David Hewlett - Geek in action
David Hewlett was born on 18th
April 1968 in England, but his family has moved to Canada very soon.
David considers himself as a "computer nerd" (there is no Czech word for
"nerd") - with everything that covers it.
Part of is a weakness for sci-fi (his most favourite was a British TV show
Doctor Who) and an extraordinary attraction to everything that contains a
processor or batteries. He flirted with an amateur movie already in a High
school, which he has left so he could work as a "professional" actor.
He was in few horrors, while he worked with one of his (five) sisters in
different computer projects. She made a graphics, he was a programmer.
He got a bigger acting opportunity in TV shows Kung-Fu: Legend Continues,
Traders (never aired in the Czech Republic) and thriller Cube.
He is loved in the whole world as an egocentric, genius scientist Rodney
McKay in Stargate: Atlantis. And in the break, he decided to make his own
movie just for fun.
He cast his own dog Mars, sister Kate, and his good friend from Atlantis,
Paul McGillion ("He had nothing else to do"), he also asked Christopher
Judge from SG1 to join the cast ("this so isn't his type of role, that I
thought it could be fun") and you have a very good comedy A Dog's Breakfast.
David is married for the second
time and father for the first time. "It's like to rip off the heart from my
chest and watch it toddle around." He is ecstatic from his little son.
