Meanwhile, our friends at Michael Shanks Online tell us that the newest round of Stargate SG-1 action figures, featuring Cameron Mitchell, Vala Mal Doran, an Ori Prior and Black Ops Daniel are now on sale. Coming soon from Diamond Select Toys, who also produce a range of Stargate: Atlantis action figures, will be a further range of SG-1 figures, including camouflage-clad Jack O'Neill and Daniel Jackson.
"So I started watching, and lo and behold, I'm watching for good reason, because it ended up being homework for what I was going to be involved with."
That's Michael Shanks, talking about his upcoming role on hit show 24, where he takes a break from stepping through the Stargate as archaeologist Daniel Jackson to travel the corridors of power as Washington lobbyist Mark Bishop. Shanks reveals some spoilers about his role on the show in this interview, so if you don't want to know in advance, tune in for his first scenes next Monday (April 23rd) rather than clicking on the link below.
