~*~Rodney McKay/David Hewlett Biographies~*~- As acerbic as he is brilliant, astrophysicist Dr. McKay is a scientist with long Stargate experience: Temporarily assigned to Stargate Command, he matched scientific wits with Major Samantha Carter when her fellow SG-1 team-member Teal'c was cut off from the Stargate while on another world (in "48 Hours") and as a Pentagon scientist parried with her again when the Stargate was approaching an extinction-level explosion (in the two-part "Redemption"). He now serves as chief scientific advisor on the Stargate Atlantis team.
~*~DAVID HEWLETT~*~
- Birthday: April 18, 1968
Birth Place: Redhill, Surrey, England, UK
Birth Name: David Ian Hewlett
Height
5' 11" (1.80 m)
Current Spouse (Engaged): Jane Loughman, Ex-Spouse: Soo Garay (5 November 2000 - February 2004) (divorced)
Most people can't claim to be both a successful actor and a successful Internet entrepreneur. Clearly, David Hewlett isn't most people.
Born in Redhill, Surrey, UK, and raised in Canada, Hewlett — a regular on the TV series Traders and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues and the reluctant hero, Worth, of the art-house hit Cube — runs Darkyl Media, a small designer of Web sites for the film and TV industry. (One client, coincidentally, was a company called Atlantis Films.) He is also a founder of fusefilm.com, a Web networking forum for filmmakers. The eldest of six children, Hewlett had gotten his first computer, a Commodore 64, while in his mid-teens, and became a self-described "computer nerd." But his acting side had already taken hold as well, and while in high school at Toronto's St. George's College Choir School for Boys appeared in 8mm and 16mm student films by classmate Vincenzo Natali, the future writer-director of Cube.
Hewlett dropped out of school his senior year in order to pursue both computer and acting careers. He appeared in the low-budget horror films The Darkside (1987) and Pin (1988) and guested on the syndicated series My Secret Identity and Friday the 13th. Shortly afterward he found himself co-starring in the ensemble cast of director John Boorman's Where the Heart Is alongside the formidable likes of Uma Thurman, Crispin Glover, Suzy Amis, Dabney Coleman and Joanna Cassidy. In 1996, Hewlett began what is perhaps his best-known role until now, playing quirky computer whiz Grant Jansky on the hit Canadian series Traders, earning two Gemini Award nominations — the Canadian Emmy-equivalent — for his work. In a case of art imitating life, Hewlett before this had spent two years as resident computer expert at the messaging network Voice-Tel Canada.
In 2001, after a spate of Canadian movies and telefilms including Scanners II: The New Order and Desire and Hell at Sunset Motel with Sherilyn Fenn, Hewlett and his wife, actress Soo Garay, moved to Los Angeles. Hewlett had a high-profile role in an episode of ER, playing a father who wants the doctors to euthanize his severely handicapped five-year-old son, but ironically he's made more of a mark back in Canada — appearing in three episodes of the Vancouver-shot Stargate SG-1 as astrophysicist Dr. Ronald McKay, now of the Stargate Atlantis team.
Hewlett, who won a Golden Sheaf Award for best actor for his performance as a neurotic security guard in Natali's 1997 short "Elevated," recently reunited with the director on the film Cypher, playing opposite Jeremy Northam and Lucy Liu.
Trivia
Went to high school with director Vincenzo Natali and has appeared in three of his films. Had worked with Andrew Miller and suggested him to Natali for Cube (1997).
Originally appeared as Dr. Rodney McKay', a one-off guest star in "Stargate SG-1" (1997) episode "48 Hours" . He was then invited back for the Season Six premiere "Redemption, Parts 1 & 2" the following season. When the shows creators were casting the spin-off series "Stargate: Atlantis" (2004), he was originally called in to read for a different role. However, he returned to the "Stargate franchise" as McKay, only this time, he was a series lead in the smash hit, "Stargate: Atlantis" (2004).
Brother of Kate Hewlett
He is a big fan of "Doctor Who" (1963). His favourite Doctor was Tom Baker.
Used to run an Internet media company, Darkyl, with his sister in Toronto.
With his girlfriend Jane Loughman he adopted a dog from a local animal shelter which was scheduled for being euthanized. The Rottweiler-Terrier mix is now called Mars, and is one of the stars of David and Jane's new comedy feature film called A Dog's Breakfast (2007).
Engaged to Jane Loughman on December 25, 2006.
His fiancée, Jane Loughman, had a son named Sebastian Flynn Loughman Hewlett, on October 6th, 2007.
Wedding to Jane Loughman set for June 2008.
