Foil Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I noticed that RDA's credit comes before the show title! I think it's because RDA is also one of the producers of the show, or had some managerial role later on. He doesn't just make his money from acting, like lots of other stars, they take a role in the production behind the scenes once they're established.. helps them make more dough. I read a little interview they did with the guy who plays baal. Simon something. He said they were more relaxed on the set now that RDA was gone, even though he was only there for brief shooting times. I pulled this quote from the Homer Simpson thread since it was starting to get off track and this probably deserves its own thread with title. I would be curious in reading that article. Is there anyway to upload/link it? I can't really understand the connection to RDA's producing and the peoples comfort on set unless he had some hiring/firing power like an executive producer.

wahaha Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 He worked them like dogs (slave unas) when he was behind the camera I imagine. I'll try to find the article. I think it was on gateworld.net under the season 9 episodes for simons interview. Forgot to mention, RDA I think has his own production co, that might be linked to MGM and the making of SG1.

Could be instead of RDA's desire to make "more dough" he wanted more creative control. Not everone is out for the all mighty dollar.

IMHO. c4 B) I believe that several early SG1 mini-documentaries stated that RDA was *offered* a role as producer, not demanded one as part of his contract. Either way, I think you're probably right that it had more to do with the creative department than money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahaha Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I found it. I was right heh. His gekko is working with MGM.

Guest c4evap Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Ah...I don't think anyone was disputing the fact that his production company was involved with SG1...the dispute revolved around his reasons - money or creativity. c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str82u Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Mr. Richard Dean Anderson Gekko Film Corp. 1122 South Robertson Blvd. Suite #15 Los Angeles, CA 90035 You know he saw an opportunity and took it, the show originally aired on Showtime and I don't remember that RDA had any control until about season 3, but that's just what's floating around my mind.
