- 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.

- 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.
