Season 4 is killin' it out there!! I do believe we have had more action in the first 3 episodes of season 4 of Atlantis than any other season put together!! In addition to attempting to keep up with this demanding shooting schedule, I have also been putting together a lengthy fight sequence for the "Ark of Truth" Movie as well.....with the help of my team, of course.....alot of help!! It is true

Yes..........no entries on the old blog since the end of the season..........I have been spending alot of time with work outside of Stargate, and with my friends and family. The end of the shooting season was full of surprises, both on the set and off. Lots of fantastic stories and action to behold in the second half of the third season of Atlantis and some great action to discover on SG1. I only

Recently, a very popular personality passed on by a chance encounter with a stingray. Steve Irwin was on every TV screen, in every household in Canada that I can remember a few years back. When I was just recently in Australia, there he was on every screen again while Dan Payne and I were going through customs.........telling us what we can and can't bring into the country. The man was as close

I am getting comments and questions on this blog regarding Sateda, the episode with the fantastic action that aired last night, August 4th. Yes.....you seem to all agree with me now, SATEDA ROCKS!!! If you have questions about the episode, please log into ASK BAMBAM, and I will be more than happy to answer you. Really, anything about the episode is fair game now that it has aired.

Hi all!!! We just came back from a huge 5 day break from shooting..........before that things were heating up fast..........busy on set on SG1 with Mr. Deluise on "Memnto Mori".......shooting "The Return" with Brad Turner on Atlantis..........prepping "Phantoms" for Martin Wood as well. Although we have had some great action since, I still think "Sateda" takes the cake for style and action this

Today we played our first Atlantis vs. SG1 crew soccer game of the year. It was a beautiful day outside........warm, and sunny. This would mark the first time that we have played on an outdoor field......double the size that us hacks are used to! Between my lungs and my hip I didn't stand a chance. The teams were both full, Atlantis taking the lead almost immediately............yes....we ended up

Hi there all!! We are starting our Easter break today until Tuesday so that's...........let me see..........5 days off from set. We are still shooting "Real World" which heavily features Tori. The script is very smart, with alot of unexpected surprises.......I just signed a contract to appear at a convention in Austrailia in July.......15-17. Jason Momoa will be attending the con as well and we

This has nothing to do with the convention, but I do find myself debriefing a little everyday after the con in Vancouver..........my first one so it is still a strong memory........I took a look at an early cut of SATEDA today............OYAAAA. Coop is the man!! Martin Wood is currently prepping another gigantic episode for SG1 but everything regarding that is toptoptop secret so..........sorry!

Thanx to everyone for showing up at the stunt show we put on at the Vancouver convention..............it went off without a hitch!! Except for Trevor Jones and his nose! You all seemed happy and entertained during the performance and that was all I could ask for. After the signing session, (wow, flashbulbs, I'm still blind) I went over to the Gateworld dinner at TGI Fridays to meet you all and

Yes everyone...........this has been my mantra for weeks now........SATEDA.....SATEDA.....SATEDA.....even when I am not on set with Robert at the helm, I'm wondering around the production office muttering...SATEDA.......This episode is like nothing that has ever been done on SG1 or ATLANTIS...ever.....ever....never.....before. Unreal. The amount of thought and effort that has gone into this show

Hello all...........sorry it has been awhile.....not as long as Ivon, I know....but awhile. I was very busy with the prep for the onset of the new season, and in the midst of moving back to downtown Vancouver. My internet was down for most of this time, so it made logging on here very difficult. I trust that you all are well as I am!! I am stoked to tell you that the new season of Atlantis is

Well folks..............as you know, we are coming back for seasons 3 and 10! I promise you now that I will make the strongest effort possible to ensure the quality of the action on the show. I can also promise you that I have spoken with Ivon, and he will be updating his blog soon! I am on the way to train now so I must go. Sorry for the short entry but it had to be done. Ciao!

I spent the holidays with family and friends in Victoria, Canada............and Vancouver, Canada.

Well..........I think Europe is done with me. It's time for me to start heading home. The shooting on Eragon is now wrapped, and only the production office in Budapest remains......I have seen sooooooo much since I arrived on October 8th, I can't even begin to explain the experiences that our team, and I as an individual have been through. This was one of those few times in life that will leave

Hey there peeps!! Sorry it took me sooooooo long to let you know what is goin on but........there is no internet in my hotel....I'm in Trevor Jones hotel room in the Hotel Aqua, in a little town outside of Budapest. You may remember Trevor from the episode, "DUETS". Jason flipped him backwards. Anyway......yes, as many of you have asked, I am working on the movie "ERAGON".............swords,

Hi there all................I don't know how to say this, but................I'm wrapped on the show and leaving the country in search of work abroad! I will be in Budapest, Hungary........and Vienna, Austria. There is a very large production going on there, very much "Lord of the Rings" like. I may also end up in Montreal working on the feature, "Three Hundred". I don't know if I can work the

Just started the week with prep for "Allies". Nope, can't say anything about that. At the end of the day, as usual, I went for a long training session at Franco's Kickboxing. 3 out of 4 fighters, won their fights last Friday night. All the wins were by KO in the first round!! Yes, team Franco rocks! The opponents were tough ones as well. It is nice to see people that you train and spar with

What a busy week...............phew! I just walked in the door after a day full of meetings and a visit to the chiropractor..................torture. This dude really knows how to lay the pain on a man. This week we finished up shooting the "Michael" episode, and started into "The Long Goodbye". I would like to extend my congrats to Connor Trinnear, our "Michael", and his wife. The baby is due

UFC night last night..................some great match ups for sure..................I'm not gonna get into details because if you saw it, you know! Wow, 6 am call time tomorrow. Yes sir, we start our set day at 6 in the morning. That is one hour earlier than we usually start, by the way. First thing up in the day, you guessed it, a fight scene. Who fights at 6 am? Yes, you guessed correctly

Bruises. My body is covered in them. When I've been busy as a stunt performer in the past, I judge how hard I worked that week by the number of bruises on my body. Now, I seem to get them in training more so then at work. The strange thing is I can name every technique that made contact and is responsible for a bruise. There is the jump-spinning back kick from Jason Fenton. There is the side knee

Chris Sayour update.............still stable condition but in ICU. I would like to thank all of you that have been sending me get well messages for him since the accident. I just arrived home from the set of another production currently shooting in Vancouver, "Dungeon Siege". Lots of swordplay and magic to be had on this one. I was just hanging around, playing with sharp objects, and fighting
