Catching Up with Brian J. Smith

Now that the first season of Stargate Universe has finished filming (but not airing!), the show’s actors are busy with new projects. Brian J. Smith returned to his Twitter account to announce that he’s landed a role in the UK production Agatha Christie’s Poroit, which will be shot in London this month.

The episode is derived from the famous Murder on the Orient Express, but Smith didn’t say which role he’ll be playing. You can read more about the show at their ITV website.

Smith also made the announcement that he’ll be attending the Chevron 7.4 convention next year. This past weekend, his fellow cast-mate David Blue made his appearance at the Chevron 7.3 convention held in Northampton, England (along with Torri Higginson, Corin Nemec, and Rainbow Sun Francks). Blue responded to Smith’s tweet by telling him, “You’ll have a blast. The people are great.”

A second season for SGU has not been officially announced, but if it were to be given the “go”, the actors will return to the sets in March following the 2010 Winter Olympics, which are being held in Vancouver where SGU is filmed. In the meantime, new episodes of Stargate Universe are being aired, the next being Robert C. Cooper’s “Time”.
