And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.
My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.
My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went.
My brother and I are always trying to figure out a way to work again together.
Steve and I saw eye to eye on the story and I got the part, but I think in the beginning it was due to my brother's instigation. So I owe him for that.
Yes, in fact my brother Jeff and I co-hosted SNL.
When Spielberg was talking with the other executives about making this movie, he said he was only interested if they were going to tell the truth about the westward crossing, which means how the Native Americans were disrespected.
On the other side, if I'm playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. That's what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.
So I'm playing a villain for instance, who is supposed to be the bad guy of the story, then I like to try and find things that are good about him.
I find people respectful, and for me, the fun of doing what I do, is communicating with people, so I enjoy meeting people who have seen me perform.
I appeared several times on Atlantis while I was doing Stargate. And they've mentioned to me before that they'd like me do some, but right now I have nothing specific to report. I know Amanda Tapping is a regular now on the show. But I have no plans to do that as we speak. But I don't know.
As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.
Dylan, myself and my father were in a two hour movie called The Sand Kings, which started off the Outer Limits series. It was sort of the two hour pilot movie.
I think that by now, in the very beginning when I first joined the show, General Landry was like a new kid in school. I was coming into a situation I didn't really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character's kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops. What they always do with these shows is they always leave them open-ended. The SG-1 franchise has been so successful for the network, that they always want to keep it open, an option to do it again in some way, whether that's a movie or a series, or whatever.
