Michael Shanks becomes the voice of “Local Custom”
\nAn excerpt from the article by Marla R. Reed, syndicated to Stargate SG-1 Solutions, 14 Feb 05<\/strong><\/p>\n

Actor Michael Shanks recently embarked on a new project in his career, a career that includes successful forays into classical theater, television and film work. His latest project is as narrator of the soon to be released Audio Novel version of the SF\/Romance novel “Local Custom.”<\/p>\n

“Local Custom,” which is the first of the seven books set in the Liaden Universe\u00ae written by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, tells a tale of Master trader Er Thom who knows the local custom of his people is to take a bride from a high Liaden family and provide his most revered clan Korval with a worthy heir. Yet a woman not of his culture or even of his world has captured his heart, a woman whom he discovers has borne his child and for which Er Thom is willing to risk his honor and reputation to be with.<\/p>\n

As a narrator of “Local Custom,” Michael Shanks joins the ranks of other fellow “Stargate SG-1” cast members who have done audio novels before him. Ben Browder, who is joining the regular cast in season 9 as Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell, narrated “Interlopers” written by Alan Dean Foster, and veteran “Stargate SG-1” actor Tony Amendola, who plays recurring character Master Bra’tac, co-narrated “An Unfinished Life” written by Mark Spragg.<\/p>\n

Did they have any advice for Shanks going into this project?<\/p>\n

“Tony Amendola, who I respect tremendously as an actor, was telling me \u2018don\u2019t do that, I\u2019m telling you don\u2019t do it\u2019,” Shanks says with a gentle laugh.<\/p>\n

However Michael Shanks is also quick to inform you that he is a man who knows and accepts about himself that telling him NOT to do something is the quickest way to get him to do it or make him want to try it.<\/p>\n

“And I said ‘Wow – Tony saying that\u2026’ That\u2019s something. I better go do that cause I wanna see what he\u2019s talking about and I certainly found out the hard way.”<\/p>\n
