He was a Dick. Maybe he was a Dick that meant well.

The above quote comes from Robert\u2019s own description of his character\u2019s progression when we see him in episodes of Stargate SG-1, from his first appearance in \u2018Heroes Part 2\u2019 to the fan favorite \u2018The Shroud\u2019. I\u2019ll do my best to make sense of all of this for you.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Robert started taking questions very quickly. For those who are unfamiliar with Robert\u2019s previous life as a holographic doctor on StarTrek: Voyageur, Robert was able to make use of his singing voice in that role on many occasions.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>A fan asked why Robert did not get to sing while on Atlantis. Regarding his fellow cast members, Robert laughed and said, \u201cI wanted to sing A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody and have then all come down the stairs. I think that that might have been too close. I mean, let\u2019s face it. You\u2019ve already taken an actor from one scifi franchise and stuck him into another one. I don\u2019t think you want to repeat too much of the same stuff. I suggested that I was a hologram but they thought that was too much. So I think it was better that we didn\u2019t try to mine too much of the same territory, but I appreciate your interest.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We learned that it was Robert\u2019s idea that Woolsey be seen relaxing in a suit and tie when off duty in \u201cBecause I think that\u2019s funny. They said, \u2018ok\u2019 and they wrote that in.\u201d<!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><em>As an actor, how do you juggle work and family?<\/em> It\u2019s a great question. Obviously when you\u2019re married and you have children that you\u2019re putting through private school and college and all that, you have to always balance the practical side of your need to support your family with your creative impulses and desires. The bargain that I made is that I like to try and find at least one thing every year that is a big creative challenge. Usually it\u2019s doing a small play in California, but it need not be that, it can be something else. This past year I\u2019ve had fun with the Acme Comedy Theater, as I talked last night [See Cabaret and Cocktails], performing with them, doing some stuff for their website, which is all done in spare time and literally just for fun. But to have a creative outlet that you normally wouldn\u2019t get in your regular working career. So that\u2019s the deal that I try to make with myself. Looking back on my career, the times that I was really afraid of playing a role \u2013 and this has happened more on stage than on film or television \u2013 the stage experiences that come in my mind as like breakthrough experiences for me as an actor were always roles that I was drawn to them, I understood a major emotional hook or a major part of the character that I understood right away. But then there were big parts of it that I was afraid of, and I knew I had to do the part. So there have been at least five times in my career in major theater roles were I was scared going and doing it. It could be a musical. The first time I did the lead in a musical after StarTrek ended, where I had to sing 16 songs on stage and dance and do all sorts of things that I hadn\u2019t done in 25 years, that was scary as . . . shhh (censoring himself for the children present). I know it\u2019s a family crowd. But I was really really scared. But It was fun for my children. My children grew up with me on StarTrek so that, when they saw me do a musical and sing and dance and do all these things they\u2019d never seen me do, they really thought that daddy was a one trick pony. Daddy wore a space suit and went like this, (lets his face drop a little and says in an almost monotone voice) \u2018Please state the nature of the medical emergency\u2019. To have dad singing and mixing it up, and making out with three different girls on stage, they were like, \u2018whoa! I guess <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">anybody<\/em> can really do anything!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Hmm, I\u2019m not sure where this topic came from, but I\u2019m glad I wrote it down! \u201cThat same episode where I was carrying the baby in the hallway, I have my first major briefing room scene. No, actually my second, because this is episode three. (Fishing for the episode name) The first episode that Woolsey was featured as the commander was the one with ah (makes a gesture with his hand like something is crawling on him, and someone shouts out<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>\u201cThe Seed!\u201d) \u2018The Seed\u2019! Thank you! This was \u2018Broken Ties\u2019. So after I conduct my briefing room scene, everyone leaves and I can\u2019t get the door to work. And it\u2019s so perfectly crystallized, this guys predicament. He\u2019s the new leader, and he\u2019s fine in the briefing room, but he doesn\u2019t know how anything works. He\u2019s still a fish out of water and I thought that was a very cute scene. They cut it a little short. As long as they\u2019re running the camera, and they\u2019ve given me an objective as an actor, I did at least 90 seconds of I-can\u2019t-get-out-the-door behavior. I literally tried everything, and then I went to the crack in the door and went, \u2018(calmly, quietly) Hello?\u2019 Which Joe loved, and it made it through every cut, and was finally taken out at the end. But it was this sort of lame kind of castrated, \u2018hello?\u2019 It really <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">really<\/em> was funny, but I guess it was a little too silly.\u201d Maybe it will be among the two segments of deleted scenes that will be on the season 5 DVDs! Unless they consider it to be a blooper and they aren\u2019t giving us any bloopers again. We shall see!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">By the way, Robert was handed a real baby in that episode. He said he wasn\u2019t really afraid because he has raised two kids of his own.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">A fan asked about the episode \u2018Remnants\u2019, and Robert went, \u201cyou mean the one with the woman who turned out not to be a woman? I don\u2019t mean it in <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">that <\/em>way! I mean she turned out to be an artificial intelligence, not a drag queen. Though they have pretty much the same results I guess, vise a vi Woolsey\u2019s interests. But that was great fun to do that because you got to see that he was lonely and that he didn\u2019t feel kind of entitled to ah . . . Once she started flirting with him he was a little confused by it and didn\u2019t know how to react. But then he sort of tries to step up to the plate. And I just thought there were a lot of cute moments in that. My pet moment, my favorite thing was the director let me add some gags. When I\u2019m in the room with this woman, the artificial intelligence, and only I can see her and only I can hear her, and she says things that I respond too but then I have to cover up my response for the sake of the other person watching. Remember that? There was one moment that I sold them on, where I\u2019m talking to<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>. . . arrrr . . . (clearly struggling for the name until someone shouts, \u201cShen Xiaoyi\u201d) Tamlyn Tomita, yeah, another great person to work with. But as she is standing up to me, telling me I\u2019m going to be fired, so I\u2019m angry with her, but then this other women who at that point I don\u2019t know what she is except that she\u2019s cute and I have the hots for her, keeps talking in the corner of the room. So one moment when she\u2019s saying something I went, \u201c(voice high and tight, with a hand flying up) PLEASE! (calmly smiling, trying to cover it,) sit down.\u2019 (Laughs) Which I thought was <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">just about<\/em> over the top, but pretty darn funny. You can always tell when you do something and you make the other actors laugh in the scene, you know you\u2019re on the right track. Unless they\u2019re laughing like, \u2018boy I can\u2019t believe he\u2019s that stupid!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Another fan asked about the transition of leadership from Sam Carter to Richard Woolsey that kind of pops up out of nowhere at the end of \u2018Search and Rescue\u2019. \u201cI was not a very gracious transition guy there when she came home, which bothered me but I think they wanted the fans to be shocked in a way, as she was. I know the truth behind it, that Amanda [Tapping] was going off to star in and produce her own TV series, so she was fine! (Laughs) But I think it made sense in the context of the series that because Atlantis was a science expedition and it had been founded with a civilian commander, they wanted to have a civilian commander. That\u2019s what distinguished the two Stargate series, right? In the beginning, SG-1 was really a military show, and then Atlantis was a science based show with a military support group, but it had a civilian leader. I thought that was part of the point of it, for the same season that Neal Armstrong put his foot on the moon first instead of Buzz Aldren because Neal was a civilian astronaut, not military. It\u2019s the image thing, right? So I think it made sense in the context of the show, and I was scared as an actor because Amanda is so wildly popular. Taking over for her I thought you guys would be ah . . . not welcoming, maybe. But you know what? In retrospect I was scared, when I started playing the Doctor [on Voyageur] I thought, \u2018this character is the Data of Voyageur\u2019 and Data was so wildly popular. \u2018Will I be constantly compared to Brent Spiner?\u2019 That never really happened because we were so different that even though we were reusing a lot of the same kind of story lines, a lot of entitlement issue stories that we did with artificial intelligence, that the same stories we did with Data with the Doctor, I think that we were such different characters that the audience accepted it. Either that or they had nothing else to do. \u201c<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Now I have a bunch of notes that are really out of context. I think I was trying to conserve my writing hand for the next guest. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Someone asked &#8211; and I\u2019m not sure if this is exactly how they put it but it\u2019s what I wrote &#8211; <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">\u201cHow is it to play a pain in the butt?\u201d <\/em><span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>Robert answered, \u201cI like to play flawed characters. The Doctor got to be arrogant, cranky, and cowardly. It\u2019s more fun than playing only positive qualities.\u201d You have to admit, he\u2019s good at helping you to like an unlikeable character!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">When he was on <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">China Beach<\/em>, Robert said he had to wear a taupe. \u201cI was afraid my daughter would think that all men come home and hang up their hair.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Robert said he was on <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Chuck <\/em>\u2013 whether it\u2019s an upcoming episode or it has already aired, I don\u2019t know. Roberts said he gets shot in the legs and dies, but he really likes the show!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Robert is also on <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Castle <\/em>\u2013 which I\u2019m fairly sure has not aired yet since I like to watch that show. He was requested specifically by Nathan Fillion, the star of <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Castle<\/em>, and he gets to play a forensic pathologist. The role is potentially reoccurring! Long live the Doctor!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">He was just on <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Person Unknown<\/em>, which he told us is not in North America yet. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Robert laughed about the season 5 cast photo, where everyone is walking away from the gate with tons of water splashing around everywhere. \u201cThe women look great, the men look great . . . and then there\u2019s me.\u201d <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>Apparently one such poster or banner was auctioned once, probably with several cast signatures on it, and it went for $700! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Finally, the infamous prank question came up. Robert said that he is not the best prank puller. All he does is change his lines during rehearsal to make jokes. He cited one instance on Voyageur when he was doing a scene with Jolene Blalock who played Seven Of Nine. <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>In this instance the line was supposed to be something like, \u201cyour biometrics are something of a mystery to me\u201d. Robert told us, \u201cIn rehearsal I said, \u201cyour body is something of a miracle to me.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">With that, Robert signed the stage banners and left. From the perspective of a Stargate fan <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">and<\/em> a StarTrek Voyager fan, it was a real treat to see him in person.\u00a0 For those who couldn&#8217;t see him in person, we have posted a news video tribute to this outstanding actor at the top of this report!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Next, how many times can a man go on a suicide mission and come back <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">alive?<\/em> Is that a trick question?
