Robert Carlyle on Stargate Universe, Take Two

[wraithfodder]

Hmm, yanked this off Mallozzi's blog tonight (12/15/2008) ... "As some of you may have heard, the wonderfully talented Robert Carlyle has signed on to join the crew of the Destiny in the upcoming Stargate: Universe series. The award-winning actor - Begbie from Trainspotting to some, Hamish Macbeth to others - will be playing the role of Dr. David Rush, the ship’s brilliant Machiavellian scientist. I see a lot of myself in Rush and, next to yours truly of course, I can’t imagine anyone better for the part. Contrary to initial reports, the Rush character is not the leader of the unplanned expedition. That honor falls to Colonel Everett Young. For now. But things could have a way of changing on board a ship manned by a disparate group with very different agendas…

hmm, hmmm, uh....

Somehow a character which is a lot of Joe Mallozzi DOES NOT inspire me to watch..

Honestly, how hard is it to come up with NEW character personalities? They make it seem like SG can ONLY be SG with those same 4-6 personalities. People DO get bored of watching the SAME thing over and over, especially when it's suppose to be a NEW series.

Honestly, there is probably a formula they use at Bridge Studios in which they say 'we have xxx characters, who must fall into these four categories, because that is what the viewing audience wants." Time will tell if it will work.
