Exclusive Interview: Joe Flanigan
The 'Stargate Atlantis' star on being an action hero
By Blaine Kyllo | Monday, August 18, 2008
Joe Flanigan, who plays John Sheppard on Stargate Atlantis, is a funny guy. But he has a dry sense of humour, so when he’s telling a joke it takes a moment to register because the only cue to the fact that he’s just said something funny is a slight shift in the cadence of his speech.
Joe Flanigan plays Lt. Colonel John Sheppard on 'Stargate Atlantis.'<br />
In talking with journalists at Vancouver’s Bridge Studios in May, he kept the group so relaxed and at ease that the 30 minutes seemed less like an interview session and more like a group of people hanging out at the pub. Flanigan talked about the sorry state of the action-adventure genre in the medium of television and why he prefers the Wraith to the Replicators.
CinemaSpy: Would you consider Sheppard to be old fashioned?
Joe Flanigan: No, I’d never consider him to be old fashioned. Old school?
CinemaSpy: I’m referring to the relationship with Teyla. Sometimes there’s an old fashioned treatment of Teyla, do you not think?
Joe Flanigan: What’s old fashioned? What do you mean?
CinemaSpy: Well, she’s pregnant so you don’t want her to go on missions. That felt old fashioned to me.
