Andromeda co-star Lexa Doig has been cast in a recurring role on Stargate SG-1, actor Michael Shanks reportedly told fans at this weekend’s official Stargate convention in Dallas, Texas. Fans returning from the event report that Doig’s character will be connected to General Hank Landry, the new series regular played by actor Beau Bridges, according to Shanks.
According to unconfirmed news at fan site LexaDoig.org, her character will be Stargate Command’s new chief medical officer and the daughter of General Landry. GateWorld will confirm details about the character when information becomes available.
The 31-year-old actress hails from Toronto and has also appeared on such series as Earth: Final Conflict and The Chris Isaak Show, and in films such as “TekWar,” “Jason X,” and “Human Cargo.”
Shanks, who is Doig’s real-life husband, assured fans that he was not involved in the actress’s being cast. The two met when Shanks guest starred on Andromeda in the show’s first season, playing an android with whom Doig’s character fell in love.
