Wait a sec, Vala is a character on SG-1, not SGA. Is she going to show up on SGA too?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh, bloody hell. Not that old trope again.
So very tired of it.
But then, that's the Gekko folks for you: why invent some new story when you can just swipe one from Star Wars/Farscape/Xena/Buffy/Star Trek?

William Fichtner is joining the cast of Prison Break.
(The article linked to says what the character is.)
Also, I read that Billie Piper is starring in a BBC production of The Ruby in the Smoke based on the book by Phillip Pullman.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Wait wait wait. Billie Piper is way too old to play the lead in The Ruby in the Smoke. The girl is like 15 when the story starts! (By the end of the trilogy, she's in her mid-20s.) Also, she'll have to prim up her accent quite a bit.
(It's a good set of stories, and I think well-suited to a Beeb production: Victorian London, penny-dreadful plots, fun characters. An ex bare-knuckles boxer vicar; his twin brother who went to sea and came back an opium addict; a street urchin; an aspiring photographer. But Pullman was also true to the historical period: when the fighting starts, the women get out of the way.)

I loved the books. We'll see how she does. Assuming, of course, that it makes it over here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I doubt many British actors get very far without being able to tweak their accents.

Yeah, but Billie Piper started out as a pop star, not an actor, so she probably doesn't have the full-on training that Tennant or Eccleston does. I STILL wish they'd used Tennant's real accent, dammit.

I don't know how much training either of them do have, but if it takes training, judging by my experience watching British TV in the 80s, there must be a lot of schools out there full to the brim. It's not something that ever stuck out as uncommon.
