Well, well, well. If it isn’t Dark Matter‘s Teku Fonsei, actor Andrew Moodie, incognito.
Well, actually, it IS. And he’s pretty cognito. The beard is for a play he’s doing. The crispy pig ear he’s holding? Not part of the performance art.
Anyway, I was having lunch with Andrew today and thought – I bet Dark Matter fans would love to quiz him about his time on the show, before and beyond. So, if you’ve got questions for Andrew, please post them in this blog’s comments section. I’ll gather them up and send them his way this weekend.
Uh, guys. I think I may be dating a character from Futurama.
Still awaiting word from MGM on The Stargate Initiative. Adam Barnard offers up a neat summation of the recent #DriveToRevive campaign above.
Meanwhile, there was this tweet response from the official Stargate Command twitter:
I say again. Hmmmmmmm.
Hopefully MGM is actually paying attention.
For Andrew Moodie:
No questions, just wanted to say that I worked at the Grace Hospital about 25 years ago and knew your Mom, Marjorie. She was the loveliest lady, and I remember her talking about you with pride. I hope she is doing well and is still tending to her garden. I was only there for about 3 years and doubt that she would remember me. Loved your role on DM. I will keep an eye out for any upcoming shows that you might be in.
Akemi’s hair is cute!
No contest, Leela doesn’t have Akemi’s awesome dimples. Questions for Andrew Moodie, what’s your favorite meals in Vancouver, after pigs ears of course. What has been your favorite stage role so far? What is your favorite store in Vancouver that you can spend all day in (that isn’t Ikea)? Did you keep any of Teku’s cool wardrobe?
Lots of questions, answer whichever of them you’d like, thanks for chatting with us!
We’re actually in Toronto, not Vancouver. 🙂
Akemi looks fantastic!
Agreed!
Agreed also!
Hi Andrew.
I really loved your character Teku Fonsei in Dark Matter. You/Teku had a very calming, higher being, presence throughout the ‘shenanigans’ in Season 3. Do you do yoga or any martial arts?
Was Dark Matter your first sci-fi project? If it was, how did you find it?
I’ve read you’ve had much acclaim playing Shakespeare (amongst many other things!), which is your favourite Shakespeare play and why?
Have you ever visited Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire or The Globe in London?
And finally, what do you prefer doing
– acting theatre, TV, film or radio
– playwriting or writing books
(gosh, that’s truly an amazing repertoire!)
Thank you for taking time to answer our questions. I was so looking forward to seeing more of you in Dark Matter.
I will keep my eyes open for any of your projects and really honestly hope one day I can see you perform Shakespeare or one of your plays in my home town in London
I love, love, love Akemi’s hair. I’m not worried about MGM. I’m feeling pretty good based on several tweets they sent out. (Sent them to you).
Andrew, do you think Teku’s ship would have joined with the Raza and they’d travel together? Would you be on the next Stargate team? Also, I am impressed with your work in a couple of shows, and hope to see you in more!
