Scott? Speaking of, you can’t expect to go through a Q&A here and not spill some details on those sex scenes. JB: Lol- Of course I do! I love playing James and think that she is a great character.Ģ) Do you think Lt. MyNameIsNada writes: “Yeah for a Q&A with Julia! Her are some questions:ġ) Do you think Lt. However my sister works in the stock market and is up every day at 5 am so I am cautious to complain! I always call her on my way to set just to tell her I am up! I think I had to set my alarm for 4:30 one day and that was the earliest. JB: Whenever you are shooting a series you will definitely have early calls. Have you had any ludicrously early calls to set as yet? Hopefully in Season 2 she gets to keep developing her strength.ģ. She definitely started to break down with the loneliness and isolation. JB: In Season 1 we saw James struggle to find her place on the Destiny. How do YOU think James has grown or changed over the course of S1? I did a ton of reading about the different ranks and tried to get a good grasp of the mental state and the discipline that I would have in my life to be in this role.Ģ. I have a family member that was in the Canadian Army so that was a great resource for me. JB: For me the most important aspect of the research was to find out as much as I could about being in the military. What sort of research did you do for this role? As an actor I have loved any opportunity to do fight scenes and stunts so I would love her to continue in that direction.ġ. Like all of us her confidence goes in and out, but James is a fighter and she has a ton of strength in her. And then I would like to see her succeed at that. JB: I would love to see James put in a position where she really has to step up and be a leader. What are your aspirations for Lt James in Season 2? He makes the best pasta ever, second only to the pasta I have had in Italy!ħ. My go-to is Chicken Parmesan, with Marscapone pasta. JB: I love to cook! My family is full of amazing chefs and I was the last to jump on board. Do you like to cook? If so what’s your fave dish to make? I was a waitress, a terrible waitress at that! I was 16 and I think people felt sorry for me, because I got amazing pity tips! LolĦ. The first Joe job that I had was at a restaurant in West Vancouver called Trolls. I guest starred in an episode in the first season with SGU’s Patrick Gilmore! JB: First Acting Job was on a show called Tru Calling. What was the first job you ever had? – Acting or non-acting. I can’t give away too much back story as we have yet to explore that on the show, but I will say that James has had some challenges to face in her life.ĥ. Mark Burgess who plays Franklin was so amazing to act with. I sense a backstory there, like she’s been the primary carer for someone in her past. I loved the scene of James looking after Franklin in Sabotage. It would obviously be different if his relationship with Chloe wasn’t in her face constantly.Ĥ. Regardless of what the exchange was for Scott, James developed feelings for him. I see it as a normal reaction exacerbated by the fact that she’s in close proximity to them in a stressful situation. Some people are surprised at James’ reaction to losing Scott to Chloe. JB: Jamil, just for bragging rights! He’s not only in incredible shape but we have a fun banter with each other and it would be awesome to bug him about something like that! Lolģ. Which cast member would you most like to beat in an arm wrestling contest? I did some kickboxing to toughen up physically and just recently I have been taking kickboxing classes with Sharon Taylor from Stargate Atlantis. I find it helps with the weight training. When I got the role of James, I did start working out with a trainer. That is definitely my favorite form of exercise. JB: I am always changing up my workout routine, otherwise I get bored! But I have a chocolate lab that I run with almost daily. What’s your workout routine? Did that change when getting the role of Lt James? It’s not surprising that, between the time I announced this Q&A and today’s entry, Julia picked up the Leo Award for Best Supporting Performance by a Female in a Dramatic Series.Ĭongratulations to Julia on the win, and a big thank you for taking the time to field our questions.ġ. Take Julia Benson (SGU’s Lieutenant Vanessa James) for example, an actress who started off strong in the opener and just keeps getting better, delivering everything from throwaway humor (Space) to emotional intensity (Pain) with the skill and professionalism of a seasoned performer many years her senior. And, on many occasions, even though you’re expecting them to excel, they still manage to surprise and delight. You go in to each script – or game – confident in the talent you’re working with, solid starters and a deep, deep bench that never lets you down. Producing Stargate: Universe is not unlike coaching an immensely talented sports franchise.
