{random question}
I was just wondering how big the stunt department is on both shows? Are there any problems having to schedule around one another if there is a clash for resources/personnel etc?

Thanks

I got a question, I find it kind of weird how you have stunt doubled for Bra'tac, he looks nothing like you, at least thats my opinion.

The stunt department on both shows consists of myself on Atlantis, all inclusive.......and.....Dan Shea on SG1 with myself as the fight coordinator only on episodes that require major fight choreography. Sometimes we are spread a bit thin but we seem to manage everything in the end.

That is more of a comment than a question.......but...........it is true..........I have stunt doubled for Bra'tac far more often than any other character on either series. It is true..........I look nothing like Tony, the actor. I am approx. 3-4 inches taller, I have very little or no facial hair, and my hairline is completely different. For whatever reason, the original stunt coordinator, Scott Ateah asked me to double him.......Dan Shea kept up the tradition, pending my availability. Peter Deluise requested me on more then one instance. It is true.....you can't tell the difference when you watch the episodes I worked on. The hair, make-up, and costume departments are amazing at their jobs.

I have thought of that many times, of course, but our writing staff know what they are doing and don't need my help...........that is for sure........I will stick to stunts!!

Well, you never know--sometimes another perspective can give someone a good jumping off point. But you do a great job on the stunt work.

Ok, I have a strange question,

If you could be in one profession other than the one you are in now which would it be? (something you haven't tried before)

[LadyBozi]

I got a question too. =] I'm not sure if it has been asked before or not. But Teyla and Ronon had some great fight sceens in Season2. Are there any in season 3 between the two of them?

Hey there. I'm new to this thread. It's great that Stargate cast and crew members are wiling to spend some of their time with us, many thanks to you all. My question is (if it already hasn't been asked) How much time does it take to shoot a fighting scene and how do you go about filming it. Is it all in one shot or bit by bit and you assemble it all together in the end.

Thanks again.

Yes............that has been asked before.....for sure.......the answer is too long to write here again, but.....check out the special features on the season 2 DVD collection and your questions will be answered more than in full. There is a section just on stunts that says it all, and shows it all. Thanx!!
