Stargate Universe casting sides (slightly revised)

Found some updated, minorly, casting sides for Stargate Universe. Under the cut...

NEW STUFF IN COLORED TEXT

 

Colonel Everett Young. 40’s handsome, capable, former SG team leader. Like the Jack O’Neill of ten years ago, but Young’s edges have tended to sharpen over time. He requested permission to serve the remainder of his commission on Earth upon marrying his wife, Hailey, two years ago, but for now he’s temporary commander of a secret off world base. The loss of two members of his team several years ago has taught him never to take anything for granted, and be prepared for anything. He stays on top of his team so they stay alive. STAR NAMES ONLY.

 

Series Regular; Tamara Johanson.Jon: 20-25, all ethnicities (Asian Preferably). SGC Field medic, Captain grade. Off world experience. Beautiful, tough, smart, capable. Paramedic level training. Able to triage serious injury. Modest background. Dreamed of being a doctor but couldn’t afford medical school and the Air Force was her best option. She ends up being the most medically inclined person on the ship but is overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge and experience treating seriously wounded and ill patients. She also lacks the medicine and supplies and has to make do.

Cloe
Series Regular; Chloe Carpenter.: 20 ish. Stunning and sexy. Daughter of a U.S. Senator. Silver spoon upbringing and a little spoiled but not stupid either. Politically and socially savvy. Dreams of following in her father’s footsteps but for now she’s a bit of a party girl in her first year at an Ivy League school. Her father’s tragic death and the dire circumstances of being trapped on a spaceship seriously tests her character.

 

Series Regular; Eli Hitchcock.: 20-25. Total slacker. Utter genius. Mathematics, computers, anything he puts his mind to. Acerbic sense of humor. A social outcast. Comes from a broken home. Lacks confidence because his true intelligence has never really been recognized like Matt Damon’s character from Good Will Hunting with a little Jack Black thrown in.

 

Series Regular; Lt. Jared Nash.: 20-25, all ethnicities. Junior SGC team member. Officer material but green and rough around the edges. Every teenage girl’s fantasy. Like a college quarterback thrown into his first pro game, he is thrust into the role of leader well before he’s ready for the responsibility and must learn to take command, earn respect through action, and manage the diverse personalities on the ship to keep everyone alive. Like Jason Bourne, he is skilled and well-trained but however he is mentally unprepared for the urgency of the situation.

 

Series Regular; Ron ’Psycho’ Stasiak.: 20, all ethnicities. Marine. Big, strong, silent. You want him on your side. You don’t want him mad at you. Lacks control over his temper in non combat situations. His emotional expression ranges from sarcasm to anger. His past is a mystery but it’s clear something dark formed the hard shell around him. Yet, there must also be some moral center because otherwise he’d kill everyone around him. Think Eric Bana’s character – ‘Hoot’ - in Blackhawk Down. Adam Baldwin at 20 could play him.Series Regular.

-----------------------------

Anyway, just a few little changes (which turned up in green for new stuff and red for deleted) that were made (found it at a casting site) - I am beginning to think Colonel Young is gonna DIE (ala Sumner) since Lt. Nash is 'thrust into the role of leader') Have I seen this plot before? Nah.... not going to gripe about this as I think we basically got it out of our system. Maybe a little mocking... ;)

Yeah, I noticed that, but then I think I was too busy snarking at her acting like a school teacher than a doctor while flash-frozen guy lay on the floor for most of the episode...

Maybe you should write a nice long letter to TPTB, but post it in the web ;)

Given her supposed accelerated pace of learning to be head of medicine so young, I'd assumed she meant a six year undergrad/med school program. Two years undergrad, then medical school. They had it at my uni when I was young (though I think they eventually switched to a 7 year program because of too much burnout).
