\"\"<\/a>Noted SciFi reporter Steve Eramo recently interviewed David Hewlett at Eramo’s site, SciFiAndTVTalk<\/a>. David spoke at length about his great experience filming a small role on Rise of the Planet of the Apes<\/a><\/em>, the much-anticipating film opening world-wide on August 5. He chats about the film he shot in Bulgaria last year, Morlocks<\/em>, and the hissy fit he threw on set when they wanted to shoot a cannon-load of bloody sponges at his face. He insisted they do it to a stunt man first and felt vindicated when it didn’t work correctly. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Perhaps most interesting was what David had to say about guest-starring on Stargate Universe<\/em><\/a>. David had given an interview prior to his guest spot in which he’d joked that he wasn’t watching SGU because they were eating his sandwiches, likely a reference to the craft services food that’s served on sets. Well the SGU actors had read the quote, and it affected David’s reception on set:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s interesting is when I first got on the set I definitely felt a little weirdness from people. Like we first did when we started on Atlantis<\/strong>, this cast got a lot of flack at the time about the fact that they had replaced Atlantis<\/strong>, and they were in a much tougher situation because they did replace Atlantis<\/strong>. We didn\u2019t replace SG-1<\/strong>. As I had to keep saying over and over again, we were a complement to SG-1<\/strong> throughout the same time. They got a good two more years out of that show while were on at the same time, right?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I picked up a little bit of initial weirdness on the SGU <\/strong>set. They were all very sweet and very nice and very welcoming, but I definitely felt that they weren\u2019t sure how I felt about things. One day I was doing a scene with Lou Diamond Phillips [Colonel David Telford], and in-between takes he said to me, \u2018So, you don\u2019t mind us eating your sandwiches anymore.\u2019 I was like, \u2018What?\u201d and Lou jokingly said, \u2018I read that in an interview. Everyone knows what you said.\u2019 In an interview I\u2019d said, being typically Hewlett, that I hadn\u2019t as yet watched SGU <\/strong>because they were eating my sandwiches.\u00a0 It was a joke. With me it\u2019s all about the food – food and resentment – and Lou called me on it. I said to him, \u2018Wait a sec. You guys have to understand that we talk like that with one another about each other and our own show. That\u2019s just our thing.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

All ended well, but it’s very interesting to have this insight from David on how actors from the two shows interpreted what was going on.<\/p>\n
