Exclusive Interview: FADPOV Talks With Ryan Robbins (Part 2)

FADPOV: What’s the craziest costume you’ve ever had to wear on the set?

Ryan: Wow. Probably not the craziest but the most intense and least comfortable costume was when we shot the first episode of the mini series for Battlestar Galactica. I played the old man and it took six hours in prosthetics to age me. To have the walk and the suit… those suits are really tight!

Ladon’s costume in Atlantis. I mean, god bless the costume department, but it’s one of the most uncomfortable costumes ever.

FADPOV: Finally, from all the actors you’ve over the years, who has kind of stood out as being the most genuine?

Ryan: Edward James Olmos is a shining example of how to behave on set. He’s an icon! He is a great mentor, he is incredibly loving and kind, and he cares very much about whatever projects he’s working on. Every time I’ve met him and spoken to him he’s been absolutely lovely. He commands respect, and gives you the opportunity to be respected, but at the same time he has no problem expressing his displeasure in something because he doesn’t do it in a petulant way. He does it in a very dignified way.

As far as great guys, everyone will tell you about David Hewlett and Paul McGillion. And I would say that my personal experience with each and every one of the cast and crew of Battlestar Galactica is exceptional, more so than any show I’ve ever worked on. Everybody. The Stargate Atlantis guys are also just awesome.
