Stargate Atlantis Cast: Where Are They Now?
3. Joe Flanigan
Major/Lt. Colonel John Sheppard led the Atlantis expedition, under Weir and was to Stargate Atlantis what Richard Dean Anderson' Jack O'Neill was to SG-1. He is sarcastic and dry, yet he is also passionate about what he does. One more than one occasion, he displays that he is more than willing to put his life on the line to ensure the survival and safety of those others in the team.
Joe Flanigan has an acting career dating back to the early '90s, although his CV is a little thin of recent years. He was sued by his talent agency, who claim that he owed them roughly $100k in unpaid dues. This lawsuit also involved Wesley Snipes.
He has appeared in Warehouse 13 and Fringe since his time on Atlantis. He is also featured in a contemporary piece of art, Metascifi. As part of this, he appears and discusses the role of Sheppard in wider culture.
Flanigan is, separate from his acting career, an accomplished skiier, with several competition wins under his belt. He has two children.
