Anderson's role in Season Nine undecided
WEDNESDAY - DECEMBER 22, 2004
Stargate SG-1 star Richard Dean Anderson may not be in Season Nine at all, director Peter DeLuise told fans at the recent German City Con -- but whatever his level of participation, the director will make SG-1 the best show he can.
"It is unfortunate but he may not be in Season Nine at all," DeLuise said. "He may only be in part of Season Nine. Whichever the case may be, I am going to use as much of my skill to make it the best show that I can under the conditions that are presented to me.
"If Amanda [Tapping, 'Samantha Carter'] is pregnant and can only be in half of Season Nine, so be it. She is now pregnant -- this is something that has changed in her life. So I understand this, I have a son of my own. This is something that has changed in my life. (He is 8 months old today.)"
Anderson has continued to reduce his time commitments to the show since Season Six, so that he can spend more time with his young daughter in California. Stargate is filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"The fact is that Richard has continued to stay around," DeLuise said. "I agree he is not in it as much, but we tried as hard as we can to make the best show that we can under the conditions that have been presented to us."
Negotiations with Anderson are still underway, but it is unlikely that he will return as a full-time cast member in Season Nine. But his character will continue to play an important role in the Stargate universe, according to executive producer Robert C. Cooper (story).
The new season begins filming in March for a summer premiere on The SCI FI Channel.
