The First Prime Who BEAT Jack O'Neill (Dial the Gate)

STARGATE VIEWERS loved watching Richard Dean Anderson's Colonel Jack O'Neill spar with his foes, bringing his signature wit and humor to those over-the-top science fiction encounters. Maybe the most fun to watch was whenever Jack was cornered by Herak, an ambitious Jaffa who would become First Prime to Anubis himself.
Actor Michael Adamthwaite played the role with such beautiful intensity that Herak became a great foil for O'Neill, and an angry straightman for Anderson's on-set improvization. In this conversation with "Dial the Gate" Michael talks about working on SG-1, how RDA and the directors made these scenes so much fun ... and that time the guest star accidentally injured the star of the show.
This clip is from Dial the Gate's full-length, hour-long conversation with Michael. Watch the full interview here: • 221: Michael Adamthwai...

What a legend 🤺🦹🏻🗣️🎆🪱🪐🪐🪐

Man, everything about SG-1 and Atlantis is just so wholesome, it always gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Thanks David for providing this steady stream of great content in these otherwise dark times for Stargate fans! ♥

[@wmlukepriest8012]

Great stories! Love all your efforts to find and interview anyone involved in our beloved Stargate.

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

Great interview, on both sides. Thank you!

[@JMaahs23]

Harak, on GateWorld with David? Still failing upwards I see.
David has had some great interviews but I have to put this one with Michael very high up on the list. What a great person Michael is. Funny, good sense of humor, great stories, and humility. Would like to have seen more of him on the show. What an awesome interview.

[@JMaahs23]

Hopefully you have him on again. If so, ask him about putting the frame of the Eye of Ra into his chest piece. That always seems awkward. As if they didn't check that it would fit right beforehand.

[@StargateFandomPodcast]

Thank you for this, how cool!

[@DarkerThanBlack88]

That last scene was so hilarious

[@themeekmeek2455]

I love your videos❤, always amazing, wonderful interviews. Thank you.

[@Jack-fp9qu]

Is it really necessary to further antagonize him
O'neill: Yes

[@damienrobbie5974]

[@booboolips6053]

[@geraldrhodes4114]

[@HemisphereCinema]

btw gateworld have you done an interview with the jonas quinn actor? imagine if these two where in the same call did be amazing.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

Yes! In fact David has a brand new conversation with Corin on Dial the Gate's channel this past weekend.
(We'll run a clip from that one here in a few months ... still playing catchup from 2023.)

Failing upwards I see

[@mattboesch8907]

I think Jack got the last laugh considering he blew her’ak up with the ancient drone weapons

[@susanmcewen8851]

God, I wish RDA getting "stabbed" was caught on film and kept as an out-take!!! Lol...😂

[@auntieyaya8381]

The Jaffa who failed up!!!

[@iceetmarne3571]

We really need news on the reboot.

[@specialnewb9821]

It's not happening. That's what no news means.

[@iceetmarne3571]

@@specialnewb9821 I heard it might be a while ago..

[@GateWorldDotNet]

I think it'll happen. Still hopeful it will be announced this year. But I've run out of patience when it comes to covering a project they just can't figure out how to get done.

[@iceetmarne3571]

@@GateWorldDotNet sorry, I meant we (Starfate fans!) need news from the networks!

[@evaldo_coutinho]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@specialnewb9821]

I always appreciated the more successful baddies even if herak was more "successful"

[@midoribushittv]

I see you've failed upwards.
