MGM Profiles Kavan Smith

Normally I don't post all the stuff on Stargate Atlantis from MGM here, but wow, they profiled Kavan Smith - Major Lorne. Yes!!!

Here's a snippet. Rest at link above.

“Going way, way back, I was actually up for Michael Shanks’ role in the original series,” Smith explains, speaking, rather ironically, from a seat inside the disused Stargate SG-1 gateroom set. “So I knew some of the producers, and particularly Richard Dean Anderson’s partner Michael Greenburg. He was always looking for a way to get me on the show.”

Smith had a bit of a wait before that happened – seven years, in fact, until an episode of Stargate SG-1 entitled “Enemy Mine”, appeared which called for a geologist named… Evan Lorne.


Thank goodness they didn't go with the geologist role!

Amusing typo:

If Lorne was a tree, the actor thought he’d likely be an oak: solid, dependable, strong. If he was a dog, he’d have been a German Sheppard, and so on.
