Stargate Universe: Where Are They Now?

Stargate Universe was, unfortunately, no one's favourite version of Stargate. Perhaps slightly more fairly, it was simply the least popular spin off from SG-1 (are we counting Stargate: Infinity? Does anyone?)

The problem with this is that Stargate Universe is really bloody good, despite the fact that it was cancelled after only two seasons. It was a victim of poor ratings, with this being, most likely, down to the fact that it copied almost wholesale the style of Ronald D. Moore and David Eick's re-imagined Battlestar Galactica series.

Even the central plot of each is similar. BSG deals with a fleet that is cut off from everything they've known, trying to find a new home. Stargate Universe is all about a group of lost people aboard a ship in a distant galaxy, trying to find a way home.

Hmm.

Still, it was not a complete lift of that show. The writing was strong in Stargate Universe, with a list of excellent acting talent on show. While some names were already bigger than others by the time the show began, it was not a one man show by any means.

Follow on with this list to find out what the stars have been up to since.

Colonel Telford was a major thorn in everyone's side aboard the Destiny. His power struggle with Colonel Young led to some incredibly tense stand-offs, though his abuse of the Ancient communication stones allowed him to conduct an affair with Young's wife.

Diamond Phillips is a Filipino-American actor, and his first engagement after Stargate Universe was to compete on Celebrity Cook-Off, which he won, gaining $50,000 for charity.

He went on then to co-star in the series Longmire, where he played the role of Henry Standing-Bear, a Native American deputy. He is also an accomplished voice actor, starring in four episodes of a radio play of The Twilight Zone. He is a singer as well, appearing on Broadway.

Though he has experienced some legal trouble in the past, he has also been an activist - appearing in a NoH8 campaign LGBT Equality campaign in 2020.
