Stargate Birthday – Jamie Ray Newman

A big birthday hug (don’t I wish) to Jamie Ray Newman who was born April 2nd 1978. She had a way too short recurring role in Stargate Atlantis playing Lt Laura Cadman a nemesis if you will to Rodney McKay. She is an exceptionally beautiful woman who has carved out a solid niche in both drama and genre productions.

Notable roles…

• Eureka
• Grimm
• Castle
• NCIS
• Eastwick

Marina Sirtis, Happy Birthday

It’s Marina Sirtis Birthday today (March 29) and while she is perhaps the face of TNG she gets her mention on The Gatecast for her portrayal of Svetlana Markov in the SG1 episode “Watergate” complete with appropriate accent.
While TNG played up her curves the Stargate producers put her in a furry parker.

Welcome to Marina Sirtis, The Official Site.

Stargate Birthdays (March 20th)

March 20th Birthdays kick off with the one and only John de Lancie who played the villainous Colonel Frank Simmons in SG1 but alas was better known for playing “Q” in TNG which we don’t hold against him, great performances in both roles.  IMDB

Also sharing birthdays today are Louis Chirillo (Bert Simmons SG1 Citizen Joe), Nicholas Harrison (SG1), Ingrid Kavelaars (Major Erin Gant SG1) and Georgia Craig (Sabrina Gosling SG1).

Stargate Birthdays (19th March)

A very happy birthday to Connor Trinneer  who is probably best known for his role as ” Trip” on Enterprise but he also played a major part in Stargate Atlantis as the Wraith Michael who turned out to be a pretty good villain and certainly a match for the Atlantians.

IMDB

Also on the 19th Kelly Vint celebrates her birth, maybe not a familiar name but way back in Stargate the movie she played the very young Catherine Langford a character who appeared in SG1 years later.
