AMANDA TAPPING DIVES INTO ‘ATLANTIS’
'Stargate SG-1’ Star Joins ‘Atlantis’ Cast for Fourth Season
Claudia Black to Guest Star on ‘The Dresden Files’New York, NY – February 20, 2007 – The Stargate legacy continues to burn bright on SCI FI. As the countdown to the final ten
episodes of Stargate SG-1 commences, the Channel prepares for the launch of an all-new fourth season of Stargate Atlantis
this fall. SG-1’s Amanda Tapping will travel to the Pegasus galaxy to join the Atlantis cast and reprise her role as television’s
favorite astrophysicist, Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter.
Taking the torch from SG-1 as television’s most thrilling adventure series, Atlantis, slated to begin production in Vancouver next
month, promises to up the ante this season by introducing a powerful new race, welcoming new cast members and mourning the
loss of some beloved friends.
For ten seasons, Tapping starred on Stargate SG-1 as the intelligent and beautiful Samantha Carter. Her combination of Gate
expertise, in-depth scientific knowledge and military training made her a critical member of SG-1. She will need to draw upon all
these resources as she assumes her new role on Atlantis. Tapping will appear in 14 of the season’s 20 episodes.
Cool.
