Our Interview:

In this science fiction podcast, Miles and Scott interview Christopher Heyerdahl, well known for his roles in Smallville, Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, and most recently Sanctuary.  He starts off the interview chatting about his role as Zor-El in Smallville and then moves into chatting about his role as Alistair on Supernatural.  Is Alistair really?  Heyerdahl weighs in on the matter.  He goes on to chat about his roles in the Stargate franchise, especially focusing on his role as Todd the Wraith, which he views as having brought humanity to the wraith.  After a brief interruption from Adrienne Wilkenson, he chats about his favorite Todd moments including shaking Amanda Tapping’s hand, the revelation in “Common Ground”, and the mutiny on the Deadalus.  He shares what it was like to wear the mask and outfit of Todd and what it was like to wear that around the Atlantis set.  After a brief interruption by a Japanese schoolgirl, which he enjoyed I might add, he went on to chat about revoicing Todd, what some have called Looping, and others have referred to as ADR (Additional Dialogue Recording).

We pressed him about Sanctuary and what we could expect from Season 2.  With the Kabal still in action and Ashley now rogue, he said, season 2 will bring more action, more special effects, and take place all over the world.  Many of the characters will surprises us, especially Will.  His character of John Druitt will continue to stir up trouble.  He said to expect a new gun for hire character he calls Hanna Solo.

He finishes the interview by stalking about how he got into science fiction and his love of all things Star Trek and Star wars.  He comments on how Vancouver has become the hot bed for all things scifi.  He discusses his role in the up and coming Twilight: New Moon movie.
