Stargate Universe‘s Robert Carlyle is the Best Actor in Canada, according to Gemini Award voters! Carlyle won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role, for his role as Dr. Nicholas Rush in the Season One episode “Human.”
The 25th annual award gala was held last night in Toronto, with the entire cast in attendance. Carlyle’s fellow nominees included Michael Riley (Being Erica), Luke Kirby (Cra$h & Burn), Allan Hawco (Republic of Doyle), and fellow SGU cast member Louis Ferreira (“Everett Young”).
SGU was also up for Best Dramatic Series. The trophy went to The Tudors.
In total, Stargate Universe was nominated for nine awards in this year’s Geminis, including Best Direction (Andy Mikita), Best Original Music Score (Joel Goldsmith), Best Photography (Jim Menard), Best Picture Editing (Rick Martin), Best Sound (Kelly Cole and team), and Best Visual Effects (Mark Savela and team). The awards honor the best English-language television produced in Canada, as determined by members of the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television and other industry professionals.

Congratulations!!!!
Certainly well deserved!!!! He does great work and I'm glad he's been recognised for it!!!! Congratulations, Mr. Robert Carlyle!!!!
Nice to see that the rest of the cast is so happy for him. That really says a lot about him as an actor and a person.
'Bout time. It's well deserved.
Brilliant :)
Congrats Mr Carlyle....Come on people give SGU a go
"PLEASE WATCH IT LIVE SO IT STAY ON THE AIR"
I really LOVE the show.Sadly Im in Australia so watching it live dosen't count-!
congrats, hopefully the show gets renewed and he can show us some more that great actting :D
Well deserved. Even if it gets canceled, I think most of us will admit (including Robert) that it was experience worth to have. Good series, excellent acting, and excellent use of Stargate cosmos material of so many years.
Also thanks to the rest of the acting team - you are the best.
@Bevarne: I am a big fan of the Stargate franchise, but only a moderate fan of SGU. My only reason to watch this show, is because of Robert Carlyle and his "Rush" character. The show itself, is centered too much on drama, and not enough on science fiction. Both the cast and crew, consider this a Drama Show, and not a Sci-Fi Show. Both SG-1 and SGA are Sci-Fi shows.
