\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to hear from everyone\u2019s favorite berated, overworked, underappreciated scientist. Move over Rodney! Radek Zelenka of the Atlantis expedition is a pretty quiet fellow, but actor David Nykl is anything but. He\u2019s a ham. This was my second time seeing David. He attended the Chicago Creation convention last year, and though he is not listed yet for this year, I have high hopes. I have an ulterior motive, though. I will have something to present to him has a gift. That is if I can find the time to write it. (Don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about? Read my \u201cCabaret and Cocktails\u201d<\/a> post!)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Please Note: Even though I have used quotes, this is not word for word everything that was said. It is only as close as I could get by scribbling down everything I heard. No audio or video recording is allowed at Creation conventions. If I\u2019d been using a pencil instead of a pen, I have no doubt that the wood could have caught fire in my hand from the heat of the friction! Fortunately for all attending, I don\u2019t like to use pencils.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

David started out by polling the audience to see where people had come from. He soon discovered that a good number of us were from the US. \u201cYour dollar goes far. Thanks, thanks a lot. You can get two photos of Dan Shea for the price of one. But really who\u2019d want to? I mean . . .\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, my name is David Nykl. Hello. I played (shifts into the Czech accent) Doctor Radek Zelenka on Stargate Atlantis. Does anybody remember that show? Remember, all those years ago? Remember working? [Someone shouts that Radek is better than Mckay] I\u2019m way better than McKay, apparently! Oh, you\u2019re just saying that. If Hewlett was on stage right now . . . I was actually just in Los Angeles, talking to David Hewlett. He\u2019s doing very well, he sends his love. He\u2019s doing what the rest of us are doing and trying to work (laughs). \u2018Will work. Unemployed astrophysicist.\u2019 (Grimaces) It\u2019s kind of a hard job to continue with, you know? (Laughs) You get benefits, though. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d tell you some stories from filming, but we wrapped, what . . . almost six months ago. It seems like such a long time ago now. But we live on in reruns, don\u2019t we? Today is Friday, so I can\u2019t ask you what episode was on last night. Are we still running? [Some people shout yes] On \u2018Sifi\u2019? \u2018Sify\u2019? \u2018SwyFwy\u2019? Is that how you pronounce it now? What\u2019s all that about? SwyFwy. Have you seen that? [Fans groan \u2018yes\u2019] So they\u2019re changing their logo from SciFi to Syfy? I mean why would someone want to put a \u2018y\u2019 in the middle of a word . . . [turns to look at his last name, Nykl, which is on the view screen behind him]. Can I buy a vowel please? It\u2019s some weird Cech thing, about not having any vowels.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Uh oh. David had a Czech joke to tell us. \u201cThe Czech guy comes up to his optometrist \u2013 now stop me if you\u2019ve heard this one. Oh you have. Ok, forget it. (Laughs) Czech guy comes up to his optometrist, and the optometrist goes, \u2018see if you can read that line on the bottom of the chart\u2019. So he covers his eye and goes, \u2018R, K, Q, R, N, M, V, N, K\u2019. And he goes, \u2018hey that\u2019s pretty good, you can read that!\u2019 \u2018Read that? I know<\/em> him!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

David warmed to the Czech discussion. \u201cI\u2019ll answer your questions later (laughs). This phrase in Czech that goes, [says four words in Czech. I\u2019m sorry, but I\u2019m not even going to try. I\u2019m scared that if I misspell this it will turn into a horribly offensive curse] which is an entire sentence without a single vowel in it<\/em>. And it means, \u2018Stick your finger through your throat\u2019 (takes his index finger across is through, tip first). That\u2019s why the Czechs look like they do. It\u2019s kind of a weird thing. I don\u2019t know. Vowels? Don\u2019t need them.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Somehow we got back to the Sci-Fi name change topic. \u201cYou can\u2019t copyright a genre. It\u2019s like if there was \u2018Western Network\u2019 or \u2018Soap Network\u2019, you can\u2019t copyright a genre so they have to go with \u2018SwyFwy\u2019. (Emphasizing the \u2018wy\u2019 sound every way he can) \u2018This Monday on SwyFwy, Stargate Atwantis!\u2019 <\/span>Oh I\u2019m not going to be in the movie for sure now. Make fun of the network, Nykl. Smart. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re going to ask, so I\u2019ll say what I know about the movie, and that is I don\u2019t know. What I heard, it\u2019s going to be on, and I\u2019m excited, I\u2019m looking forward to it. There was talk of doing it in spring sometime. I\u2019m not too sure where even the script is at, if there is one. So this is the time to call the writers and go, \u2018*Cough*Zelenka\u2019. It\u2019s like when we were filming \u2018Vegas\u2019, I came up to Joe Mallozzi and I said, \u2018You know I think Zelenka is really good at black jack. And the only way is if you fly him to Vegas\u2019. Naw, Flanigan gets all the fun. He gets to run around and chase Wraiths in casinos. I just do Microsoft Word on a lap top. (Pretends to type) \u2018Oh John, I\u2019m so worried about you\u2019. (Laughs) No it\u2019s not like that. Heavens.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One fan in the front row made a request, though since she didn\u2019t use the microphones stationed on either side of the stage it was hard to hear her. It sounded like she was telling him that she asks all the actors with accents that she meets to say something in that accent for her. \u201cIs this one of those things that is going to trap me in YouTube hell? <\/span>. . . With my cool accent can I say \u2018Harry Potter\u2019? (Laughs and lowers his voice) \u2018Live from FM 99.3\u2019 . . . um, (in his accent) Harry Potter.\u201d <\/span>Everyone applauded, and he just stood there looking at us like, \u2018You guys are so easily pleased.\u2019 I have to admit as a Potter fan, it did sound cool! Apparently David was just as easily amused though, because he started saying things with his accent just to get our reactions! \u201cReturn of the Jedi. Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy. [Someone shouted out Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious] (Laughs and shakes his head) Talk about having vowels!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

David started to take questions, finally. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In \u2018Grace Under Pressure\u2019 you mutter on in Czech, and Sheppard says he knows what you mean. I have no idea what you said and I was just wondering . . . \u201cYou think I\u2019m going to tell you? (Laughs) This is the way it worked with the Czech. (Sarcastically) Because all the writers on Stargate Atlantis are fully fluent in Czech. I get the script totally written in Czech. No it\u2019s written in English, and there\u2019s this little slug line in there that says, \u2018Mutters in Czech\u2019. Dot Dot Dot. So it\u2019s me. Teaching the world to cuss in a foreign language. One Friday at a time. Repeat after me. I think it is on YouTube, someone has cut together absolutely all of my expletives. In Czech, on YouTube, where things never go away. So if you do want to learn to cuss in a foreign language just download that clip and repeat after me, and you\u2019ll go far. You\u2019ll start to get kicked out of a lot of places.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What are you working on now?<\/em> \u201cAn actor\u2019s work is getting work. That\u2019s what we do. I\u2019ve done a few little bits and pieces. I\u2019m also very circumspect about talking about it. There\u2019s a few little brands in the fire. Things that I do know are going on include directing a play, which I love doing. I\u2019ll be doing that in May. There\u2019s a couple of things that I have a lot of interest in that are coming up, and I\u2019ve got a little short film also. Without being too specific . . . Mmmmm stuff. There\u2019s this one film that I did two years ago, \u201cBeast of Bottom\u2019s Lake\u201d [Not sure I heard this right, so please don\u2019t take my word for it], which I\u2019m really excited about. I\u2019m looking forward to it coming out. It\u2019s a comedy, and it\u2019s on the verge of being released, so watch out for that. \u201cBeast of Bottom\u2019s Lake\u201d. It\u2019s a Moby Dick story. We\u2019re chasing after a cryptic sea creature.\u201d<\/em> Is that going to be on SciFi? <\/em>\u201cNo, it\u2019s independent, so it\u2019s where ever we manage to get it released, so <\/span><\/span>www.davidnykl.com<\/span><\/a>!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

How long did it take the writers to figure out that you were swearing in Czech? <\/em>\u201cThey knew. They wanted <\/em>me to swear. I think the real issue is if the show is ever sold in the Czech Republic. It\u2019s funny. There are fans here from France? Where are you? They dub the show in French, right? Italian too. Well apparently if they do that in Czech they would dub me into Czech, which is the biggest irony. I get emails. \u2018So would you consider dubbing yourself . . . into . . . yourself?\u2019 It\u2019d be kind of weird. But they\u2019re genuine swear words in there, but the American sensors and the Canadian sensors can\u2019t tell. And who cares about the Czech ones?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you ever go back to the Czech Republic?<\/em> \u201cYou know, it\u2019s a flight. It\u2019s an expensive flight sometimes. So it\u2019s just dependant on time of year, whatever. I try to go every couple years. If you\u2019ve never been, it\u2019s beautiful. It\u2019s a great bargain too. It\u2019s a worthwhile stop in the middle of Europe.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Olympics, if Canada\u2019s playing the Czech Republic who do you support? <\/em> <\/span>(Laughs and jumps up and down!) I knew it! I knew<\/em> I was going to get that question! I get that question in Prague and I go, \u2018Oh the Czech team!\u2019 \u2018In the Olympics, if<\/em>,\u2019 well that\u2019s great. Way to put me in a spot. Well, because it\u2019s Vancouver, because it\u2019s the Olympics on here, then it\u2019s Team Canada. But we\u2019ll give them a run for their money! That\u2019s right, the Olympics are just a few short months away. Well no, it\u2019s March, early March, late February. [A woman near me shouts \u201cApril\u201d] Or April, yes. What would happen if we didn\u2019t have snow? It\u2019d be so<\/em> funny. Here\u2019s the Olympics. Imagine the loge. Scraping down the thing, \u2018I don\u2019t know!\u2019 No snow!\u201d<\/span><\/span>
\nIf you took the brains out, who would win in a fight between McKay and Zelenka? <\/em>[Poor David was a bit befuddled by this one!] \u201cSo, what are the conditions? Take the brains out,\u201d The woman asking the question said, \u201cYeah, basically a WWF style death match. Who would win?\u201d \u201cOh. Between McKay and Zelenka? You have a lot of free time, don\u2019t you? That\u2019s one thing we can charge money for. We can get together and do arm wrestling. Um, Zelenka would smack his mmm down! (In an innocent little voice) David Hewlett\u2019s a really nice guy, he doesn\u2019t deserve to get beat up. He\u2019s my best friend. (Laughs and goes back to his normal voice) That\u2019d be kinda funny, wouldn\u2019t it? [The woman who asked says, \u201cYou must have imagined it a few times.] Yeah, actually, it\u2019s not too far off.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What have you enjoyed the most about being on Stargate Atlantis?<\/em> \u201cPeople will say this, everyone from the Stargate franchise will, and really, it\u2019s the people. The fact that everyone is working on such a fun job. I think what\u2019s different between us and other franchises is that people don\u2019t really take it incredibly seriously. It\u2019s work, and you\u2019re doing your work, but there\u2019s a kind of fun, a levity which I think reflects in the work done. So generally, that\u2019s what I\u2019ve enjoyed the most. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Some of effects shots, like in \u2018Adrift\u2019 where Joe and I are jumping between the towers \u2013 that was a lot of fun. I think that little sequence even won the Grammy, the the Grammy . . . [Everyone laughs while david attempts to correct himself] the Freddy, the Johnny, the Emmy<\/em>, for visual effects for Mark Savela, props to him for a fantastic job. The effects on Atlantis are stunning. It\u2019s a combination of good old-fashioned on set know-how and plus the computer gimmickry. <\/span>People think it\u2019s all just computers, but for example, that shot was particularly \u2013 when it was put together we were in these $30,000 NASA space suits that were designed by our props team from plastic they found on the internet! They\u2019ve also built a couple of atomic bombs. It\u2019s just stuff that\u2019s floating around out there for sale. And the detail on these things was fantastic. I don\u2019t know how many of you have ever been on a space walk before, but the console on the chest has got all the little flips and switches. And it\u2019s written backwards, and on the back of your hand there\u2019s a mirror, so you just (demonstrates how to use the mirror to read the switches) look and you can read the switches in the mirror. Details like that on a costume. With a big ring in it (indicates around his waist) and cooling vests that the Formula 1 racers have because it gets hot inside the thing. So you\u2019ve got a little tube that goes out to a cooler, literally, and it pumps cold water through you. And then hooked up to (indicates overhead) a spreader and a cantilevered dolly, so it\u2019s like this crane on a dolly, and Joe and I were like these human size marionettes hanging around. It was a lot of fun. It was actually quite comfortable because they got out center of gravity such that you could just sort of sit there. And between takes \u2013 it takes up to 40 minutes to set up the lights or sometimes an hour to set up for a particular shot \u2013 it\u2019s not like you can get down off of this thing, so you just sit there. So there\u2019s a photo of me, and I\u2019d fallen asleep, and you sink into the suit, (shows the bottom of the helmet at his eye level). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course they woke us up after that, quite well. Martin Wood \u2013 he thought I didn\u2019t overhear him, but I did \u2013 say to the guys [working the dolly and crane], \u2018when you bring them across,\u2019 because were jumping across, and we were filming the scene where we hit the opposite wall, he says, \u2018I want you to really smack<\/em> them into the wall. And I went, \u2018Hey wait a minute! Wait wait wait wait!\u2019 Being unable to pull the suit off, you could just feel them going (acts out him being swung across the stage) \u2018No!\u2019 Boom into the wall. That was fun. Stuff like that was fun. And scenes with Hewlett are a lot of fun. The sort of back and forth that we always do. They kind of waned off a little in the last couple of years, bit those have always been tremendous tremendous<\/em> fun to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to a question I didn\u2019t catch, David said, \u201cOf course the new StarTrek movie is going to spawn a new series, right? So they need the young Chekov. (Looks up and considers) I guess the old, the middle aged Chekov? The \u2018after his prime\u2019 Chekov? [Someone goes, \u201cAwwww!\u201d] No \u2018awwww\u2019 please. Yes thank you for your pity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

2009. Prime or not prime? \u201c<\/em>2000? Prime. Oh, 2009? Ah . . . not prime. Prove me wrong! (Laughs) All you guys with the iPhone there going nenene (pretends to be calculating it on an iPhone). 2009? No, not prime, man. Half of 2009 is . . . I don\u2019t know. You really want to do math now?!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Uh oh. \u201cThe infamous pranks question. Whenever I come on set I insist on perfect . . . ah, no no no. There must be serious decorum, yes? The flying fruit phase of the afternoon. Whenever the fruit trays come out, – Well, the thing that we do that sometimes gets a little infuriating, is was talk right up until the last possible moment during the take. Like they\u2019ve got the clapper and they\u2019re going, \u2018alright, scene one, dah dah dah, -\u2018 (talking to a cast mate) \u2018Yeah and then on the weekends, (waves off the clapper person) yeah whatever, excuse me, – Ok! We\u2019ll do the scene now.\u2019 It\u2019s not really a prank, but there\u2019s been some stuff. Too bad you guys couldn\u2019t see the blooper reels. It\u2019d be so cool. Why is that? Why can\u2019t we release any blooper reels? Do you know? [We tell him there were some one the Atlantis season DVD\u2019s, but we don\u2019t know why we can\u2019t get more.] I mean they\u2019re blooper reels, that\u2019s what you do! <\/span>Oh and Paul will tell you the one that happened to him, with the rock in the bag. I\u2019ll leave that for him.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Adam, one of our two amazing Creation MCs, interrupts and says, \u201cWe have a Twitter message from David Hewlett.\u201d Nykl says, \u201cBring it on.\u201d Adam hands him the phone the message is on, and David reads it, laughs, and says, \u201c\u2019Radek who?\u2019 Oh, he\u2019s just jealous. He\u2019s sitting there at his typewriter trying to come up with his next little thing. We\u2019re going to do a series together, David Hewlett and I, I think. (Pointing to the phone and then to himself) \u2018Smart and Smarter\u2019. I love that, I should write these things down sometimes.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Do you understand any of the science that your character has to use, or is it all just gibberish to you? No, no, heavens no. It\u2019s not just gibberish. I\u2019ve always been, let\u2019s call it a hobbyist or an aficionado. I get Wired Magazine, I love dicking around in stuff like that. <\/span>I\u2019ve always been that way. The way that the show is written is science fiction, science fact. <\/span>The stuff seems to be out there, but it really follows really kind of basic princi \u2013 well I guess wormholes aren\u2019t really that basic; quantum mechanics \u2013 but the show has furthered that interest, yes. Because it\u2019s not that I discovered science fiction through the show, I\u2019ve always been a fan. I\u2019ve always enjoyed the technology, and I understand a little bit of the science. I don\u2019t claim to be a physicist for real, but I do know some of the basics. And the show has a physics consultant. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been some fun stuff, like there\u2019s one in \u2013 if you remember the episode \u2013 \u2018Sunday\u2019. You know in the episode \u2018Sunday\u2019 where they killed Paul McGillian? We\u2019re playing a chess game. It\u2019s like what we do on our day off, is play a chess match. And they brought in a grand master! And I like the game, I play quite a bit. So we had some time on set, so he showed me of these wicked (moving his hand around like he\u2019s rapidly moving chess pieces), so stuff like that. I\u2019m like \u2018I\u2019m not doing it without my chess master\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know Don Davis?<\/em> <\/span>\u201cI\u2019d seen him on the show. I never got the chance to see him personally, unfortunately. Or paths just didn\u2019t cross. When we were doing Atlantis, for those two years Atlantis and SG-1 were concurrently running, it was like oil and water. They were on their set, we were on our set. It was just because of scheduling. So I missed him, but I\u2019ve heard \u2013 tremendous tremendous<\/em> guy.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Does Zelenka have any parts of your personality? <\/span><\/em>\u201cThat\u2019s kind of up for you guys to decide on. What am I like, and what is Zelenka like. Zelenka\u2019s much more conservative, I think. And a bit more risk averse, perhaps, just generally. And the nature of the relationship between . . . Hewlett who? . . . and Zelenka, the Mutt and Jeff thing, is of course the Amadeus\/Salieri kind of thing. . . . That\u2019s kind of a weird analogy, isn\u2019t it? Just going off the top of my head here. For that sort of dramatic tension to work, it\u2019s got to flow somewhere, so there\u2019s got to be an unfairness, an imbalance. So we work off of that kind of thing a lot. He\u2019s being arrogant, he\u2019s being an (mouths the first half of the word, but doesn\u2019t say it out loud) —hole, (everyone laughs so he pretends to censor himself) an *beep*hole, I\u2019m the put upon Zelenka.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A fan in the front row had a suggestion. It was difficult to hear her because she didn\u2019t have a mic, and David did not repeat what she said for the rest of us, but from what I could catch she said something like, \u201cYou say your insults \u2013 what you really mean \u2013 in English, where as Zelenka is a little more nervous so he mutters them in Czech.\u201d David smiled and said, \u201cYeah, that\u2019s what I\u2019ll do. I\u2019ll do all my insults of Hewlett right here, now. You guys can Twitter him back. Let\u2019s just bomb him with Twitters, can you do that? Can you go on his page? [Fans familiar with Twitter say \u201cYeah!\u201d] Ok, do me a favor. (Starts laughing, and we all laugh thinking, uh oh, Hewlett\u2019s gonna get it!) The power of the people! \u2018Rodney who?\u2019 Yeah? \u2018Rodney who\u2019 question mark. Hundreds <\/em>of them. Right? Would you do that for me? [We all laugh and cheer!] We\u2019ll come back, oh that\u2019ll be sweet! I love that idea. Who\u2019s idea was that? Oh it was mine.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Got any good impressions of your fellow actors?<\/em> \u201cHere\u2019s the thing. I was asked \u2013 was it in Philadelphia? \u2013 that there\u2019s a tradition that actors do impressions of other actors, and I said, (skeptically) \u2018Oh really? It\u2019s a tradition? Ok.\u2019 \u2018So would you do Flanigan?\u2019 \u2018No, I can\u2019t do \u2013\u2018 \u2018Aw, come on! [probably the whole audience there got into it]\u2019 So I was like, \u2018ah yayaya\u2019 [David didn\u2019t even want to do it for us!] #1 thing on YouTube. So no thanks, I\u2019m not going to get fooled by that again. No way.\u201d Clearly someone forgot to tell David that there\u2019s no video recording allowed at Creation conventions, so he would have been perfectly safe from YouTube!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a reason that Zelenka never gets to really be the hero, just Rodney? [The writers] knew there was an imbalance in terms of that, and I think such episodes as \u2018Quarantine\u2019 \u2013 remember that one? \u2013 addressed that a little bit. A little bit. I mean it can\u2019t always be that way. Yeah it\u2019d be nice for Zelenka to have his comeuppance, but wait for the movie, right?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Is there any science fiction that you enjoy?<\/em> I liked Doctor Who. [Whoot!] The books, mind you, not the series. [Some fans grumble. Um . . . there were books first?] \u2018Ooh, you\u2019re old!\u2019 . . . Star Wars, when it started out, but I don\u2019t know towards the end. Pretty excited about the new Trek movie coming out. Paul [McGillion] showed me a secret sneak preview that he\u2019s not allowed to show anybody. And, what happens is that \u2013 (tries to look innocent and fails miserably). I think JJ Abrams could swap me from here (looks up as if checking to see if he\u2019s going to get smacked). Wherever he is right now.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Did you ever discuss with the writers things that you would like to do as Zelenka?<\/em> I figured out pretty early that if I was the kind of actor that went up all the time and said, \u2018I wish I did this, I wish I did that,\u2019 that you become that kind of actor that IS \u2018I wish I did this, I wish I did that\u2019. I had to kind of respect that the writers of the show have their own creative process. It\u2019s an interesting sort of dichotomy because they create the character. They\u2019ve got their plans, and I\u2019m the one that\u2019s playing it. There are things that we would discuss once they were on the written page, and there were suggestions that I made, and I think that kind of back and forth always exists. But it was never my intention to go, \u2018I think this is what he should be like\u2019 and want that.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Where would you have like to see your character go the end of the series?<\/em> \u201cTo be honest I would have liked for it to have had a better conclusion than it did. At the end of season 5 in kind of petered out a little bit. It didn\u2019t feel like there was any sort of, \u2018what\u2019s going on with him now?\u2019 sort of thing. But who knows, maybe that might be addressed. It\u2019s always open.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How was it to work with Amanda Tapping in \u2018Quarantine\u2019?<\/em> \u201cCrazy! (laughs) That was all done it one day, and it was a short day at that. We were in a transporter, which is basically, they find a broom closet on set, and they sweep it out. \u2018Stand in there.\u2019 And with Martin Wood shooting, and Martin and Amanda have worked together and are still working together on Sanctuary. We were done in a matter of hours. It\u2019s deceptive, it seems like it\u2019s all throughout the episode, but it\u2019s all shot in one day. So just a couple of takes. There\u2019s some effects. Effects usually slow you down, when there\u2019s sparks and stuff flying out of there, and stunts, and getting thrown around, but it\u2019s terrific. Everybody says that it\u2019s great to work with Amanda, and well, it is <\/em>great to work with Amanda. I had a chance to work with her again later on on Sanctuary. Yay!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Aww man, there\u2019s the two minute warning. \u201cThat\u2019s three questions? Always pushing me! Always!\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Is it hard to switch back and forth from English to Czech?<\/em> <\/span>\u201cIf you try to learn a language later on in life, it\u2019s a lot harder. I had the benefit of my wonderful mother who taught me to speak Czech when I was at home. So I spoke it as a kid and when you hear it as a kid and you have the language in your head it\u2019s part of how your brain develops. So literally, the switching back and forth is \u2013 I do it all the time. It\u2019s like a second processor. And linguists will tell you that the culture, thought \u2013 I mean think of all the process we have when we think. Is it in language? Is it in pictures? What is it that makes a thought come into language? Having full fluency, being able to sort of cut between those two languages was just lucky I guess. A lucky circumstance for me. So the flipping back and forth is easy. It\u2019s remembering to do the accent! There\u2019s been a couple of takes where I start, (without the accent) \u2018well Rodney, you can\u2019t really \u2013 oh, I mean \u2013 (with the accent) Well Rodney, you know you can\u2019t . . .\u2019 You\u2019re Czech, remember! It\u2019s kind of ironic.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any sites in Vancouver that you recommend we visit? <\/em> <\/span>Answering as quickly as he could since time was nearly up, David said, \u201cDo you ski? Snowboard? Go to the mountains. They\u2019re just above the city, especially on a day like today when it clears up. Go up the sky ride, or if you want you can walk up. There\u2019s a thing called the \u2018Grouse Grind\u2019 [not sure that\u2019s right]. (Laughs)Yeah, if you\u2019re nuts. Pay the $12 or $18 and go up the gondola. Great view of the city. But otherwise when you\u2019re in the downtown core, it\u2019s a walking downtown. Have a great time in Vancouver!\u201d With that, David Nykl took his leave.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

David was supposed to attend the cocktail party that night, but it seems that he chickened out. Actually, I just realized that he wasn\u2019t listed to perform at the Cabaret! It does make sense, actually. He only had the one act, though considering that I ended up being a part of it, one act was plenty from him! (Again, see the “Cabaret and Cocktails”<\/a> post)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Next up, he\u2019s been electrocuted, had things blow up in his face, and been seen in the infirmary with numerous unexplained injuries. He\u2019s also been thrown around and beaten up more times than fans can count because half the time you couldn\u2019t tell it was him! Care to take a guess? Stunt coordinator, stunt double for \u201cBig Boy\u201d Richard Dean Anderson, and SG-1\u2019s Sergeant Siler, Dan Shea arrives bringing set stories galore!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
