SG1Props

It would appear the guys at MGM have made their first casting decision with regard to Stargate Universe.

The military leader of the 'happy band' will apparently be Robert Carlyle.

For the full story, see here

My initial reaction was 'hmmm', but I'm now thinking he might be just the gritty, witty leader we need for this

I've never heard of him.

Oh ... outstanding ... he's played Hitler on TV (IMDB.com)

Actually looking at his picture reminds me of the lunatic fringe special ops guy from the season one episode "The First Commandment"

So we'll be having a "Naked" doctor leading the new crew?

Naked...Full Monty...yeah, I'll just eat my cake! LOL

Or "Renard" if you follow the James Bond films...from "The World Is Not Enough"!

Oh good god, I hope not! It's been a few years since 'The Full Monty' - and I don't think it was a pretty sight to start with (from reviews I read).

He was last seen as a reformed Marine looking after African orphans in '24: Redemption'.

I still don't see him as the SG sort :S

I agree Carter...from looking at recent pics of him...there's going to be a 'proving ground' he's going to have to overcome.

[Still disappointed they decided to cancel the SGA franchise!]

I'm hugely disappointed with the lose of SGA.

It may have had its critics during the middle seasons, but I really feel that in Season 5 it refound itself.

Can't wait to hear who the other cast members are going to be though for SG:U
