“Ben Browder is a real pro, and everyone seems to be discovering prior connections to each other,” Shanks said of his new co-star, who plays Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell. “Beau Bridges, Lou Gosset, Claudia Black — she’s in the first six episodes. And they’re already talking about stuff I can’t talk enough about yet. And we’ll be seeing my wife [Andromeda‘s Lexa Doig].”
What would Shanks like to see for his character this year? The actor is decidedly low-key about it. “I wouldn’t have anything happen that hasn’t happened already to this point,” he said. “I don’t want to go anywhere strange or off with the character. He’s a little child of the universe. He’s this little orphan boy in the middle of this big universe. He’s looking to the answers to his existence. He’s kind of never active, so much as reactive.
“The more adventure and exploring we do, the better for him. I’m enjoying everything as long as we keep going through that gate.”
“I don’t think there’s tons of challenges for him personally,” Shanks joked, “except that he is faced with Claudia Black.”
