Title: Doctor
Played By: Robert Carlyle
When a group of scientists and soldiers find themselves trapped on an Ancient ship in the far reaches of space, Dr. Rush works to unlock the mysteries of the Ancient ship Destiny and return the group home. But evidence of his ulterior motives soon arises.
Rank: Colonel
Played By: Louis Ferreira
Colonel Young requested to serve the remainder of his commission on Earth upon marrying his wife, Hailey, two years ago, but for now he commands a secret off-world base. The loss of two members of his team several years ago has taught him to be prepared for anything.
Rank: Lieutenant
Played By: Brian J. Smith
Green and rough around the edges, Lt. Scott is thrust into the role of leader well before he is ready for the responsibility. He must learn to command, earn the respect of his people through action, and manage the diverse personalities aboard the ship.
Rank: First Lieutenant
Played By: Alaina Huffman
Beautiful, tough, and from a modest background, Tamara joined the Air Force when she couldn’t afford medical school. With only paramedic-level training, she ends up being the most medically inclined person on the ship — but is overwhelmed by her lack of knowledge and experience.
Civilian
Played By: David Blue
Eli is a total slacker … who just happens to be an utter genius with anything he puts his mind to, be it computers, mathematics, video games, or anything else. A lack of confidence has left him with an acerbic sense of humor.
Civilian
Played By: Elyse Levesque
Stunning and sexy, Chloe is the daughter of a U.S. Senator. She had a silver spoon upbringing and is a little spoiled … but politically and socially savvy. She dreams of following in her father’s footsteps, but the dire circumstances of being trapped on a spaceship seriously tests her character.
Rank: Master Sergeant
Played By: Jamil Walker Smith
Sergeant Greer is a Marine with an explosive temper that he finds hard to control. His past is a mystery, but it’s clear that something dark formed the hard shell around him. He’d rather take the fight to the enemy than stand still.
Civilian
Played By: Ming-Na
A human resources executive with the international organization with oversight of the Stargate program, Wray finds herself on the Destiny very much against her will. She believes her opinion should carry a lot of weight with Dr. Rush and Colonel Young. Probably a recurring character.
Rank: Colonel
Played By: Lou Diamond Phillips
A lifelong military man, Colonel Telford is the chosen leader of the ill-fated expedition. But things don’t go quite as planned when an enemy attacks the secret research base from which his long-awaited mission was to launch. Possibly recurring or a guest star for the 3-hour premiere.
The full January 16 press release follows on Page 2, and the February 25 press release on Page 3.

Imo, they're not attractive as they were in sg1 + sga
Its comming together at least lets hope that the last two spots are filled well.
I look forward to "AIR" lets see if it keeps up to what we've come to expect from the franchise
Matthew Scott = John Sheppard
Eli Wallace = Rodney McKay
Ronald Greer = Ronan Dex
@Hithere ha ha i am gona wait to see the women before i comment. I don't know many of them but i knew non of the Atlantis cast either. They seem to look the part can't wait for Universe.
John Sheepard = Jack o'neill
Rodney Mckay = Carter
Ronan Dex = teal'c
two-hour movie event?!
i thought it was supposed to be three-hour....
It just keeps getting better with the more I hear about "Stargate: Universe"! All the casting has been superb and I'm happy with who's been chosen to play these latest character additions to the "Stargate" franchise! :)
I'm looking forward to hear who they've cast for the main female characters! :)
I hope it succeeds for the people who like it. The more cast they announce, and the more they talk about the characters, they don't seem like people I want to devote my time to.
Just doesn't seem to have that happy, feel-good vibe that the other two shows have. And that's what I'm looking for with Stargate. Oh well, people's tastes vary so hopefully, for these guys, many will love the show.
I'm still open minded. I'm pleased that they aren't going as young as I was afraid they were going to.
@Jedi_Master_Bra'tac: Ronon doesn't usually have an explosive temper. And I would hardly say Rodney's sense of humor comes from a "lack of self-confidence" ;)
