Stargate Universe star Robert Carlyle received the BAFTA Scotland award last night for “Best Performance in Television for a Male” for his role in The Unloved.
This quote comes from Guide and Gazette:
“It’s lovely, it’s a fantastic thing, I was saying earlier on to people, I mean, ten years ago, to be honest with you, you wouldn’t have thought too much of this, it was always nice to get a wee-kind of nod – but the quality of the nominations now is just getting higher and higher.”
In this article from Daily Express, Carlyle indicated that he’ll be in Vancouver this coming March to film the second season of Universe. It hasn’t been officially announced that the show has been renewed, but the producers and writers are preparing anyway by laying out the groundwork in story and character arcs for the first half of the second season. Carlyle, who has been in the news recently concerning his dissatisfaction with the British film industry, has expressed interest in directing some of the show’s episodes.
