Everything Is Stargate: (#5) Wreck-It Ralph

Published 15 February 2015 by Jason Crane

My favorite TV show is Stargate SG-1. I’m also a big fan of Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe, and the original Stargate movie. Given how many episodes of those shows there were, I’ve noticed that nearly every English-language studio movie of the past 25 or so years, and nearly every sci-fi TV show, has somebody in it who appeared on a Stargate property. And if you include crew members, it’s even easier to make connections. It rarely takes more than two steps. In this new “Everything Is Stargate” series, I’m going to post photos from films I’m watching that contain people from Stargate.

This weekend my sons and I watched Wreck-It Ralph, a charming animated movie we’d all seen before and enjoyed. Martin Jarvis provides the voice of Saitine, pictured on the right here:

Jarvis played Davos in an episode of Stargate Atlantis titled “The Seer.” Here he is (with Firefly‘s Jewel Staite on the left):

After a weekend of watching some pretty atrocious movies, I ended my night last night with No Country For Old Men, which features Thomas Kopache in a minor role (seen below with Josh Brolin). Kopache was in one episode of Stargate SG-1, among many other film and TV appearances.

I’m not proud of this, but today I’m watching the Twilight saga. There are many shared actors with the Stargate franchises, but Christopher Heyerdahl was the first one I recognized. He played Todd The Wraith on Stargate Atlantis and Pallan on Stargate SG-1.

Last night I watched The Rock. And there he was again, Willie Garson, who appeared as Martin Lloyd in three episodes of Stargate SG-1, and also in my first Everything Is Stargate post. Willie’s in the middle:

I also loved the show West Wing. Hi, Leo!

The most recent movie I watched was Groundhog Day, and somebody from Stargate appears 2:38 into the movie:

The actor in the middle is Willie Garson, who appeared as Martin Lloyd in three episodes of Stargate SG-1.

See how easy this is?
