Trivia about Stargate Universe
The producers were looking for well-known names for the lead roles, but intended to mostly cast "either new faces, or people you've seen in other stuff but maybe aren't as aware of".
BAFTA and Screen Actors Guild Award-winning actor Robert Carlyle was the first announced series regular in mid-December 2008.
Smith, and Jamil Walker Smith as series regulars was announced in mid-January 2009.
Short character breakdowns for the series regulars (created for casting calls) leaked on the internet on September 17, 2008.
Brad Wright dismissed negative comments as a sole reaction to the wording of the network; character breakdowns are written to aid casting directors and agents in the selection process, and "always sound shallow, and if they're written to appear 'deep' it's just ridiculous".
Cooper replied to concerns of young age that the SG-1 cast was also quite young in their first season.
