COLONEL YOUNG – LOUIS FERREIRA
“[In Young and Rush] you have two people who absolutely need and rely on one another and who can’t get back home without each other. That’s obviously creating great friction and conflict.” – Louis Ferreira

Playing Colonel Everett Young is no easy task, and in the latest issue of The Official Stargate Magazine, actor Louis Ferreria reveals the reasons behind his character’s conflict with scientist Nicholas Rush, the life Young had before his time aboard the Destiny, and why he wants to be like Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice.

EXPANDING THE UNIVERSE – ANDY MIKITA
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world; I’ve been given the opportunity to shoot the pilot and finish the season as well.” – Andy Mikita

Andy Mikita has been in the Stargate business for over a decade, having started as a first assistant director on Stargate SG-1’s Children of the Gods. Mikita is now director and co-producer of Stargate Universe, and in an exclusive interview with The Official Stargate Magazine, he tells us about shooting his episodes, from the Vancouver soundstages to the deserts of Mexico, and everything else in-between.

LT. VANESSA JAMES – JULIA BENSON
“We did some amazing training at the start, including with firearms. I had never fired a gun before or even held one. It was intense and I loved it.” – Julia Benson

After a guest spot on Stargate Atlantis, Julia Benson jumped at the chance to play series regular Lt. Vanessa James on Stargate Universe. We sit down and chat with Benson about what it’s like to play the tough Lieutenant with a softer side, shooting the “epic” season opener Air, and the physical attraction between her character and Lt. Matthew Scott.
