NCIS Exclusive: Lance Henriksen Cops Sheriff Role

Jan 23, 2009 by Matt Mitovich

If you need an intense local sheriff to help Gibbs & Co. work a case, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better fit for the meaty role than Lance Henriksen. Awesomely, that's precisely who NCIS has nabbed to guest-star on the hit series later this season, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively ...

~~**~~**

I realize that NCIS is not a scifi show -- however, it is a very enjoyable series. In fact, in some ways, it is somewhat similar to classic Stargate SG-1 (seasons one through eight).

For example:

Stargate SG-1 - Team Leader: Jack O‘Neill (Richard Dean Anderson)NCIS - Team Leader: Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon)
Military - Air ForceEx-Military - Marine
Grey haired foxGrey haired fox
Sarcastic but a dazzling smileSarcastic and a great smile

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

An exclusive extract from an interview with David Hewlett (Rodney McKay), featuring in issue #26 of Stargate Magazine…

A brief excerpt of the extract:



Stargate Magazine: Let’s talk about The Shrine. What an amazing episode!
David Hewlett: It’s really good. It was obviously a very McKay-centric script, as I think they all should be! Having said that, Brad Wright is great at writing for everybody, all his scripts have really nice moments – I think the Ronon moment was really nice. There were some really good opportunities for the rest of the cast to get in on that whole losing McKay thing, which you would think would be a happy thing! Other than the video footage stuff, I didn’t have much to say. Poor Keller ended up doing all the exposition.

Celebrate Valentine's Day early with "Love you to Death": A Valentine Murder Mystery

We welcome you to our annual fundraising event at the Four Seasons Hotel. The gala Valentine's dinner features an entertaining evening of murder mystery, and this year, will be hosted by Actor/Executive Producer, Amanda Tapping of Sanctuary and Stargate fame.

Though few realize that a Montessori education extends into the elementary years, it has been praised as one of those hidden gems in education- North Star offers one of the best deals in private school education in the city, plus the method's benefits are immeasurable. Over 100 years old, Montessori is highly effective and is very respectful of the child, fostering self-directed and passionate exploration.

The children who come out of such a program demonstrate good leadership skills, work well both independently and with others and share a genuine desire to learn throughout their school years. Google.com co-founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, credit their years as Montessori students as a major factor behind their success.

Fans can also bid on the eBay auction, beginning February 6th, for a Stargate jacket worn by Amanda, as well as a for a personal online Skype chat with Amanda. More details forthcoming on this page in upcoming weeks.
