Exclusive Interview: Stargate Universe's Alaina Huffman Discusses Relationships and Babies at Comic Con



July 24, 2010

Both on screen and off, Alaina Huffman, star of Stargate Universe is a soldier. As Lt. Tamara Johansen, Huffman plays the compassionate and very pregnant love interest of Colonel Everett Young (Justin Louis). However, what most people don’t realize is that Huffman was not just “acting” the part of a pregnant woman. Her off-screen pregnancy was actually scripted into the story.

In this interview, Huffman discusses her role as Lt. Tamara Johansen as well as Stargate Universe Season 2 and her relationships Camile Wray (Ming-Na) and Young. She also discusses what it was like to be covered in blood makeup, while she was pregnant.

EXCLUSIVE Stargate Universe Video Interviews – Day Five

09/07/2010

Season one of Stargate Universe hits DVD and Blu-ray this week and, to celebrate, we’re hosting an exclusive series of interviews with the cast filmed on the set of the Destiny!

For your final batch of interviews we have another video from the charming Lou Diamond Phillips, this time discussing what it’s like to work with the rest of the Stargate Universe cast. Keeping him company is Alaina Huffman – the Destiny’s reluctant doctor rather fittingly sitting in the infirmary to discuss her character, and wearing an outfit we’ll probably never see Tamara Johansen (TJ for short) wearing on the show… alas!

Interview: Alaina Huffman and Jamil Walker Smith

June 1, 2010

by James Rundle

SciFiNow had the opportunity to sit down for a one-on-one interview (or should that be two-on-two?) with Stargate Universe stars Jamil Walker Smith and Alaina Huffman, while covering the London MCM Expo last weekend. Naturally, we were happy to...



A brief excerpt:

Can you talk about the second season at all?

AH: "Well, we do have a resurgence of the Lucian Alliance, and they stick around for a bit in the second season. And there’s more Stargate action. Lots of aliens."

Lots of aliens?

JWS: "I’d say we kind of start to figure out why we’re on the ship."

AH: "That’s true."

JWS: "So if you’re a fan of the show, that’s interesting. We spent the whole first season not wanting to be there..."

Alaina Huffman Talks Stargate Universe

Friday, May 28, 2010
Written by Melody Simpson



As we reach the end of the first season of Stargate Universe, one of the show's stars, Alaina Huffman sat down to answer some questions for Hollywood the Write Way about her character, destiny, faith, and more.

A brief excerpt:

Who would you like TJ to connect with more on Destiny?

AH: "I like all of the relationships that she has and I definitely feel like all of them can connect more. She definitely has a history with Young, especially now with the baby...I love the fun, sweet girlfriend moments between James, Park, Chloe, and Camile. Then TJ has her connection with her air force buddy, Scott. Then Rush is just Rush...I don't think he knows how to have a relationship with anyone. (laughs)..."

TV Junkie Interview: Alaina Huffman of Syfy's 'Stargate Universe'



Alaina Huffman (@alainahuffman) plays 1st Lt. Tamara "TJ" Johansen on the Syfy channel's hit series, "Stargate Universe" aka "SGU" to those in the know. You have also seen Huffman as the Black Canary in The CW's "Smallville" for the past couple seasons. Huffman splits her time between the Vancouver soundstage where "SGU" is shot and Los Angeles. We had a chance to check in with her before the upcoming season finale. "SGU" airs on Fridays on Syfy at 9pm and will resume next week.



A brief excerpt:

The TV Junkie: Who from the cast have you learned the most from?

Alaina Huffman: "Oh, that's a great question. I draw so much from them all individually. There is such a sense of respect among all the actors and we genuinely all enjoy each other's company and we actually hang out quite a bit, to the extent that last season one of the producers told us to take a break from each other, "you don't have to hang out with each other every weekend" - and we're like "really, because we really like to!" So we spent quite a bit of time with each other when we were back in LA.

That being said, Robert Carlyle is such a great actor, and such a character actor - you learn so much from him. He actually directed the first episode of season two, so I was really excited to work with him because I thought if I worked with him as a director I could understand how he works as an actor. Also, Louis Ferreira, he could not be further from his character, he is so funny and easy going and loving and genuine, he's really not that stuffy Colonel Young that he plays - he does all these character voices, he's very entertaining. Ming-Na, Elyse Levesque, are such stand-up people, they're so much fun to work with. They're all such a great group, I really draw from everyone..."

Alaina Huffman on the 'Stargate Universe' Season Finale, Season Two, and More

by Mike Moody, posted May 21st 2010



Life is tough aboard Destiny, the wandering spaceship that's home to the crew of Syfy's 'Stargate Universe.' The food is bad, the morale is low, and there's always a chance that a gang of creepy blue aliens will attack the ship or kidnap you from your quarters.

Life is even tougher for Tamara Johansen, aka T.J., played by Alaina Huffman. She's the ship's only medic, she had an affair with her commanding officer, and she's also pregnant. That last storyline came about due to Huffman's real-life pregnancy (she had a baby girl last December), which the 'SGU' team decided to work into the show.

I spoke with Huffman recently about T.J.'s pregnancy, the fan reaction to the show, and about what we could expect from the first season finale and the upcoming second season of 'SGU.' Click through for the goods, and to find out if she plans to slip back into that tight leather costume again to play Black Canary on 'Smallville.'


A brief excerpt:

Are you satisfied with how the season ends and what do you think fans will think about the finale?

AH: "I think they'll be pleased. There's some 'Stargate' mythology, and I think the fans will like that. There's stuff that blows up and there's guns that fire, so I think that will please the fans. And then more than that, I think because we did the work to develop the characters and the relationships, all of those things pay off when things blow up. And when we travel through the gate, it's not just about traveling through the gate. It's about "why are these people traveling through the gate to do this?" And that's the depth you get because we've developed the characters..."

Stargate Universe - Joseph Mallozzi's Blog: Alaina Huffman Answers Your Questions!

From Joseph Mallozzi's blog update for May 16, 2010:

(Please follow the link for the complete MASSIVE blog update.)

Actress Alaina Huffman Answers Your Questions!



As I always do, I forwarded the fan/reader questions with the understanding that work and other commitments would probably prevent a quick turnaround. “Here are the questions,”went my standard accompanying message. ”Feel free to pick and choose among them, then send them back my way whenever you’re done. No rush and no deadline.” The next day, I received the following missive from actress Alaina Huffman: “I have a bunch answered, gonna take a break but didn’t want to lose any so am passing on what I have answered and will get the rest tomorrow night!” She’d already answered half the questions! I marveled over the quick turnaround. Her response: “Moms. We multi-task ;) “. Oh, yeah. I forgot. This was the woman who twitters through the birth of her last child.

Anyway, what can I say about Alaina? Well, the word “awesome” comes to mind. Awesome in her onscreen ability to convey immense strength and depth of character in something as simple as a single line or look. Awesome in her relaxed and upbeat off-screen attitude that instantly puts everyone around her at ease. Just all-around awesome.

Over to Alaina and her smilerific (this has gotta be a record!) Q&A ...



A brief excerpt:

E writes: “First of all, you have been absolutely brilliant with TJ’s pregnancy storyline. I really feel for the character. What aspect of your character do you like the most?”

AH: Thanks :) I love the fullness of the Character. I love that she is allowed to be unsure yet still possesses strength. I have learned a lot from her in my personal life, how to be strong and can take charge yet ask for help and be ok with the fact that you don’t have all the answers!

“How similar are you and TJ?”

AH: Like I said I have learned a lot from her but I don’t think we are very similar.

“What’s your favourite episode in S1 and why?”

AH: I loved the episode “Time” cause it was amazing ;)

Alaina Huffman Video Interview STARGATE UNIVERSE and Kino 25: Drop the Sirs

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub
Posted: May 14th, 2010

If you’re a fan of Stargate Universe, you’re going to enjoy my video interview with Alaina Huffman. That’s because unlike a typical junket interview that lasts four to five minutes and you can only scratch the surface, yesterday afternoon I sat down with 1st Lt. Tamara Johansen (who she plays on SGU) for an extended interview. During our conversation she talked about how things are going on season two and what it’s really like on set, conventions, Comic-Con, twitter, being a series regular for the first time, what happened when she told the producers she was pregnant, and I also asked some questions people sent me on twitter. If you’re watching SGU, you’re going to like the behind the scenes stories.

Also, the folks at MGM have given me a new Kino to premiere and it’s the 25th one called “Drops the Sirs”. The Kino is a conversation between Greer (Jamil Walker Smith) and Scott (Matthew Scott) and it concerns a recent episode where someone was left on a planet. [This kino video at the link above.]

SGU's hot doc has got some spoilers for you

By Patrick Lee
ON 05/14/10



Syfy's Stargate Universe has amped up the action and taken the story into intriguing directions in the second half of the first season, and smokin' hot star Alaina Huffman (who plays Lt. Tamara Johansen) teased us with the adventures to come in an exclusive interview.

SGU airs Fridays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Huffman also talked a bit about her return appearance tonight on The CW's Smallville, reprising the role of Dinah Lance/Black Canary, in the season finale that airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

A brief excerpt:

It was notable right from the start of the second half of the season that the action and adventure element of the show had really been amped up. Was that a deliberate choice, you think?

Huffman: The season itself was completed almost by the time we aired. We wrapped October 28th, and it aired October 3rd. ... So, yes, I think the intent was to introduce the characters, develop the characters, and then put them to work. And that seems to be the way that it's gone.

EXCLUSIVE: Alaina Huffman Talks Smallville and Stargate Universe Season Finales

May 13th, 2010



... Finally, since SyFy is currently airing the final season one episodes of Stargate Universe and the actress has already shot most of season two, we asked her to give us a sneak peak at what fans can expect going into this season's finale and leading up into the second season of the show.

"Right now I think Sabotage just aired and so every week is a big sort of, what's going on?" Huffman explained. "Then we go to another planet and there is that subplot of all of us being on the ship, all of us getting along and living together. The first season was really about how do we get home? The second season is more involved with life on the ship and it's not really about trying to get home because we don't know if we are going to get home? So now we're about a third through the way of shooting the second season and some great stuff is going to happen. The Lucian Alliance will make an appearance so we've got little hints of the Stargate past integrated into season one and going into season two..."
