Episode 140: Teryl Rothery

Vancouver actress Teryl Rothery brings deep-seated humanity to every role she takes on, whether she’s playing a kind and capable military doctor (Stargate SG-1) or the sexy actress in a Northern California town who sets her sights on the town doctor (Virgin River). Teryl’s lengthy filmography includes memorable roles in dramas (including Chesapeake Shores and The Good Doctor), Christmas movies, cartoons, superhero shows (like Arrow), and sci-fi and fantasy (including Travelers and The Haunting of Bly Manor and – of course – Stargate SG-1). In this revealing conversation, Teryl pulls the curtain back on where she comes from and what propels her forward, and reflects on the life and death of Dr. Janet Fraiser on Stargate SG-­1, how she ended up in a Babylon 5 wedding, and Virgin River’s Muriel. Also: COVID-19 coping strategies, a rousing round of Favourite Things, and a burning question from another Stargate doctor: Paul McGillion (Stargate Atlantis’ Dr. Carson Beckett).
