The Stargate SG-1 ran for impressive 10 seasons from 1997 to 2007, and during that time the cast changed slightly. Ben Browder joined the 9th season, playing Lieutenant Colonel Cameron Mitchell, and while he stayed in the show until his cancellation, the initial concerns about his resemblance to long-term Starwarray Michael Shanks seem to have the second to grow hair on his face.

Daniel Acksecson's actor spoke Gate In 2005, she was asked directly about his beard of the 9th 9, initially laughing when the item was brought. Then, he continued to explain the need for face hair. "It was my idea," the actor said, adding that it was a way to distinguish it from Browder, who at the time wore a fleeting resemblance to the Hanks. "They wanted to have a little bit, at least the initial difference between Ben (Browder) and I," said Shanks, who added that he thought the concerns came from "pure paranoia". He went on: "But there are so many different things with our fans for Ben and I, as we look alike, that we see each other and roll our eyes a little."

Before playing Colonel Mitchell, Browder played the path of astronaut Johnon Cricketon on Farcase and attracted the attention of SG-1 producers for his performance. Browder was almost thrown as two different "Stargate Atlantis" characters Before the manufacturers finally find a home for him at Stargat SG-1.

In his interview with the gate, Michael Shanks-who had left Stargat SG-1 for one season - Did he admit that he and Ben Browder may be difficult to split into certain shots, even when he remained incredible in terms of confusion differently.

And that was, "yes, let's see how it works." And they really liked it. "

The actor continued to explain how he and the producers predicted to use the beard after several episodes, after the audience had a chance to see that Dr. Acksecson and Colonel Mitchell were completely different characters.

As he told Gejduvetnd, "I told Brad (Wright, Executive Producer)," They know I will be the one with GlassesDidn't it? '

Although he was a very late supplement to the cast, Browder was part of some of The most essential episodes "SG-1" And he became a beloved part of the SG-1 trip. Whether the shank's face hair has had nothing to do with helping to establish Colonel Mitchell as such remains unclear, but it is still a pleasant story behind the scenes.
