Close Up: Kavan Smith
October 6, 2008 (Actors)
Who can imagine the City of Atlantis without Maj. Evan Lorne? Kavan Smith talks about the character that he has quite literally made his own.
A brief excerpt:
... As Stargate Atlantis has continued, viewers have seen more and more of Lorne. Season four’s “Tabula Rasa” even managed to showcase what a scary character the soldier could be if he wanted – certainly an eye opener!
“I found him a bit scary too,” admits the actor. “I think that was the one episode where he sort of went military, straight-up soldier boy. I guess trying to combat whatever it is wiping everybody’s minds would be a really nerve-wracking thing. You wipe the slate clean and you have no idea who you are or where you are. The one thing that he does know is that he’s a soldier. Even if he doesn’t remember his training or how he got there, he identifies that he’s in this outfit and he’s got a gun, so that gives him a bit of a crutch. It would be terrifying to not know who you are all of a sudden. So this guy is not going to have a sense of humor, he’s going to be very paranoid, he’s going to be very sketchy and uppity.”
Thankfully, Lorne was soon returned to normal – ready to continue protecting Atlantis and her occupants into season five.
