David Hewlett as Dr. Rodney McKay (MGM)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Stargate<\/em> star David Hewlett<\/a> has joined fellow SGA star Jewel Staite<\/a> as a guest blogger at Blastr, formerly known as Sci Fi Wire. Visit My ‘hilariously unhappy’ life as Dr. Rodney McKay<\/a> for his first post.<\/p>\n

Highlights:<\/p>\n

I thought I might start by introducing myself, but then I realized that if you don’t know who I am (star of film & television\u2014legend in my own mind), then I’m not sure I want you hanging about. The reality is that any highly intelligent, attractive, world-changing, leader-types should already be following me on Twitter!<\/p>\n

Then again, who am I to pass up an opportunity to talk about myself …<\/p>\n

A lot of hair ago, I showed up on the set of Stargate SG1. Thanks to some fantastic writing and the support and patience of the lovely and talented Amanda Tapping, I became Doctor Rodney McKay. Rodney’s snarcastic genius and lack of social skills seem to have appealed to a lot of people. I like to think that McKay is what a grumpy Grover would look like in the role of C-3PO. Rodney showed up for another episode or two of SG1 and then went on to five wild and wonderful years on the hit show Stargate: Atlantis. During the run of SGA I wrote and directed my first feature film A Dog’s Breakfast. I married my wife Jane (twice in fact). My son Sebastian (“Baz” as we insist on calling him) was born the day after we wrapped season 4 (I was still peeling pieces of 10,000 year old Rodney McKay makeup off my face while Jane was in labour). I am Stargate’s biggest fan for life.<\/p>\n

In the hopes of having something to complain about in future blogs I welcome any and all questions (that I like) right here on Blastr. And I also welcome you all to follow me on Twitter, where I do my utmost to make my mind-numbingly dull life sound wildly interesting and potentially life threatening … try me!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hewlett’s Twitter is at http:\/\/twitter.com\/dhewlett<\/a>. Here at Solutions, we have a David Hewlett homepage<\/a>, and you can always follow his conversations on Twitter via our Stargate Twitter Superfeed<\/a>. Make sure to watch Stargate Universe<\/em> when it returns to Syfy in the spring to see Dr. Rodney McKay in action once again in the episode 2.15 “Seizure”<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
