Paul McGillion: (about his character being killed off in "Stargate Atlantis") I spent three years on the show. From what started out being a recurring character we didn't even know, maybe three or four episodes, all of a sudden I was in 17 of the first 20 and they made me a regular. I got nothing but good things to say about those guys. They gave me a great opportunity. I was the only one from Vancouver that was a regular cast member. Being able to play a Scottish character, I had just a blast. (edit) Paul McGillion: (describing the "Stargate Atlantis" cast) Joe Flanigan-"cool", Rachel Luttrell "hot", Torri Higginson "sexy", Rainbow Sun Francks "super cool", David Hewlett "not as cool as me." (edit) Paul McGillion: (his funniest experience on "Stargate Atlantis") In the episode Duet - when we rehearsed the infamous kissing scene between myself and David Hewlett, he surprised me by planting me right on the kisser for real in the rehearsal - everyone on set lost it! I'm still in therapy for it. (edit) Paul McGillion: (on what he would do if he wasn't acting) I have a teaching degree, so I'd be teaching in some capacity. I really love teaching. If I ever stopped acting I'd love to fall back into teaching. (edit) Paul McGillion: (about his amount of technical dialogue in "Stargate Atlantis") I'm the doctor so I'm going to be hit with alien, medical, Scottish jargon at times. It can be a little tricky. Sometimes I'll read it and go: "Are you guys doing this on purpose?" Thankfully I have a brother whose just finishing his PhD in medicine and I call him up. He has a good Scottish accent too. So firstly he'll tell me what it means, and secondly say it with a Scottish accent. So I do my homework and I work very hard at trying to make it come across as naturally as possible. (edit)
