Paul McGillion

Sharing the 5th of January as their birthdate is Paul McGillion who starred on Stargate Atlantis as Dr Carson Beckett and continued in the tradition of the franchise in bringing us well respected Doctors and in Scifi in general. His performance helped make Beckett a leading role in the show thanks to the positive fan response from the pilot.

Many happy returns Paul.

Peter Williams

The Gatecast wishes Peter Williams a very happy Birthday for the 31st. Peter as you know played Apophis in the SG1 pilot Children of the Gods and thus became only the first Goa’uld on the TV show and only second of his species in the franchise, he went on to guest star in 20 episodes of SG1. Along with the writers Peter helped to shape the style, flamboyance and arrogance of the system lords and truly created a guy we loved to hate.

Best wishes to all our listeners and the fans that made

Stargate SG1, Atlantis and Universe possible which

in turn spawned us.

For 2012 we will be continuing season 6 of SG1 and then going

straight into season 7 which we should complete and then things will get interesting.

Michael Shanks

Happy Birthday to Michael Shanks, we watched the actor and his character grow for well over a decade and branch out into other genres and productions. Guest roles on Sanctuary, Andromeda, Smallville, Burn Notice plus many a scifi/fantasy feature sealed Michaels place in our part of the world.

Theatrical Stargate Figures

Daniel (of the Dan&Gina podcast) a long time listener and guest host of our show found these absolutely brilliant Stargate figures in a local junk shop. Not only was I surprised the movie actually had a toy line but good ol’ Kawalsky got himself immortalised in plastic:)
