Stargate Atlantis Cast: Where Are They Now?

Connor Trinneer was no stranger to science fiction fans when he appeared in the second season of Stargate Atlantis. He had played Commander Trip Tucker in Star Trek: Enterprise, which was unfortunately cancelled before it's time. Thankfully, his appearance on Atlantis brought him back to the audience. However, this version of Trinneer was not the friendly engineer that people were used to.

He was Michael, the genetically engineered Wraith-turned-Human. In his debut episode, he seems like a lost soldier - until be begins to realise just how lost he really is. Michael would go on to be a sometime-ally, though most often times significant threat to the Atlantis Expedition.

After the show wrapped, he would go on to another Stargate property. He starred as Professor Langford, the archaeologist who discovers the Earth Stargate and the father of Katherine Langford - she who originally brought Daniel Jackson to the SGC.

Trinneer has recently featured in such films as American Made, alongside Tom Cruise and in the TV series adaptation of The Purge.
