"When I first met him, I was so afraid he was going to be 'Mr. LA.' But he's so not that. He's charming and he has this great laugh. And he shoots straight from the hip - you can always count on him to say exactly what's on his mind. He's the person I go to when I need cheering up. I absolutely adore that man."
Starlog, April 1998
"Teal'c is Teal'c and everyone deals with him the way he has to be dealt with, pragmatically. There's not a heck of a lot of emotional give and take with him but that's going to be addressed this [third] season and that's a positive thing for Chris Judge. He's a very capable actor and he wants to expand the parameters of his character so he can expose more facets of Teal'c's personality to the audience."
TV Zone, August 1999
"The scenario [Into the Fire] is that SG-1 is missing and I have to prevent Teal'c from going to find them. Teal'c then insists that if that has to be the case he wants to leave Earth and return to his family. It's a very touching scene in which Christopher did a wonderful job of controlling his emotions. Christopher is a really gifted actor who doesn't get to do too much. He spends a lot of time with a stone face, but when they do let him break loose the binds, he can just move mountains."
Cult Times, October 1999
"He's talented, he's got charisma, but he's got something else. He's the kind of guy that you just want to know, the kind of guy that you hope that your son will run into some day."

"Christopher Judge has this fear of bears. He's from Los Angeles and we're up here in wilds of British Columbia where I'm from and where bears live. He's a big guy and the old adage, 'Bears are more afraid of you than you are of them,' is very true, so he really doesn't have anything to be afraid of. On one episode there was a grip working in the forest. He was dressed completely in black and throughout the day I kept saying to Christopher, 'Did you hear something? Did you see that?' He'd give me a punch or whatever and say, 'Quit messing with me.' Finally there was a point where this grip was bent down in a ditch and I said to Christopher, 'Did you see that?' Of course, I had him looking in the right direction so when this grip in his black outfit stood up Christopher jumped probably three feet in the air. He was ready to run for his trailer until he figured out at the last second it was just a grip."
TV Zone, December 1998
"Everybody has their own particular sense of humour. We all get along really, really well. And it's sickening to say, but after some of the other shows that I've worked on, this one's like a big love-in. I'm flattered that Amanda says that, but she is certainly as witty, or more witty, than I am. And Michael, who can imitate any character in any movie ever made, is certainly a source of continual laughter. And I think that Rick's on-set demeanour is legendary. But when I want a really good laugh, I play golf with Don Davis!"

"One of the funniest things I've ever seen is Don Davis on skis. He refused to wear a ski suit so he was skiing in a trench coat and jeans."
Hollywood Spotlight Chat, 1999
"Michael Shanks is like my younger brother. We get along fabulously, and we spend a lot of time together, even off set. Amanda Tapping is like my sister. It sounds almost too rosy, I know, but we get along that well. At the screen test, the three of us talked almost the whole time, while everyone else was preparing or sulking, whatever actors do. We had such a natural camaraderie. It's almost as if it was predestined [that we would be working together]. Rick is like our crotchety uncle. He can add levity to absolutely any situation."
Starlog, June 1998
"Most of my scenes were with Richard. He's a total cut-up on the set and loves to make people laugh. Of course, once he sees that he has you he'll make these little faces during your takes, especially any close-ups, that make you lost it. We shot one scene so many times but I just couldn't keep a straight face, so they ended up using a take in which we're about to square off and there I am smiling. I still give Richard crap about that, but that's part of what now makes doing Stargate with him so much fun. Things would be miserable if Richard was nasty but his motto and Michael Greenberg's [Anderson's business partner and series co-executive producer] is, 'Life is too short, so have fun.'"
TV Zone, June 1999
"We hang out together quite a bit, and whereas I just go out as I am, Michael will put on the hat and the sunglasses and hunker down a bit. He's one of those theatre guys who's uncomfortable with celebrity. I, on the other hand, had the good fortune - or misfortune, depending on how you look at it - to have grown up in L.A., where it's great to be recognised."
