[edit] Stargate Atlantis Character

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details about Stargate Atlantis seasons 1-3 follow.

Chuck Campbell started on Atlantis as a stand in for David Hewlett but was later given a role.^[2] He first appeared in Season 1, and essentially replaced the character of Peter Grodin as Elizabeth Weir's assistant after Grodin was killed in The Siege part 1.

For three seasons, Campbell's character did not have a name, and he was always credited as "the technician". However, in First Strike, Weir refers to Campbell's character as Chuck, which is of course his actual name. Speaking at the Pegasus 2 convention in the UK, Campbell stated that he thought this was a mistake on Torri Higginson's part, but the director decided to keep the scene anyway. It is unclear whether his character will officially be called Chuck.

On the DVD commentary tracks, he is sometimes referred to, jokingly, as "Chucknician", an amalgam of Chuck and technician.

[edit] Jason X

Chuck plays Tsunaron in the last Jason film Jason X. This last installment was made with a more tongue-in-cheek feel than the others, which was one of the factors which made Chuck consider the role.^[3]

In an online interview, Chuck was asked the question: 'Why do you think the Friday the 13th movies have been a bigger hit than other thrillers featuring serial killers?'

His response: "Interesting question! I think it might be the car accident syndrome, where sometimes you don't WANT to look, but you always end up turning your head to see what happens. They are so unrealistic and usually quite graphic with their violence, that it becomes almost silly, and you start to laugh and wonder how is the next person going to die. Maybe everybody just likes a really good villain, and I think Jason is probably in the top five."^[4]
