 
GW: Do you personally believe that either character is evil per se? Or do you believe in their mind sets there were justifications for their actions?
DP: No. Because both of them had very bad childhoods. They were orphans. And the fact is, in both instances, their mothers were quite mean to them. Of course they didn't have fathers, so they had a certain problem in that respect. And that's one of the reasons why they both had a lot of problems with women. They weren't able to deal with this. That's the thing. They were into other aliens, other life forms. But we won't go there, because this is not for the Internet. It's perhaps for a story book or someone's insane sense of reality like my own.
" Together Nub and Sokar, they would have decimated the Ori. That's what people don't realize. "

GW: [Laughter] Did you watch the series in the later years?
DP: No, absolutely not. I think the show sucks. [Laughter] I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding!
GW: [Laughter] That's getting out of hand!
DP: I'm just kidding. But you did kill me off, so whatever. I'm just kidding.
GW: [Laughter] How do you think either character, had they survived, would have reacted to the Ori, which was the threat that came after the Goa'uld in the later seasons?
DP: Together Nub and Sokar, they would have decimated the Ori. That's what people don't realize. Those two boys together, pffft, it's unbelievable. They would have taken over prime-time TV. If that would have happened, they'd have Stargate Three and Four right now. SG-1, 2, 3, 4. Nubis and Sokie. [Laughter]
GW: Since your time on SG-1, what other projects have you completed or are you currently working on?
DP: So numerous to mention that I'll probably bore you. Or more importantly, bore myself. One thing I can't stand is an actor who constantly talks about himself. OK, so let's talk about 20 projects I've been working on.
GW: [Laughter] What's current?
DP: Right now actually I'm working on a couple of treatments for some films. A lot of actors do writing, but very few actually sell the treatments and sell the scripts. I'm one of the very few that actually sells them. As well as a used car or a house here and there. But to make things a little bit more ridiculous than they are, I've been working on a number of things. But if I told you I'd have to kill you.

Anubis meets his end in "Lost City" ... or does he? |
GW: [Laughter] Top secret. Do you consider yourself a fan of Stargate?
DP: Oh, God. [Laughter]
GW: Some of these questions are …
DP: Yes. To be honest, I haven't really watched so much of it now that I'm not associated with the show. I think that, to be perfectly honest, which is kind of difficult for me, I think it was a show that kind of set the standard for sci-fi.
GW: Finally, if you could send a personal message to fans, what would you say?
DP: Vive la France! Just kidding. [Laughter] May you live long and prosperous. No, that's nonsense anyway. Personally, because I've been an actor who's been involved in Stargate and other scifi programs, I appreciate the support. It's been a pleasure. I've had a wonderful time actually meeting a lot of wonderful fans. I'm grateful for being a part of Stargate and et cetera, et cetera.
GW: And we know we've enjoyed watching you through the years.
DP: Now you're bull****ing.
GW: I am not! [Laughter]
