Quotes

Paul McGillion: Working with David Hewlett has been a tremendous experience. I just love working with David; we have a really great chemistry acting-wise on the show and he's become such a good friend of mind as well, so that's something else that I'll treasure. (edit)
Paul McGillion: (Speaking of his character, Carson Becket, from the SciFi show Stargate Atlantis) He's a great character. It's been a pleasure to play a Scottish character in a sci-fi series. It's nice to be able to portray a little bit of the heritage and hopefully do it justice. This is my first major role as a Scottish character. He's such a multi-dimensional character and they really fleshed him out thoroughly throughout the three years. I'm very happy about that. (edit)
Paul McGillion: Obviously I'm a big fan of SG-1 and the talented cast. I just hope Atlantis will enjoy the same level of success and continue to keep the audiences entertained. (edit)
Paul McGillion: I am one of seven children - I had to act to stand out and get noticed, not to mention fed and clothed!! (edit)
Paul McGillion: (Speaking of Stargate Atlantis ) The pilot was such a great experience for me and it was such a pleasure to have those terrific lines to say. Richard Dean Anderson and Michael Shanks were just wonderful to work with and extremely supportive. I don't feel any pressure to be "good", but I do hope the fans embrace "Carson". (edit)

Superb
"Underrated"
One of the more memorable actors out there and still, it seems so few know it! Truly an actor to watch out for, and someone who is definitely going places, as long as there are those willing to open doors for him.
