More With Christopher Judge

This is more with my Podcast interview with Christopher Judge.
Christopher Judge
"Tim Guinee's character in Ark Of Truth represents the everyman and what happens when you do follow blindly. Us as human beings, I think we all at one time feel disenfranschised. When you are accepted into something, I think that human nature is that we do follow blindly. Bu that journey is so well represented through Tim's character. He does a fanatastiuc job in the movie. He's fabulous."
On Stargate's cancellation
"For many years, we would negotiate one year contracts because we thought every year was our last year. Then in season nine, Ben (Browder), Claudia (Black) then Beau (Bridges) came on.Then we had Lou (Gossett Jr) on. We had once again go on with a ratings boom. So for the first time since the pilot, we negotiated two year contracts. We truly believed we would go eleven seasons then probably end the show and start doing the movies. When we got cancelled we were the network's highest rated show. It really blind sided us. That's why season ten felt so unfinished because we didn't think it was going to be the end. We thought there was going to be a season eleven."
On the 200th episode
"That was the most fun I have ever had in my career. That's the honest truth I had more fun than I have ever had in this business. It was so infectous. Every department with the builds that they had to do. Not only set wise but wardrobe wise, make-up wise. They basically had to do all of that in a week or two. But everyone was so happy doing it. They took such joy in it. The Wizard Of Oz scene, they literally worked twenty four seven on the costumes and the make-up. There was no grumbling about being tired. People who had never been on set came down to watch the different viganettes that we did. That week was the best week of any show I have ever done.I kidded Ben and Claudia about the Farscape spoof. They're very protective of Farscape They really weren't gung ho about it. The had both gone up to talk to Rob Copper and Brad Wright about it. "You know how much fun are you going to poke at Farscape ? As we got closer, you could see that they were getting into it. Browder was like a little kid. Actually Browder is always like a little kid.(Laughs) It was fantastic. I almost didn't want to take a paycheck that week. But I got over it. (Laughs)"
