Finding her calling early, Regina's Elyse Levesque takes on the universe — Stargate Universe

REGINA — Let’s be honest. Most people are fortunate to find their calling, period. To find it at all is a wonderful thing. To find it before you are a teenager is a blessing. “And that’s exactly how I feel,” Elyse Levesque says with a magazine-cover smile. “I feel blessed.”
The future cast member of the science-fiction television series Stargate Universe found her calling when she was 11 years old, and while she probably could not articulate it at the time, she understood, inherently, that her destiny was to stand in front of the cameras, making truth out of lies, bringing incredible stories to life as an actress. “It was almost as though I had no choice,” she says. “It was not a conscious decision. It happened because it was meant to happen. I really and truly believe that...”
The Stargate Universe experience has been “trial by fire,” as she puts it, and while Levesque is still a rookie in many respects, she is encouraged by evidence that her comfort zone is expanding. “It’s getting larger, for sure. It’s certainly larger than it was at this time last year,” she says. “This television series is the most significant thing I have ever been part of, one of the first big steps for me.”
