SDCC 2017 Aleks Paunovic Van Helsing Press

Aleks Paunovic is an actor whom we have admired for many years. #TeamWHR first had the opportunity to interview Aleks in 2010, when his name was becoming well known around the world.

Now a soaring Canadian star, we became aware of handsome devil Aleks Paunovic during his early acting days when he first appeared in the MGM Studios outstanding Stargate initial series franchise, Stargate SG-1 in 2002, followed by Andromeda in 2003, with subsequent featured roles in Battlestar Galactica in 2005, Eureka in 2006, Stargate Atlantis in 2007, Sanctuary in 2009, Caprica and Human Target both in 2010, as well as many other roles prior to 2010.

Then began the meteoric rise of Aleks Paunovic, with roles with in a return to Smallville, followed by many more including; Republic of Doyle, Once Upon a Time, Psych, Arctic Air, The 100, Continuum, Supernatural, Motive, all ultimately culminating in starring roles for Aleks in War for the Planet of the Apes, and naturally, one of our favorite SYFY series, Van Helsing!

Multi-talented Aleks Paunovic has amazed his admirers in his role as Julius, creating much excitement in the Van Helsing story arc as the leader of the clan of vampires out to exterminate the human survivors in season one of the series, at one time capturing lovely Vanessa Van Helsing (Kelly Overton) in the series!

Imagine our, and everyone’s sheer delight to learn that not only is Aleks character Julius returning in season two of Van Helsing on SYFY, and to ice the cake so to speak, Aleks Paunovic appeared in San Diego for his first time at Comic-Con 2017 representing the series before he will return to our screens later this year in 2017!

Finally, as we concluded our time with Aleks, he was nice enough to do a shout out to one of his greatest admirers, Mona Per. Mona, like Aleks is a nice person who often expresses her admiration for Mr Paunovic on Twitter featuring complimentary pictures and downright fun tweets. Thanks Mona!

We enjoyed our time with Aleks in the Press Room for Van Helsing, and hope that you enjoy our interview with this amazing actor. Thanks again Aleks!

Dark Matter Finds its Way to Gatecon! An Interview with Roger Cross, Jodelle Ferland and Mike Dopud!
Welcome Dark Matter lovers and WormholeRiders,

I recently covered an exciting event in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Gatecon 2016 The Homecoming!

During Gatecon 2016 in Vancouver, the organizers invited Stargate actors who had also appeared in, or had become regular talent for the show in Dark Matter’s first two seasons.

WormholeRiders News Agency were invited to interview the actors who were available. Thus, Roger Cross, Jodelle Ferland and Mike Dopud were happy to talk with us about their time in Stargate and now, Dark Matter.

The entire event, Gatecon 2016 The Homecoming, was set up to support Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS), an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization.

People from at least 26 countries attended, demonstrating that there is still much love for Stargate out there.

It was also very interesting to learn more about Sea Shepherd and the good work they do, helping to preserve the world’s oceans.

Roger Cross has been very busy. Many of us first met him as a young actor in small roles for Sliders, Stargate SG1, and 21 Jump Street.

Roger kept on working and building up his resume until he was involved in meatier roles more often.

You can now find Roger on some of our favorite shows as a regular, or recurring character – the original X-Files, and First Wave, to Just Cause, 24, Continuum and now, as Six on Dark Matter.

Jodelle Ferland had a somewhat earlier start in her career. She was born in 1994, and her first fore into acting began in 1999, so she began her career at the age of 5.

Jodelle also appeared in Smallville, Dead Like Me and Supernatural, and of course as 7 year old Adria on Stargate SG-1.

She later appeared in movies like Twilight, Cabin in the Woods and the Video Game Bio Shock 2.

Jodelle’s latest success is, of course, as Five on Dark Matter!

Mike Dopud joined us as well. He has also been very busy. Besides his guest appearances on Stargate SG 1 and Stargate Atlantis, Mike Dopud has also appeared in Stargate Universe, Battlestar Galactica and Supernatural.

Mike has appeared as a recurring character on popular American series, Mistresses and Cedar Cove. Recently, he appeared as a recurring character on Dark Matter. His character, Arax Nero, although disgraced, did not die. So, it is quite possible that he will be back.

Until the beginning of Season 3, we hope you enjoyed our interview with the Dark Matter actors from Gatecon 2016. I will be back soon with another exclusive interview conducted at Gatecon 2016 The Homecoming!

Kyra Zagorsky, Superwoman of Syfy!
Welcome back WormholeRiders to WHR You Decide!

This past weekend on April 18, 2015 we had the awesome opportunity to interview the fantabulous actress Kyra Zagorsky!

Most recently seen as Julia Walker on the hit television series Helix, and soon to be seen on another sci-fi hit Continuum.

No doubt Syfy certainly knows a good thing (Kyra) when they see it!

We at WHR You Decide know that millions worldwide all have one thing in common beyond loving the series: Renew Helix!

We have now seen Dr. Julia Walker grow through two seasons of Helix.

A strong and intelligent woman, Julia endured multiple events in the first season!

From being infected, thanks to Peter, to learning that her happy summers with mom in Montana were not all entirely real, we .look forward to a third superb season of Helix!

And on top of all of it, she learns that the brilliant mad scientist Hiroshi Hatake (Hiroyuki Sanada) is her father! In the end, Julia, like Hatake, is an immortal, and her “new” life begins – will Doctor Julia Walker continue his research and protect his legacy? Does she go to work for Ilaria?

Well, we know from season two that the answer to those questions is a resounding yes – to all of the above. We can joke and say that regarding Amy (Alison Louder), Michael (Steven Weber), and Anne (Severn Thompson), the “apple” did not fall far from the tree (get it?); we can say the same of Julia and Hatake – she is driven like he is, she is willing to sacrifice the few for the good of the many, and seems to not exactly fit in with Ilaria.

Julia has escaped turmoil over the past two years, however it looks like things have caught up with her in the next 30…will she take Soren’s (Jimmy Thorburn) blood and survive? We’ll have to wait and see – if we and the rest of the Helix universe is the fortunate to receive a season 3 (please, please, please!).

The woman behind Julia, Kyra Zagorsky, is just as driven. An entertainer who caught the acting bug in high school and never looked back, with a first love of Shakespeare and the theatre, Kyra has transitioned into film and television.

With roles in the Stargate franchise (Atlantis and SGU) and Smallville and Supernatural, Falling Skies and Soldiers of the Apocalypse, she has found her way into our living rooms many times over. Kyra exudes professionalism in all she does, and that shows through in all forms of media that we see – from the small screen to the big, and even in print.

Born in the metropolis of New York City but raised in a small town in Colorado, Kyra credits her parents and her formative years with the product that we now know and love.

A master and student of acting, Kyra is often cast in a role that allows her to portray a strong and intelligent woman, often permitting her to use the various martial arts that she has also trained in over the years.

Dividing her time between Los Angeles, Montreal, and now Vancouver, this mother of two and wife to The Flash’s David Singh (Patrick Sabongui) sat with us to chat about Helix, her career, and a few other tales the other day. Helix season 2 may have concluded, but when you think about it, Continuum season really is just not that far away. So, sit back, put your feet up and take a listen and enjoy – I dare you to not crack a smile while you listen!

Thanks to Kenn for final audio, video embedding , and additional image staging, and many thanks to you for reading and visiting WormholeRiders News Agency.
