Amanda Tapping goes indie with Random Acts of Romance

Amanda Tapping is currently shooting a new feature by indie filmmaker Katrin Bowen in her home town, Vancouver. Headlining the film Random Acts of Romance, Amanda plays Dianne, a teacher supporting a former student and lover (Zak Santiago) who hasn’t grown up.

Random Acts is described as a sexy, hilarious comedy feature about intense characters in extreme relationship situations.

Santiago also has a history on Stargate, playing Rogelio Duran in the SG-1 two-parter “Evolution.” More recently, he played Corporal Rivers on Stargate Universe.

Amanda and Zak are joined by Katherine Isabelle (Valencia in SG-1‘s “Camelot”), Robert Moloney (Atlantis‘s Koracen and SG-1‘s Borren), Laura Bertram (Andromeda), Ted Whitall, and Sonja Bennett (Dahlia Radim on Stargate Atlantis).

Filming wraps around February 17 and all indications from her Twitter feed is that she is enjoying the project immensely.

  • I agree with Mandy's comment above. I am also looking forward to seeing Amanda in a movie which isn't sci-fi related and in which she isn't playing a scientist.

  • Amanda is a good pick for a feature comedy. She has good comic timing. I look forward to seeing the film.

  • I can't wait to see Random Acts of Romance! I can't think of anything better than to see Amanda Tapping on the big screen. That woman has more talent in her little toe than most other people. I also think that the lead actors on both SG1 and Atlantis are some of the most talented actors I have ever seen bar none. Christerpher Judge is a number one talent. When you think of the range of emotions he can convay with just looks ala Teal'c.
