Jill Wagner.

Oops. Her WIPEOUT show is on ABC right now (8-9pm ET) but if you've missed it, you really didn't miss much. I think she had better dialogue on her Mercury car ads

folks, IMDB is far from an official source of anything.

It's like Wikipedia...when you have a place that anyone can contribute to, it's just as accurate as the people putting the info up

Michael's versatility has been spotlighted in guest appearances on over 25 television shows. In his guest appearance on "Stargate SG-1." Michael was critically acclaimed for his portrayal of Colonel Jack O'Neill cloned in Welch's body. He has had such diverse roles as a Buddhist monk, autistic teen and young man battling with the law.



Michael is no stranger to the stage; he had the wonderful opportunity to play Ian McKellen’s son in "Enemy of The People" with the Royal National Theatre. Over the past several years Michael's talents have brought him acclaim on the big screen. He has appeared in "An American Crime," "Buster’s Class Reunion," "American Son" and "The Beautiful Ordinary," and has recently completed his most challenging role in "Lost Dream." He also stars in "Day of the Dead", "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" and "Twilight". Watch for many of these films to come to theaters in 2008.

Michael has been involved with the charity Kids with a Cause since 1999. He received the 2005 “Star Innovative Award” for his environmental contributions. Michael has received two Young Artist Awards for his excellence in both film and television.

A brief excerpt:

Gilles Nuytens: What interested you in Twilight and in the character you play?


Michael Welch: As some of you may know, I had never heard of the books before I auditioned. Just as I had never seen Stargate SG-1 before auditioning for that. I’m a loser... I liked the idea of “Twilight” a lot because I love anything to do with vampires. I thought the story was really interesting, that’s what got me excited about the project initially. And then, the 50,000 posts on imdb within 48 hours of the “Twilight” film announcement got me pretty pumped as well. Mike Newton is a great guy, isn’t he? I think he’s a real sweetheart. And by the way I think he’s fun, I don’t think he’s annoying at all. I realize though that many people who find Mike annoying also tend to find me annoying. So that’s cool, ‘cause I like Mike.

Nix shared a little “Burn Notice” casting news: Michael Shanks, who played Daniel Jackson on “Stargate SG-1,” will appear in four consecutive episodes of the show as Victor, another burned spy with whom Michael and Carla will work. Shanks first turns up in Episode 6 of Season 2.

MR: Any other guest stars coming up?
MN: We’ve got [“Stargate SG-1” actor] Michael Shanks in a four-episode arc as Victor, another burned spy who works with Carla, and Michael gets to work with him too. Victor has a very different attitude toward his burn notice.

Wikipedia is horribly inaccurate. I know of one entry (this is on an individual) who has basically padded his entire 'entry' on himself with glowing stuff, neglecting stuff like, oh, that jail sentence *cough*.

IMDB used to be good but now they let any ole person with a computer add stuff, and for the sake of your sanity, don't read the comments. Pretty awful stuff in there on actors, etc.

People going to vancouver in august are spending around 4 figures on airfare, hotel costs, and the ticket to see him/talk to him for around five seconds during a photo op and the photographers in california spend nothing but the cost of a memory card. it just doesn't seem fair.

They have to travel to San Diego as well...

It's six of one, half dozen of another. For some fans, it's an expensive trip to San Diego, for some to Vancouver. Probably -- for most fans to both locales.

To Boldly Go Where Many Men Have Gone Before

Posted Jun 26th 2008 9:33AM by Chris Jancelewicz

Let's establish something first: I am NOT a Trekkie or a Trekker [Soraya's peanut gallery comment: "Yeah, right, Face it, resistance is futile"]. I'm late into the game and more of a pseudo sci-fi nerd. But when my girlfriend bought tickets to Star Trek: The Music as performed by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, I'll admit I got excited.

Hosted by John de Lancie (time traveller 'Q' from Star Trek: The Next Generation [SG1's Col. Frank Simmon]) and Robert Picardo (the holographic doctor from Star Trek: Voyager [SG1/SGA's Richard Woolsey]), it was an out-and-out geekfest. People salivated over the merchandise stands, where every conceivable Star Trek action figure was on sale. Needless to say, the goods were snapped up faster than Warp 7. Also, the ratio of people wearing glasses to not wearing them was staggering; I'd say it was like 20:1. As a four-eyes myself, it was a sight to behold.
