I've always been interested in the history of the West, our country and particularly as it relates to the Native Americans - the original Americans.

I think that by now, in the very beginning when I first joined the show, General Landry was like a new kid in school. I was coming into a situation I didn't really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character's kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops. What they always do with these shows is they always leave them open-ended. The SG-1 franchise has been so successful for the network, that they always want to keep it open, an option to do it again in some way, whether that's a movie or a series, or whatever.

Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.

Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.

Sometimes it's hard to know why networks will stick with something. Sometimes the ratings won't happen, but there's excitement at the network, so they'll stay with the show.

When we work to end childhood hunger, we are giving our love to kids who need it so much they will never ask for it.

But on the other hand I believe I'm a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well.
