Lexa Doig To Star On Stargate SG-1

Stargate SG-1 Solutions is reporting that Andromeda star Lexa Doig has been cast in a recurring role as Stargate Command’s new medical officer.

Lexa Doig is best known for her role on Andromeda as the artificial intelligence of the starship Andromeda Ascendant. Her role in the most recent season has been dramatically reduced as she took time off to have a baby.

Doig is actually married to Michael Shanks who plays Dr. Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1. Shanks and Doig originally met when Shanks guest starred on an episode of Andromeda.

Lexa has been cast in a recurring role for the ninth season of Stargate SG-1 as Stargate Command’s new medical officer and daughter of General Hank Landry (played by Beau Bridges). Dr Carolyn is the first character to regularly fulfill the role of medical officer since Dr. Janet Fraiser died in Season 7.

Season Nine may have a radically different feel to it with Lexa Doig and Beau Bridges also joined by Ben Browder, Lou Gossett Jr. and Claudia Black to back up the returning cast members Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks and Christopher Judge.
