It was a WIG!? smh. I was deceived!
It genuinely never occurred to me even a single time that it was a wig. I guess kudos to the team!
It originally wasn't a wig in his first several episodes. But when Momoa wanted to cut his hair for personal reasons, the producers did not want him to because the hair was such a staple part of the character. So they had his hair cut and professionally made into a wig so he could keep having that same hairstyle.
I recall reading he only used his own hair as a wig for an episode or two and then replaced it with an actual wig
That sounds believable. Creating a wig out of the actual hair that you are looking to mimic seems like an idea that might sound smart on paper. But there are probably actually a bunch of logistical downsides to that so it's actually better to just make a 100% synthetic wig.
When I saw momoa on something else without the hair (now WIG!?!), I was thinking, “I guess he had to cut it to extend his range.”
I believe it was real in the first season he appeared, and then his hair was turned into that wig.
Looks like odd casting for a Red Dwarf reboot.
Picardo made an appearance in at least one episode, did he not? It's been a while simce I binged stargate, I can't remember; but he's in damn near every sci-fi TV show so it's probably a good bet.
Edit: I need to turn the brightness up on my phone and get some caffeine in me; motherfucker is the one wearing the wig 🤣
He was a guest actor in several episodes of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, then he was a lead character for an entire season of Stargate Atlantis.
He was an auditor for the IOA, and was a recurring character in S3,S4 of SGA. In S5 he became a series regular.
Would be funny to see slight mods that people did to thier doctors to make the crew feel more comfortable, on this ship theirs looks half clingon
Was SG where all the sci fi actors went after finishing their most associated shows? Ben Browder, Celia Claudia Black, Robert Picardo and some others I'm forgetting
I didn’t watch stargate covid and fell in love with Claudia Black all over again. Her voice in Dragon Age: Origins had me in knots as a lad.
Jewel Staite played the chief doctor in the later seasons of Atlantis. I forget her character’s name, I always called her Dr. Kaylee, off of her Firefly character.
