    New CLIFF SIMON (Ba'al) interview (Eclipse magazine)

    http://eclipsemagazine.com/modules/n...p?storyid=1662

    EXCERPT:


    Fans of 'Stargate SG-1' often cite the sixth season episode 'Abyss' among
    their favourites. In it, Jack O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) is captured by
    Ba'al, who tortures O'Neill for information left behind by a Tok'ra implant.
    Except, for most of the shooting, Simon was actually torturing a stand-in.

    "It was very difficult, also because I was pretty new in the show and I hadn’
    t worked with Rick [Richard Dean Anderson] before. Rick had to get out of town
    - I think he was doing a ‘Discovery’ show or one of those kind of things. So
    I worked with him for one day only and the rest of the time I worked with a
    stand-in. It’s very very hard because as an actor you are reacting the whole
    time, and to get a guy standing there - he looks like Rick, he’s a great guy,
    but he’s reading off a script. It took about two weeks to shoot that episode
    because there were a lot of special effects. But yeah, ninety percent of it was with the stand-in."
