Fitness tips from a beautiful TV show starlet

By CARY CASTAGNA, Edmonton Sun

Last Updated: December 6, 2010



Sci-fi starlet Julia Benson has a perfect workout partner. Almost.

He’s always ready to exercise and he never complains during particularly grueling training sessions.

But he only does cardio.

He is, of course, a 3½-year-old chocolate lab.

“He definitely keeps me active,” the Winnipeg-born actress says in a phone interview from her Vancouver home.

“We run a lot, which is what I love doing the most for exercise. We’ll go down and run at the beach (Spanish Banks). Or we’ll do some hikes. There’s tons of amazing trails around here.”

Her cardio partner’s name is Bauer.

As in the company that makes hockey gear?

“Yeah … or Jack Bauer from 24,” she laughs.

Most days, their outdoor treks last about 45 minutes.

Benson, aka Lt. Vanessa James on science fiction TV show Stargate Universe, also likes to go inline skating in the summer “when it’s not raining in Vancouver...”

Stargate Universe Writers' Room - Joe Mallozzi

One thing you can always count on when visiting the Stargate production offices in Burnaby, British Columbia, is a warm welcome by everyone who works there, including Stargate Universe’s Joe Mallozzi. Today is no exception. At the time of this interview (early July) the executive producer/writer was just starting work on his third and final script for the show’s second season. Prior to this, the Universe cast and crew had already completed filming two earlier season two stories penned by Mallozzi, the first one being Awakening.

“This episode is our heroes’ first encounter with a seed ship,” notes the executive producer. “We had kind of set up a premise that these seed ships were launched well in advance of Destiny. They possess the capability to manufacture Stargates, and we’ve named them seed ships because they ‘seed’ planets with these gates and then move on.

“Many, many, many years later, Destiny was sent out to follow the path laid out by these seed ships in order to gather information on the various worlds that, at the time the seed ships visited them, were deemed habitable or had the potential to eventually become habitable. When Destiny approaches one of these planets, it drops out of FTL [faster-than-light] drive and, if things check out OK, then the crew gets the green light to travel through the Stargate and explore the planet..."
