Richard Dean Anderson to visit Australia

By David Knox on February 10, 2010 / Filed Under News 22

Richard Dean Anderson is heading to Australia in March for a Stargate Convention to be held on March 6th in Sydney and March 7th in Melbourne.

Anderson makes very few appearances at conventions, but will be joined by Ben Browder and Claudia Black as well as Christopher Judge.

Also attending are Dan Shea, Connor Trinneer and David Nykl while former Farscape cast member Gigi Edgley will also be making an appearance at the Sydney leg of the event.

David Blue from Stargate Universe and Julie Caitlin Brown of Babylon 5 will attend plus artist Jason Palmer, who will be premiering a new line of Stargate pieces created especially for this event.

A Supernatural event will be held in May in Sydney and Melbourne.

    It was great! I was there, even got a photo with RDA (he has put on a bit of weight…). Only, the whole thing was fairly unorganised and a bit of a mess, but the panels were really funny!!

    I would love to meet Richard Dean Anderson!

    I would love to go to this convention! Only found out about it today.
    After reading other comments..I cannot believe there are people out there that actually want the return of Stargate Universe! They are joking ? Right ?
    Have to be the most depressing and dark TV show nothing like the Stargate series that got everyone hooked in the first place I’m suprised it lasted as long as it did…Bring back SG1 series and characters.. If anyone does get to the convention please ask RDA what he was thinking when he agreed to appear in that pathetic Stargate Universe series..

    I know alot of ppl think the prices are high, but you have to think about what it takes to put on a convention – fees for the actor/actress to attend,flights,hotels,and that is just to get here Then you have the venue to pay for.the autographs are what they charge(with the exchange rate)photos well i do argree that they are very high for a photo with RDA and i dont know if i will even get a photo with him.I am planning to attend and see what it is like.

    The money is really worth it. It is so rare for RDA to appear anywhere!!! Who do we have to contact to get Stargate Universe put back on, does anyone know.

    I’ve been to a few conventions in the past and generally speaking guests are happy to answer questions about their entire body of work… No matter how bad it may be.
    Sometimes they even admit to that fact ;)
    So asking RDA about MacGuyver should be no problem at all. Claudia Black and Ben Browder will no doubt be asked questions about Farscape, etc, etc…

    Amanda Tapping is coming out to Australia later in the year for The Hub Productions in Melbourne and another promoter in Sydney.

    Will he talk about MacGyver or will it be totally StarGate?

  8. Kuttsywood February 10, 2010 at 6:30 pm -

    We want RDA to come for a MacGyver convention. After all, do Ten still air MacGyver?

    ive already got my tickets counting down the days I cant wait

    Now if RDA was coming for anything else other than a Stargate convention I would go and pay the money being asked.

    I’d take MacGyver over Jack O’Neill any day.

    Traveling from Perth to go, will be awesome.

    No Michael Shanks either?

    Damn, I wish I could go to both the SG and SN conventions =( Unfortunately Uni now prevents me from doing so. Screw you, education!

    “David Knox says:

    Ta. I will let their publicist know!”

    It’s those publicists touch typists, they aren’t as accurate as we three/four finger typists

    Those prices are very reasonable, especially for that many guests. The Supernatural con with Jared and Jensen only was that price. The high profile guests charge huge appearance fees, plus there is the small thing of airfares from the US to here.

    Ta. I will let their publicist know!

    MacGyver fans should be rich enough now to go and see the lad, they’ll be there.

    pssst, Dan Shea David

    As soon as I saw this I wanted to go then saw the crazy prices way over the top if you ask me!!

  20. gbones February 10, 2010 at 9:13 am -

    damn! Amanda Tapping isnt coming.

  21. alfagirl February 10, 2010 at 9:12 am -

    We need a talk show. It would be nice to see him interviewed without having to attend the convention. When I say “We need a talk show” I mean a real one. Not Darryl “interviewing” guests on his show.

    I got all excited about this until I saw the prices. yikes. Sorry RDA, I love you but you aren’t worth $150 for entry plus an extra $140 for a photo and autograph!
