BEAU BRIDGES INTERVIEW
Friday, April 11
by Captain
Beau Bridges is a legend. The fact that we can speak to him at SCI FI PI is astounding. Son of Hollywood legend Lloyd Bridges, brother of Jeff Bridges, Beau has won so many acting awards over his illustrious career and garnered such a reputation that it boggles the mind to think that he actually plays a character on a Sci Fi show. But not only that, he loves it!
Playing General Hank Landry in the last two seasons of Stargate; SG1, and in the new Stargate DVD films, The Ark of Truth and Continuum, he has garnered a new set of fans who have responded enthusiastically to the steadfast military man with a twinkle in his eye. He spoke with us about Stargate, the people who work there and how to succeed in 'the family business'.

Q: Working on a show like Stargate, cast members do tend to form friendships. Was their someone that you 'bonded' with, with whom you were astonished to find yourself hanging out?
BB: "Well, I felt really great with all the cast. They're all wonderful in their own way. I think the person that I got closest to was Ben, because we lived nearby and our families got to know each other. But they were all great, Chris Judge, the comedian of the group, had all of us in stitches, Amanda (Tapping) was wonderful, Michael (Shanks), they were all really top notch folks. It all really starts from the top. Brad Wright and Bob Cooper are just super show runners and really talented writers in their own right. And then Rob got into directing, which he did on Ark of Truth, where he did a great job."
MORE STARGATE
Q: With The Ark of Truth, the SG1 Ori storyline comes to an end, and in a sense, SG1 the series. Did you ever start pestering Rob and Brad about some 'unfinished adventures' that General Hank Landry may have yet to come. A spinoff, perhaps - Stargate: Landry - The Untold Stories?
BB: "General Landry Goes To Australia! (laughs). Well, I think that even with these last movies, Rob and Brad always leave the door open a crack, to allow for the possibility of giving the fans more. I've recently been to a couple of conventions and I'm amazed at just how faithful people are to the show. I wouldn't be surprised that after these two DVDs come out (Ark of Truth, Continuum) and if they do well, there may be some more. So even though the Ori arc was tied up, who knows what's waiting out there in space?"
