Robert Picardo, who made a memorable guest appearance
in two episodes of this season's Stargate SG-1, told SCI FI Wire
that he has been asked back to reprise the character of
investigative lawyer Woolsey next year. "I appeared twice on
Stargate, and they've contacted me about some more," Picardo said in
an interview.
This
year, Picardo played Woolsey, who works for Senator (and now Vice
President) Kinsey, played by Ronny Cox. "He has his mind turned
around and starts to feel that maybe he's been the henchman of an
evil character," Picardo said. "So I'm about to turn on my original
employer and investigate him. What's fun is, it's always nice to
play a sympathetic character, especially to go from a character who
seems to be very creepy and evil at first, and then to have his
conscience transformed. It's been a nice journey so far."
Picardo, best known for playing the Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager,
said he's pleased that the guest shot may turn into something more
recurring. "I think they like me," he said. "And I certainly like
them. They're a great cast. And they apparently have wanted to have
me on for some time, so it was nice that it worked out. And I think
they like the fact that they can give me seven pages of solid
dialogue and a shooting day, and I manage. ... That old [Star Trek]
technobabble brain of mine is still functioning."
At the Seattle Creation Convention, Picardo told
Stargate's Amanda Tapping that he had been contacted by the show's
producers and would be making several appearances in Season 8.
