Tag: Robert Carlyle

It’s fitting that SGU star Robert Carlyle directed the second-season episode “Pathogen” because his character, Dr. Rush, also took control of The Destiny – without informing Col. Everett Young (played by Louis Ferreira) that he was doing so. While Young notices that the good doctor’s behavior is a bit out of sorts, it isn’t until several episodes later that Young discovers Rush’s serious breach of protocol. Whether Rush’s actions were justified or not, it was a pivotal episode – and one Stargate fan has the opportunity to own a piece of Stargate history by wining the auction for the Icarus uniform Col. Young wore on-screen in the episode. Visit the Stargate page at VIP Fan Auctions to place your bid on this uniform – and other Stargate props, wardrobe and production items – today. But hurry – the auction ends soon!

With nine key players, the cast of Stargate Universe cast was as large as it was talented. For autograph seekers, however, this makes it difficult to track down the entire group for a complete set of signatures. Luckily – for one Stargate universe fan – VIP Fan Auctions is offering an amazing cast poster that has been hand-signed (see photo above) by Jamil Walker Smith (who also wrote “Do Your Laundry Sucka” for a truly one-of-a-kind poster), Ming-Na, Robert Carlyle, Elyse Levesque, Lou Diamond Phillips, Alaina Huffman, Brian J. Smith, David Blue and Louis Ferreira. It’s a truly outstanding piece of Stargate memorabilia that any fan will treasure for a lifetime – and it will only grow better with age (could you imagine owning a poster with all of the signatures of the cast of the original Star Trek, or even Babylon 5). The winner of this auction will own a piece of sci-fi history. Check out the details – as well as a number of unique screen-used props and wardrobe items – at VIP’s Stargate auction page.

Stargate Universe wardrobe designer Valerie Halverson isn’t coy about naming her favorite cast member to dress. The answer: Robert Carlyle, who played Dr. Rush.”He really appreciated that costume helped define his character,” Halverson says. “Because he had such a great personal style, it was always fun to come up with a costume for him. There is an interesting story about how his original costume (pictured above) came to be: Robert arrived in town for his first fitting and as we had had some dialogue he was prepared for what I had envisioned him wearing, which was a layered costume. It included pants, a short-sleeve T-shirt with a vest and a suede jacket. Since Robert arrived in jeans, he just kept them on, which we realized was a much better look than the pants I had made for him. I then explained that I had wanted to make a beautiful lining for his vest and what I came up with was piecing together silk to look like the surface of a planet. Robert embraced this idea so much that he had me make some pockets in the lining for his pencil and notepad and we both knew that the fans would be seeing it every episode. It was an homage to the sci-fi genre.”
