Atlantis on tonight’s Attack of the Show

Stargate Atlantis will be featured on tonight’s installment of Attack of the Show (May 10, 2007), the sci-fi, video game, and tech geek’s daily news and entertainment show on the G4 cable network. The show airs at 7 p.m. Eastern, and will rerun at 11 p.m.

AOTS contributor Zach Selwyn, a fan of Stargate, recently recorded a rap song and music video about his desire to get on Stargate Atlantis as a special promotion for the show — and the show was only happy to accommodate the young cable star. Selwyn recently returned from the Vancouver, B.C. set of Atlantis, where he played “Scientist #2” in an upcoming fourth season episode.

“As much as I was hoping to be cast as a rival space cowboy who takes on the crew and suddenly becomes a series regular, I was more than excited to be SCIENTIST # 2,” Selwyn told G4’s The Feed. “It was a 4-line role but the crew and cast were so awesome that I had the time of my life … especially with some cast members in Vancouver after we wrapped.”

Atlantis co-star David Hewlett (“Rodney McKay”) joked on set that he should record his own white boy’s rap song in response to Selwyn, in an attempt to score an appearance on Attack of the Show. That vision of talent appeared this week at YouTube.

Fans who want to encourage the show’s producers to bring Hewlett onto the show might find some network contact info here.
