David DeLuise on Chimera
First-time Stargate SG-1 guest-star David DeLuise, who plays Sam Carter�s new main squeeze Pete Shannon in Chimera, took away nothing but fond memories from the filming of this story. �My first day on set I met the writer of the episode, Damian Kindler,� recalls DeLuise. �He�s a really cool guy and so easy to talk with, especially when it came to helping me define my character.
�Of course, most of my scenes in the episode are with Amanda Tapping. She�s such a gracious individual and totally accessible as an actress. Some actors after working for years on a TV series tend not to bother with other people on the job, guest-stars included. Amanda, on the other hand, is never too busy for anyone. It was as if the two of us were doing community theatre, and by that I mean she loves to rehearse. We had instant on-screen chemistry, and that either happens or it doesn�t. You can try to fake it but you can�t lie to the camera.
�I�ve got my fingers crossed that Stargate fans don�t crucify my character because Sam and Pete do a little making out in the episode,� laughs the actor. �I know there are quite a few viewers out there who don�t want her to be with anyone except Colonel O�Neill. I would ask those fans to please see it in their hearts that because Sam and Jack are in the military they aren�t allowed to be together. So Sam has to find romance somewhere, right? Hopefully, audiences will take a liking to Pete because I�d love nothing more than to go back up to Vancouver next season and play him again, and again, and, oh yeah, again.�
