge, and Amanda Tapping were also in their twenties.)
                      That's not accurate by any means.

                        I am still not ready to jump to that conclusion. I want to actually see these people interact on-screen before I judge anything too harshly.

                          To be fair, the casts of both SG-1 and Atlantis probably sounded just as "cliché" from their casting sides.

                            This cast sounds just wrong and ages too young. Ford didn't work out. Now they have 5 of them...

                              Yes I"m sure they did. But seriously, couldn't they have worked a little harder to make it sound less like 90210? I mean, come on, PARTY GAL in space??
