Christopher Judge was probably the most recognizable aspect of Stargat SG-1. As a child of the 90s, who remembers the show that was in the air around the late 90's/early 2000s, I can say that until I knew anything about the performance itself (my only knowledge of the franchise was Roland Emerich's "Stargate" in 1994), I was pictured at the picture. The AFFAFA Warrior and its unique look were just part of the general cultural sight of time.

Now, after getting acquainted with "SG-1", it became clear how important it was for the character of the series judge. The referee was the lead in the series, but he also wrote three episodes: Season 6 "The Changeling", Season 7 of "Birthright" and Season 8 "Victims". He also repeated the role of Teal'c in two episodes of the series "Sequel" "Stargate Atlantis" and in the films directly to the DVD "Truth" casket "and" continuum ". What is more, Judge tried to lead spin-off "Stargat SG-1" That would deliver what the actor described as "the" black panther "old." That spin-off may not have come true, but the actor has clearly felt ready to continue with Tea's story and tried to give the fans a sequel that they would no doubt accept it.

Given all this, it may surprise you that the judge has never sent an episode of "SG-1". The actor, who became known for leaving SG-1 for expressing Kratos in two video games "God of War", was clearly involved behind the scenes of the show. So, you may expect him to switch from episodes to directed, similar to Steve Karel with "Office" or Kelsey Grammer with "Frasier". Unfortunately, we never got the installment directed by a SG-1 judge.

Actors directing episodes on their own shows are not uncommon. ASONESON Alexander directed an episode of Seinfeld, And David Schwimmer directed an impressive 10 episodes of "Friends". With Christopher Judge writing three episodes of "Stargat SG-1", it would not be surprising to learn he directed the strange episode. But the actor seems to have never felt comfortable in that regard.

In an interview for 2006 with IGNone year before The SCI-Fi channel canceled the "Stargate SG-1", The judge spoke about his writing contributions in the series, revealing that he began writing the scripts in his college and felt extremely supported by the co-creator "SG-1" Brad Wright, who apparently encouraged him to contribute to his writing in the show. Asked if he ever thought about directing an episode, however, the judge was much less enthusiastic. Although he admitted he would like to direct him, the judge thought his relations with his co-stars would make him difficult. "I think I wouldn't want to direct our team," he said. "We know each other so well and we have done this for so long that I, truthfully, just wouldn't want to direct me."

Elaborating on his aversion to directing, the referee explained that he and the cast also had an "unusual" process. "None of us takes a lot of time to prepare before the scene, unless it is a very emotional scene," he said. "We want to attack and joke around" while the director says "action". "As the judge saw, he was unlikely to deal with the pre-shooting of his colleagues, while at the same time trying to take his role as a director seriously, with the actor noticing how the antiques for screws can" carry very thin on the patience of our directors. "

While Christopher the judge clearly had reservations about directing, there seems to be a little more on his decision to write about the show. Talking to Michael Rosenbaum of "Inside You" Podcast, the actor explained how he initially began writing scripts because of his desire for Tea to get more prominent stories. The judge said he approached Brad Wright to give his character more importance: "Brad (...) admitted that (production company) MGM wanted to stay away from it (...) He said if you want to write it, so he opened the door for me to write."

Then, clearly, the judge was forced to write as a way to help his character gain more importance and more interesting stories. The guideline does not have to help in this regard, and so it makes sense that the job was not of interest to the actor. Moreover, the judge has yet to make a directorial debut, despite the fact that he works quite consistently after the show ends (though he does Have advice on potentially restarting "SG-1"). The directing seems to be not one of the main ambitions of Christopher Judge.
