Broadway's Best Exiting to TV, Come Back Soon
There seems to be an exodus of top Broadway talent to films and TV.
Now there's nothing wrong with stage actors trying to expand their careers and art in movies and TV. It's just that we're a LITTLE SENSITIVE that film and TV actors seem to be glomming onto a slew of great stage roles on Broadway and we couldn't help but notice that a lot of stage talent is heading West
And someone put in comment section…
Don't forget about Brian J. Smith, the unknown Julliard grad who was hailed as a great discovery in "Come Back Little Sheba" several seasons ago and subsequently followed that up with a very good leading performance off Broadway at the Second Stage Theater in "Good Boys and True." He's now the young lead (Lt. Scott) on Syfy's "Stargate: Universe" mixing it up with the likes of Robert Carlyle, Ming-Na and Lou Diamond Phillips.

Eli Gets A 'Universe' Flashback
Get a sneak peek at this week's episode of 'Stargate; Universe' on Syfy
They always say that if you live in your mom's basement, you'll never get the girl.
That might have been true for Eli (David Blue) from "Stargate : Universe," but once you end up traveling to different galaxies, apparently you become a chick magnet.

David Blue Interview

EXCERPT: Let me just say upfront that I was not a Stargate fan going into Universe and if Eli were not there for me to relate to, and to sort of ease me into it, I probably wouldn't have gotten into the show. Does Eli continue to be this 'Gateway' character as we get deeper into SGU?.
Absolutely. First of all, thank you for the compliment because that's exactly what we were going for. My parents and my brothers weren't really big sci-fi fans, so any time I look at the episode, I look at it as a litmus test because they are the first people to call me, literally within seconds after an episode airs, and ask me questions. If they can understand it, I feel like that's what's going to suck everybody in, and what we want to do is expend the audience to the non-sci-fi fans and have everyone be part of it.
It's important to me, the way Brad and Robert first talked to me about the character of Eli, to always look at things from a fresh perspective. This is nothing against the actors, but in Atlantis, they kind of became superheroes. They got so used to gates opening, wormholes, puddles, and all of that, that anytime it happened it was like oh, okay, another day at work. It made sense for their characters, but for me, Eli not being part of this world and always hoping that it exists, it's always with fresh eyes and excitement that he sees this, and that happens to all of these new things we discover this season: planets, technologies, people, and relationships on the ship. It's always new to him and it is most definitely written that way. I make a point to try to continue it that way, the way I play it as well.
