castaliaThe Chicago Tribune just interviewed Ben Browder, David Hewlett, Claudia Black and Gary Jones - check it out here.
Tons of spoilers, so click carefully.
[On McKay's frequent scene partner, Paul McGillion, who plays Dr. Carson Beckett] We actually have a love scene coming up. You'd have to do some factchecking, but it might be the first man on man kiss in sci fi. McKay ends up having a person transfer into his body, a female, and she ends up witih a crush on [Beckett]. Paul teased me mercilessly for weeks in advance of the shooting. On that day, we went for rehearsal … it would be weird to kiss even the women on the show, I know them all so well, and more importantly they all know me so well [laughs]. So that's why it was important to do this well, in case I ever want to go near them again. For rehearsal, [Hewlett did a real kiss, which McGillion wasn't expecting]. Yeah, after that, he sent me flowers and chocolate [laughs].
These two are so cute. He's wrong about it being the first m/m kiss in sci-fi (that honor goes to the Brits, I think), but still, this is a biggie for American sci-fi.
Also, if you scroll up a bit, there's a link to an interview with Jamie Bamber. Includes a mention of working on Hornblower.
Scroll down to find bits about Joan of Arcadia and House (great interview with Hugh, including a bit about Stephen Fry and a possible guest role for him).
