Latest season. Season Season 9. Season 8. Season 7. Season 6. Season 5. Season 4. Season 3. From creative differences to health concerns, here are the real reasons why these actors left the Stargate franchise.
Daniel Jackson. Neither of these talented actors joined the spinoff TV series Stargate SG-1 , which picks up where the movie left off. But that, of course, left a lot of viewers wondering, why didn't Russell and Spader reprise their roles for the televised series? The answer to this one isn't absolutely clear, but maybe we can sum it by saying that it simply wasn't in the cards for them. Even though Stargate SG-1 is a continuation of the movie Stargate , in many ways, it's basically a reboot.
The creators behind the movie had nothing to do with the TV show. Stargate SG-1 essentially worked with an entirely new cast and even tweaked some things within the universe of the franchise. For example, the enemy alien Ra was supposedly part of an extinct alien species in the movie, but the TV series completely contradicted that. Not to mention that there were three years between the movie and the TV show.
By the time Stargate SG-1 reached the airwaves, Russell and Spader moved on to other projects — and neither of them were television actors, either.
At the time, going from film to TV had much more of a stigma than it does today. Previously, Anderson gained popularity by playing problem solver extraordinaire MacGyver in the late '80s and early '90s. Although that show had been off the air for years by the time he signed on for Stargate 's spinoff series, he essentially brought a pre-existing fanbase with him when he joined Stargate SG-1 in Anderson played the witty and loyal Colonel Jack O'Neill for the entire show.
However, he stepped down as a main character at the end of season eight and only appeared in select episodes in seasons nine and ten. This fundamentally changed the show, as it forced the producers to introduce a replacement leader for the SG-1 team, which would ultimately be the character of Cameron Mitchell Ben Browder.
A lot of fans wondered why Anderson would voluntarily choose to forfeit such a fantastic role in television. Well, in a interview via GateWorld , he said that he wanted to spend more time with his daughter. His only child, Wylie Quinn Anderson, was born in , during the second season of Stargate SG-1 , and Anderson felt the series was taking too much time away from his relationship with his child.
These feelings grew stronger as the show progressed, and in seasons six and seven of Stargate SG-1 , Anderson started to reduce his workload. The writers would occasionally sideline his character in episodes to allow the rest of the SG-1 cast to step up and fill the gap.
Then, in season eight, O'Neill became a minor character altogether. Every so often, Anderson made a guest-starring appearance on the series and other Stargate shows and movies , but he essentially left the franchise as a main character.
It's no surprise that Amanda Tapping has continued to enjoy a very successful career in Hollywood since the end of her Stargate days. Not only is she an impressive actor, but she also has experience behind the camera as a director and producer.
As for her time on Stargate , Tapping played the highly intelligent Samantha Carter, who begins her arc as a captain before eventually getting promoted, and was a member of the cast for all ten seasons of SG After the show ended, she was brought onto the spinoff series Stargate Atlantis as a main character for its fourth season. But after that, she only showed up as a guest actor. So where did she go?
Well, according to an interview with SheKnows , Tapping left the franchise to focus on her own show for the Syfy Network, which was called Sanctuary. In addition to starring in the series, she also produced and directed a few episodes.
