SCI FI WIRE<\/a> talked with Stargate SG-1<\/em> star Ben Browder last week in Vancouver, and the actor shared some of his experiences filming in the Arctic for the direct-to-DVD movie Stargate: Continuum<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Browder’s adventurous spirit comes through in his relating of what it was like to share a “plywood box” with other men in the crew, including co-star Richard Dean Anderson: “Me and Martin [Wood] and Richard Dean Anderson and the naval captain of the base and a guy who works for the CIA were in this plywood hut, stacked on bunk beds in sleeping bags, and the bathroom facilities were two port-a-potties. At 35 below [zero], a port-a-potty is an interesting experience.”<\/p>\n

Although the experience in the Arctic was full of fun, there were also serious dangers: extremely low temperatures and polar bears. Browder relates how he had to use a flashlight before ever leaving his hut at night, “To look for eyes. You’re looking for polar bears. Polar bears are a real threat up there. They are the top of the food chain, they eat people, and they can outrun you. When they come to town, they’re looking for food, because no one’s outside. We were all inside, huddled up, because it’s 50 below outside.”<\/p>\n
