According to the Hollywood Reporter.com, the actor of one of my favorite characters has been cast in a new Startgate Universe series. Apparently his new role is quite similar to the one he had on Moonlight.

Justin Louis, David Blue, Brian J. Smith and Jamil Walker Smith are set to co-star opposite Robert Carlyle on Sci Fi Channel's new original series "Stargate Universe."

The series, from MGM TV, follows a group of soldiers, scientists and civilians left to fend for themselves when forced through a Stargate after their hidden base comes under attack. The survivors, who emerge aboard an ancient ship missing in the far reaches of space, are led by Dr. Nicholas Rush (Carlyle), who works to unlock the ship's mysteries and return the group to Earth.

Louis ("Hidden Hills") will play Col. Everett Young, an experienced Stargate team leader.

Blue ("Ugly Betty") plays Eli Wallace, a slacker who just happens to be an utter genius with anything he puts his mind to -- everything from mathematics to video games.

Brian J. Smith ("Hate Crime") is Lt. Matthew Scott, a junior member of the Stargate team thrust into the role of leader well before he's ready.

Jamil Walker Smith ("Sister, Sister") plays Sr. Sgt. Ronald Greer, a Marine with a temper.

"Stargate" veterans Brad Wright and Robert Cooper are writing/exec producing the series, which will debut in the fall as a two-hour movie and will be distributed by MGM Worldwide TV Distribution.

Edited - because the news was even better for him than I first recognized.

Very, very interesting!! Thanks for posting this. I love David Blue and I love the entire Stargate series!!

I always thought ML could have benfitted from SG's writers, now at least a part of that theory gets to be tested. I can't wait... I know I have to, but I can't wait!!! (I just hope they'll sell it on itunes for us poor Sci-fi deficients.

Actually, the news is even better for him. Stargate Universe isn't the new Stargate movie.....it's the new Stargate SERIES!! So this will be his first role as a weekly cast member of a TV series. We'll get to see him every week!! And the Stargate franchise is a very well established one, so that can only be a good thing.

Go David!!

Love that guy from The Full Monty! This looks like it will be really good. I'm definitely going to watch when it comes on.

I'm so happy for him. It's kind of nice to follow the ML cast as they find other roles.

Oh, look at him, right in the middle of the group! He looks so happy... good for him!

Nice link. If you look at the bottom, there's another trailer for the show, too.

I saw a clip of this last night on SciFi....he looks just like himself, lol!

Why is it that I don't think the role will be much of a stretch for David? The character's description sounds so much like Logan that you gotta laugh!

Go David! Congrats!
