Because maybe some day they will be again. And we need to start the trend of new threads.

No really, its because I need to talk about this again:



This is the most surreal foretelling of a TV show I've ever seen.

Christopher Judge on MacGyver.  But wait, that is not all; and I'm not even talking about the Fade and the Mullet.

MacGyver is channeling Sam and teaching physics.

MacGyver is channeling Daniel and talking about ancient greeks.

There is a chalk drawing on the board with a guy dressed in the costumes of early aliens SG-1 encountered.

MacGyver has also drawn a lever system that allows him to move planets, I guess.

Is it possible that MacGyver used a stick of gum to split himself and Daniel, Sam, and Jack are all aspects of MacGyver's personality?

He certainly wasn't using that stick of gum to get off the glacier in Solitudes

That's because when only two thirds of MacGyver is present, you need a stick of gum and a paper clip. Daniel had the paper clip.

I really hated all the MacGyver references on the show. I think it was because Sam got stuck with all of them and they were always so stupid. Sam had all the truly deplorably stupid lines in season 1.

I've been watching Saving Hope (starring Michael Shanks).  It started off pretty blah, and I stuck it out strictly for my Daniel.  It's gotten pretty good though.

In one scene, which was supposed to be powerful and moving, I was shaking my head.  Charlie (Shanks) was remembering a time as a child when he witnessed the tragic and violent deaths of both his parents.  This one was a car accident, but I kept thinking about the Jacksons, standing under the giant heavy cover stone they were moving.  Darwin at work, right there!

Right?  But I also think that what we saw in The Game was what Daniel remembered, vs. what really happened.  That or the Jacksons were dumb enough to die ironing in the bathtub, what with their stellar survival skills.  

Also, Cliff Simon was on The Americans as an agent in the Mossad.   Really, really bad accent, but it was intentional.

Technically this isn't another role that a cast member is in but one I wish they were in. I have an irrationally strong desire for Michael Shanks to be the narrator of Ancient Aliens.  Everytime I watch the show I'm disappointed when I don't hear his voice.

I love(d) Saving Hope (because I will watch MS in anything, anytime) and am livid at NBC for pulling it off the air in the States and for the producers not making it available via other methods. I need me some Michael Shanks!

 

That prank clip cracks me up every single time I watch it. I wish RDAs face was clearer to see his reaction. I loved the MacGyver meta, especially in 200 with the Team America (fuck yeah!) puppets. I read that Sam was supposed to hum the MacGyver theme in the elevator during one of the "Pete" episodes but couldn't get it right.

Does anyone remember The Outer Limit, it had Michael Shanks,Teryl Rothery, Don Davis, Amanda Tapping, Garwin Sanford, etc. (it even had similar stories, and directors to SG-1)?

And here is a clip from an episode Michael Shanks was in:

Aha!  I'm not insane.  Thanks

Okay then that great because I kind of thought it was some kind of gag when I saw it.

Then again, didn't Shanks and Doing appeared in an action movie (I think it had Stone Cold Steve Austin in it) where Shanks played a Russian mob guy and Doing playing a LA SWAT team member? It's been a while but I remember renting it from Netflix a few years ago and thinking that this movie was a). crazy and b) really not that great.

As with TV, I don't remember seeing anyone (except for Amanda Tapping on Sanctuary, David Hewlett/RDA/Michael Shanks guest staring on SGU, Smith on Eureka, Teri Rothery on Caprica, and Joe Flanagan guest staring in WH13) on any TV shows? Has anyone see anyone from the Stargate Franchised on TV, playing an actual large and regular role? I do know that Jason Momoa stared in Game of Thrones (and the Conan Remake) but I haven't watched them (just yet)?

Yeah, I saw it. Entertaining once, and that was enough. I saw the Jason Momoa Conan too. Terrible. Completely shit. Stay away. I say that as a ffan of both the first Arnie movie and the original stories.

I'm going to re-ask my question here about the Xfinity commercial with the guy on the white horse very much like a "Hobbit" Wizard.  Does anyone else think that could be Tony Amendola?

Shanks had a stint on Burn Notice

Does anyone know of a legal way to watch Saving Hope season 2 state-side? I can't find it on Hulu or Hulu Plus and Amazon only has season 1.

Yeah, I remember now, he played 'Victor' from the Company and Tricia Helfer was his boss. I think that his character teamed up with Michael to kill Helfer's character and in the end, ended up dead.

Dude. that is totally Tony Amendola! He's got some acne scarring and you can actually catch a tiny bit of that on his right cheek.  

Good for him! I bet that gig plays well and it's good to be a working actor!

Then he is probably wearing blue contacts since he has brown eyes:

Thanks, TVSpectator, I think pretty clearly, even if by some "turns out he has a clone, and a twin, and a cousin who could pass for him, plus, a freakish Tale of Two Cities resemblance to yet another fellow" other person, that person is wearing contacts because those eyes in that commercial?  Are like anime eyes anyway, with disproportionate pupils and too much iris and...

Those aren't anyone's real eyes.  I sincerely hope, otherwise, wow do they need an eye doctor.

Yeah, it's just that I don't want to go out and blurt that it's definitely him, without actual casting conformations, but it probably is him. I do wish there was a place where you can look up which actors have aired in commercials. Although, I would guess that some (or maybe most) actors would rather forget what commercials they have done, especially if it's truly embarrassing/horrifying to do and to be associate with the product.

Thanks everyone!  And a special thanks to TVSpectator for finding a link to the commercial!

I thought it might be him based on his voice and how he held himself. It is great to hear that others think that it him too.

I was rewatching Flash Forward a couple of years back (not in any order, I just saw episodes available and went on a nostalgia trip) and ran across this... it definitely gave me pause, lol:

I'm watching the old 70s show Starsky and Hutch and a season 1 episode had a vaguely familiar face so I went to the trusty IMDb to see why.  The cocaine dealer/snitch turned murder victim was played by George Dzundza aka Anubis!   Cognitive dissonance!  Anubis with long hair and bell bottoms was jarring. lol

Ben Browder is in Bad Kids Go To Hell. I tried to watch it on Hulu Plus, I really, really tried because my love for BB really knows no end. But it had bugs in it and I hate bugs. I guess that's where my love for BB loses.

 

From the little I saw he did the best he could with some terrible material.

Hey there, Little Doc Sighting. Teryl Rothery (Janet Fraser) apparently has a role on Cedar Cover, a series I've personally been catching on Netflix, but that is normally on The Hallmark channel. She looks like a million damn dollars, by the way. Seriously, a super cute haircut and she looks absurdly fit. Plus, she gets one of the better wardrobes on the show and rocks it.

I'm not going to lie, it's not a good show. It's beautiful to look at though and it's sort of sweet and gentle. Probably perfect for something to watch when you're nursing a migraine (I've been watching it while working out and I have to admit, it's not making the grade for that) . It's the most scenic show I have ever seen, but it stars Andie McDowell (and the acting talents or lack thereof she sports) .

Teryl is great though, and plays the best character. She's in it a fair amount. In one of the weirder casting choices I've ever seen, they also hired the young woman who played Chloe on SGU to play Grace's (that's Teryl's character) daughter. Apparently they had her dye her hair a sort of red, that mostly looks orange (heaven help her) , maybe because she would have been better suited to playing McDowell's daughter? I'm not sure, but whereas Chloe-actress could very believably play Andie McDowell's daughter, she looks a tad odd playing Teryl's daughter. I'd never noticed that Chloe was about a mile tall, but it really stands out in the role.

Plus, she made the classic actor mistake of getting a wee bit too thin, which makes her look even taller. Teryl looks great Elyse has looked better (although she is a beautiful young woman regardless, she doesn't suit the hair color and she looks rather angular at present).

So since it is filmed in Vancouver, it has a fair number of Stargate actors in it and it really is harmless and sweet (plus, beautiful) , but I can't say I really recommend it.

"Cedar Cover" is like "Stargate: Afterlife" because it seems to be populated with SG characters who bought it in the line of duty. There's lots of Teryl -- which makes everything else bearable, IMO -- but we've also Sheriff Chekhov, Defense Attorney Grodin (SG:A) and now Stalker!Narim ... Chloe died (temporarily) in an SG:U episode, so I guess she fits in there, too.

Tony Amendola is in Fallout 4, a very prominent character you encounter in the main quest.

Spoiler

Father/Shaun.

The problem is, he speaks in very slow and measured tones, using a rather flat American accent instead of his natural voice. Annoying character, too. The game could have been much improved if they'd let him be Bra'tac.

Even when SG-1 cast members appear in other shows it's still All About The Hair. In S3:9 of Sanctuary, Jimmy (Michael Shanks) reunites with Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) and the first thing out of his mouth is a compliment on how much he likes the way she's doing her hair (long and brunette). Score on SG-1 shout-out for the writers.

But Amanda Tapping is British. Why did her accent bug? I'll admit that the green-screen work is an acquired taste (although it looks more persuasive in Blu-Ray, IMO). Personally I'm disappointed that the show ran out of money just after Helen Magnus came out as bisexual. And that the girl-kissing didn't involve Teryl Rothery as the party of the second part. And no more Amanda Tapping in leather on my TV set. Thank God we have the DVDs to preserve all that hotness.

She was born in Britain but moved at three to Canada.  She doesn't have a natural British accent and boy could I tell.

I was watching it last season and she popped up. Honestly she took me out of the show. I couldn't see her as anything else but Amanda Tapping.

 

I love Sanctuary. It is defiantly a show that was cancelled too soon.

I wonder if our Netflix subscription would cover Travelers? Ms. Tapping is worth following anywhere (except Supernatural, which I can't bring myself to watch). Technically, Sanctuary wasn't canceled; the investment fund that was bankrolling the show couldn't come up with the needed capital in time for a fifth season. (Or so the story goes.) We're binge-watching it right now and I dread we will be left dangling from an S4 cliff-hanger that will never be resolved.

Isn 't Travelers a Netflix original, so you could access it with your Netflix account (via streaming)?

Speaking of cast members in other roles, Cedar Cove was practically a retirement home for SG-1 veterans. In addition to second-lead Teryl Rothery, it had Garry Chalk (Col. Chekhov), Garwin Sanford (Narim) and Craig Veroni (Dr. Grodin, Stargate Atlantis). Since everyone mentioned bought the farm at some point in their Stargate tenure, it was like Stargate: DOA. Directors Martin Wood and Andy Mikita also dropped anchor there, although it wasn't what you'd call a visually creative show. (Wood, in particular, must have been bored stiff after SG-1, SG:A and Sanctuary.)
