gate con: actors

(terrible picture, i know, but its the best i could get with my camera...) joe flanigan and david hewlett, both stars from stargate atlantis, share some stories from life on the set and answer some fan questions. these two guys were hilarious! they worked so well together and have a great chemistry together. their stories and perspectives on the stargate fanchise were really interesting and very very funny!
dan shea, one of the other guests, worked as a secondary character on stargate sg-1 and was also the stunt double for richard dean anderson. he also was anderson's stunt double on macguyver, so we got to hear some pretty funny stories about that famous mullet! this guy is really hyperactive and puts on a really funny show as he shares his stories!
michael shanks, who played daniel jackson on the original stargate sg-1, was the big guest of the day. he came out and shared some great stories and answered questions. it was interesting because you could get a definite sense that he had a love/hate relationship with the show and didnt shy away from some of the problems he faced.
after his time talking, michael shanks walked over to the four banners across the stage and signed each of them by his picture. these banners were sold during the auction earlier in the day and went for quite a lot of money!
