Julia benson tumblr8/18/2023 ![]() The important thing to me is to believe in what I am doing in life. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, and not every show is for everyone. You have to develop a thick skin to be in this business and take everything, compliments and criticism, with a grain of salt. They are the reason we’re on the air!! As far as the scrutiny goes I give it very little attention. JB: I am honored to be a part of a show and a genre that have such loyal fans. What’s it like to work with the eye of fandom upon you? SF fans are known both for their loyalty and scrutiny. GD: You’ve become associated with a very popular science fiction series. I don’t know if damsel in distress is up my alley I am more drawn to quirky characters in comedies. JB: It’s funny, I often play strong women but I have a ton of fun playing softer characters. GD: You seem to play a very strong part in SGU, would you ever want to play the damsel in distress? That being said, I have loved being a part of this world and am definitely into working in this genre again! I always want to play the opposite of what I just played. ![]() It’s important for me to always be challenged with new material. JB: I love working as an actor but I don’t want to be limited to one genre. GD: Would you mind if you started getting type-cast for sci-fi movies and TV? I definitely want to go to conventions as I am really looking forward to meeting some of our fans! I have been invited to a few but unfortunately the timing just hasn’t worked out. GD: Have you been to any of the Sci Fi Conventions? Do you plan on making the rounds to conventions from now on? ![]() Having some sense of stability as an actor is a good thing! It has definitely opened me up to the sci-fi genre and helped me generate some buzz, so I am grateful for that. JB: Stability! Stargate has been a great experience for me, it’s nice to come to a job that you love all the time. GD: Has anything changed for you since you started Stargate: Universe? (We take a month off in the summer.) So there were no conflicts at all! It can definitely be hard to work on other shows while filming SGU as you never know how many days you’re going to be working in each episode. It started shooting the day after our hiatus started. Julia Benson: Grim destiny for James, I hope not! But you’ll have to watch and see! I was very lucky with the timing of Earth’s Final Hours. GeekDad: Has Earth’s Final Hour or any other projects take you away from Stargate Universe? Could there be a grim “destiny” in store for Lt. Vanessa James on the fan-favorite sci-fi series SGU: Stargate Universe. Julia’s character is Chloe Edwards, a no-nonsense professional who works with the Science Division of the Defense Administration and is assigned to investigate a baffling anomaly.Currently however, she plays her popular role as 2nd Lt. ![]() The movie also stars Robert Knepper ( Prison Break). In case you haven’t heard already, she has just been cast as the female lead in Earth’s Final Hours, to be directed by David Hogan for Syfy. Once the Farscape bonus episode is done we will be returning to the regular Stargate shows beginning with the Atlantis episode “The Return” and Miles joined us for that.GeekDad recently had a chance to ask a few questions to the lovely Julia Benson from Stargate: Universe. It was just Alan and myself this week and next week we have the final bonus episode and we’ll be looking at Farscape, we’ll let you figure out the episode in question but it’s a good one so we hope you join us for that. The beauty of this episode is that we are left not quite knowing the actual truth, there is evidence that it’s all in his imagination but also we are presented with enough evidence to believe he is the victim of a conspiracy and fighting for his life. It could be that once alone his overactive imagination kicks in combined with the smothering of his mother and her talk of “quarantine” all comes to a head and this alien invasion emerges to pretty much ruin his day. Sick is a season two episode of The Haunting Hour and stars Garrett Ryan as Alex the young lad who talks to himself way too much, has rather bad personal habits and seems to be quite a handful and may be a little too pampered and spoiled for his own good. It may be a case of him being delusional thanks to the illness and medication or maybe everything that is happening is exactly what it appears to be, has an alien lifeform taken residence in his home, do the government know all about it and the messages coming from the tv are genuinely offering support and a lifeline is his battle to save the world. Here we are again for another bonus episode, we are paying a second visit to the world of RL Stine and The Haunting Hour series for the episode “Sick” which tells the tale of a young lad who is feeling under the weather and finds himself alone in his home as some strange events take place in and around the house. ![]()
