GATEWORLD: Great Scott!

Monday - January 9, 2012
by Chad Colvin


It’s been the better part of two years now since the last time GateWorld had a full sit-down with Stargate Universe actor Brian J. Smith — in fact, Season Two hadn’t even begun to air yet. Since then, the series (and for the time being, the franchise) was placed in mothballs and the cast has moved on to other projects. And with multiple projects that have aired both during SGU‘s final season run and significantly after, Smith has been one of the busiest.

GateWorld recently had the chance to catch up extensively with the actor, when Smith was gracious enough to burn up the phone lines with us on the eve of his thirtieth birthday. In this super-sized chat, Brian J. Smith talks to GateWorld about and deconstructs the biggest character moments in Season Two for Matthew Scott, explains the joys of shooting on location and his love for the Dallas Cowboys, talks about why he almost didn’t take his latest network television role, and much more!

GateWorld’s interview with Brian J. Smith runs just over 48 minutes. Listen online at your leisure, download it to your MP3 player, or subscribe now to the iTunes Podcast! The full interview is also transcribed [at the link above].

Keeping it Together

Thursday - December 9, 2010
by David Read

It is that time of year again. Time to be with loved ones, celebrate the holidays, and hold our breath about the news of a renewal or cancellation.

GateWorld had the pleasure of spending a little of that time with Patrick Gilmore, better known in Universe as Destiny scientist “Dale Volker”. In our first interview with this fine actor, we discuss the character he plays and the various dynamics between the Destineers, from ever-changing allegiances to the struggle to survive. We take the temperature of the industry and the difficulty of finding work, and discuss the reward of sinking your teeth into a project blessed with the right amount of talent.

Gilmore also takes time to tell us about “Trennan,” his character from the steampunk SyFy Web series, Riese. All ten episodes are available for viewing on SyFy.com now!

GateWorld’s interview with Patrick Gilmore runs over 36 minutes and is available in audio for your easy listening. It is also transcribed [at link above].

Duty and Honor

SGU actor Lou Diamond Phillips talks about his lengthy career and what's really going on in the head of Colonel Telford.

Wednesday - November 17, 2010
by Chad Colvin



Of the entire cast of Stargate Universe, perhaps no cast member has more long-term name and face recognition then actor Lou Diamond Phillips. Phillips, who portrays “Colonel David Telford” on the series, has maintained a major presence in the Hollywood industry for over 25 years after shooting to stardom with a string of theatrical blockbusters in the late 1980′s. It’s a presence he continues to finesse and tinker with now, even as he is finishing up work on production of the last of the episodes for Season Two of SGU.

GateWorld caught up with Phillips over the phone earlier this month while the actor was enjoying some downtime with his family, and he was gracious enough to chat extendedly about his career — both past and present. In our discussion, he discusses his big break, his most well-known movies, both seasons of SGU, what makes Telford tick, the love of a card game, and much more!

GateWorld’s interview with Lou Diamond Phillips runs almost 40 minutes and is available in audio for your easy listening. It is also transcribed [at link].
