Peter Kelamis Answers Your Questions
Stargate Universe Producer/Writer Joseph Mallozzi just posted a Q&A with Peter Kelamis (Ormand) on his blog. Below the cut you will find the questions and answers regarding Riese.
DP writes: “What about an acting part makes you want that part?”
PK: Being allowed to try something new or a character that is soo interesting and different from yourself. I am about to play a role in the series “Riese” that should frighten people. Or at the very least, creep the hell out of them. It’s not a type of role I often get to do…thanks to the Riese folks for the opportunity.

PK: I had auditioned for the role of Herrick which is now being played by the very talented Ben Cotton…but I suppose I made enough of an impression on the Producers that I was offered the role of Ormand…Patrick Gilmore actually arranged the audition…once again…I have pictures of him! No plans for any other Sci-Fi shows right now, but you never know what the future holds…hopefully many years of SGU! Riese filmed during the hiatus from SGU, so there were no conflicts…

PK: Thank you for the Comedy kudos. The “Riese” role should freak some people out…all I can say is, if you find it comedic, you are a sick puppy.
