It is a colossal understatement to say that I will always treasure this experience. Personally, I have spent the majority of my adult life working with these people, and only time will tell what life will be like without seeing them every day. Chris Judge’s pranks, Amanda Tapping’s infectious smile, Ben Browder’s optimism, Beau Bridges’ “Tales of Hollywood,” Claudia Black’s untold friendship, Don Davis’ tall stories, Teryl Rothery’s giddy laughter, and of course, Richard Dean Anderson’s relentless humor, sarcasm and massacre of everything cliché or mainstream.
The dogs on set, the growing army of children on set, golf balls whizzing in every direction, gallons of coffee, reading scripts, Ivan Bartok shooting endless B-roll, Stargate hockey, Mallozzi’s suits and chocolate, prosthetic puppets, thousands of rounds of P-90 ammo, and rubbing the DHD’s red centre in just the right way.
I could go on, but it might just be … unending.
