All good things....

I’m writing to end the depressing stream of messages I’ve acquired in my inbox in the last week since the announcement that SGA is indeed canceled. Yes, we’re a little disappointed that we won’t be seeing each other on a regular basis anymore, or eating Steve’s famous “crack sandwiches” every morning (I must now enter baconcheesymayo-y goodness rehab). But at the same time, the SGA characters are in no way, shape, or form deceased. This franchise is a strong one, and you can bet they’re not putting SGA to bed yet; I’ve heard buzzings of DVD movies as well as crossover appearances on Stargate: Universe, so rest assured that it ain’t over. This just means more opportunities to invade other franchises and time to play other characters, and I’m quite excited to be “on the market” again. I have no idea what’s in store for me, since I’m tied up for another month with Atlantis, but I’ll be sure to let you know when I do decide on my next project. As for being “cursed”… not exactly the thing an actress needs to hear, like, Ever. Besides, being truly cursed would have been having the show canceled last year, not this year… and I don’t believe in curses. I believe in working on fantastic projects with great people, and I’ve been blessed to work on many, and will continue to do so if you keep watching!

So spread the word: life goes on for us actors. We’re used to this.

I’ll be taking the red eye to Atlanta for Dragon*Con Friday night, since I’ll be filming during the day, and I may have last night’s make-up on and a giant latte in my clutches, but I’ll get there somehow! More of a real blog when I return, complete with new pics from D*C.

P.S. and thanks. I know you’re rooting for me.

PPS. To the woman who wrote to me saying she “realized the Matt you refer to as your husband was Matthew Fox! Please tell your husband I’m such a fan of Lost!”: All I can say is, is she new?
