Casting news for Stargate Atlantis, Season 2 SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
This news story contains SPOILERS related to the programme, programmes and/or episode(s) mentioned in the headline/news category. You have been warned.
Gateworld reports that the role of Michael, a Wraith who was captured by the Atlantis team in the upcoming Season 2 episode of the same name – will not be played by former Star Trek Enterprise star Connor Trinneer in the season finale for Atlantis.
Writer and co-producer Martin Gero explains that "The character Michael was always intended to be a very big part of the season end arc -- an idea that was reinforced by how wicked Connor Trinneer [was in 'Michael']" But due to personal reasons, Trinneer was unable to reprise the role.
In the season finale, ‘Allies’, the role of Michael will instead be played by Brent Stait, who has appeared on Stargate SG-1, and who also appeared in Andromeda as "Rev Bem".
