My Take
For me, Ben Browder will always be John Crichton, the bewildered, resourceful astronaut who carried Farscape's strange galaxy on his shoulders, a performance that rightly earned him a Saturn Award. Then he stepped into Stargate SG-1, becoming a rare actor to anchor two beloved science-fiction series. Born in Memphis and a Furman University graduate, he writes and directs as well, which fits my sense of him as a craftsman rather than a celebrity. What I value most is his sincerity: he plays genre material as if it matters, and that conviction is exactly what makes it land. He's a name any science-fiction fan eventually meets.
