Stargate Universe - Casting Call

[Falcon 304]

McKay is the one that always made sure that Sheppard knew when he was kirking. It would practically be a full time job on Stargate Universe as i can see atleast 4 of those characters kirking alot.

Also a alternate universe McKay could be interesting. A McKay which is just as smart as this universe McKay but maybe has a slightly different personallity.

No, that would be totally stupid. Besides, Hewlett is moving to the states and still has his movie and web series to work on.

[jelgate]

I just did some research, and here are the ages of the cast when they started...

(SG-1 1997)
Richard Dean Anderson - 47
Michael Shanks - 28
Amanda Tapping - 32
Christopher Judge - 33

(SGA 2004)

Joe Flanigan - 37
David Hewlett - 36
Torri Higginson - 35
Rachel Luttrell - 33
Rainbow Sun Francks - 25
Paul Mcgillion - 35

Does Don S. Davis not exist in your SG1?

I'm not bothered by the youngsters, but by the absence of oldies. Just one more over-35 would give the show an extra aspect. At the moment the old guy will only get to be 'dad' to the kids, but with another proper adult around they could be an equal to someone.

[Naonak]

Not sure but am I the only one who isnt bothered by the casting call? Just names to me and seems ok to me, depends more on the cast and how they act.

Nope, I'm with you. As long as they're well-written and acted, I don't really care how old they are, as long as it makes sense.

I think it is safe to say Don S Davis was over 25 when he came over to Atlantis. Yeah I forgot to add him, I just posted RDA to compare to the new cast member of SGU.

Suggestion for the new theme:

Spoiler:

Stargate Babies, we make our dreams come true
Stargate Babies, we'll do the same for you

Nash: When your world looks kinda weird and you wish that you weren't there
Carpenter: Just close your eyes and make believe and you can be anywhere

Nash: I like adventure
Carpenter: I like romance
Jon: I love great jokes
Psycho: Animal dance!!
Hitchcock: I've got my computer
Nash: I swing through the air
Jon: I play the piano
Nash: And I have blue hair
Hitchcock: Me, I invent things
Carpenter: Mee mee mee meee!

Young: Is everything all right in here?
All: Yes, Nanny.

Stargate Babies, we make our dreams come true
Stargate Babies, we'll do the same for you

Stargate Stargate Stargate Stargate
Babies Babies Babies Babies
Make dreams come true.

You hit the nail on the head of how I feel. I don't mind a couple of younger cast members actually don't mind at all. But we need some people in their 30's as well. To set a balance.

[Madeleine]

Balance isn't terribly important to me, but variety is. Another middle-aged person would be scope for a good deal more variety in the inter-personal relationships.

Still, this is just a casting call, it's not necessarily the only characters, there might be more.

[Pandora's_Box]

Old people are so last year.

It's all about duplicating Gossib Girl nowadays.

[iolanda]

No, that would be totally stupid. Besides, Hewlett is moving to the states and still has his movie and web series to work on.

Hewlett already lives in the States as far as I know (somewhere around Bellingham).

Well no dur, but this certainly doesn't help any hype/anticipation they could be building.

[dasNdanger]

To save this, they REALLY, REALLY need Todd. REALLY.

So that he can age them all by about 10 years or so that he can just do away with them all and we can start the casting process all over again?

The right way.

[iolanda]

I am really old and fragile (32) and I have to admit, that the best written show about a bunch of 20 year olds just does not interest me.
Maybe I should start knitting or start a hobby like collecting stamps.

Yeah, he can feed on all the cast under 25.
