At this year’s Comic-Con, I was able to speak with a few cast members of Syfy’s hit show Stargate Universe. As I’ve said a few times in previous articles, I never watched any of the previous Stargate shows, but I’ve been very impressed with SGU (Stargate Universe). Since the show has only aired one full season and it doesn’t return until late September, I really recommend renting/buying the first season and catching up. It’s absolutely worth it.

Anyway, last night I posted my interview with David Blue, and tonight I’ve got Robert Carlyle. If you watch SGU, you know Carlyle plays Dr. Nicholas Rush and you’re never sure which side he’s on. But that’s one of the reasons his character is so much fun…as you’re never sure what he’ll do. During the interview, Carlyle talked about how he got involved in SGU, what’s coming up in season two (he definitely reveals a few spoilers), the pro’s and con’s of playing the same character and doing a TV show, what it’s like being at Comic-Con, and a lot more. It’s a great interview so check it out after the jump:

Finally, if you don’t like spoilers, I strongly recommend skipping from 5:20 – 8:15.
