Eli Wallace may have the raw talent Dr. Rush never had, but his motivation for anything aside from video games and cereal was at record lows before stepping aboard the Destiny. Now he must push his wunderkid genius to the level of Rush’s experience while dishing advice to Chloe, working on his open ended Kino documentary and being the resident sci-fi pop culture guru. But as it happens, David Blue wanted to be Big Bird before wanting to be Eli Wallace: I’m a trained triple-threat. And as much as I love my acting career, sometimes I miss singing and dancing. My favorite class in college was Humanities. I loved learning about different cultures, religions and histories. I went to Space Camp. The first full song I ever taught myself on piano was Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel”. I hang up photos of my friends everywhere in my set trailer to make me feel at home. My favorite board game is Stratego. The first thing I ever wanted to be as a kid was Big Bird. I was heartbroken when my parents reminded me I couldn’t be him, because there already was one. I used to collect TV Guide’s that had my favorite shows on the cover. I had an entire drawer full of them. I was obsessed with LEGOs as a kid. I had a million of them and built entire worlds… then proceeded to destroy them. When I was young, I’d beg my parents every week to let me stay up to watch Saturday Night Live. They eventually got tired of me bugging them and one night said if I “could stay awake until it started, I could watch.” I fell asleep at 10PM. Follow David on Twitter @DavidBlue

Dr. Lisa Park’s composure and sensibilities might be the perfect antidote to Dr. Rush’s mad scientist impulses. These qualities, paired with her charm and quiet confidence, have resulted in a few under the radar, intimate moments with some of Destiny’s male crewmembers. Now you can find out a little about the beauty behind the brains: The first steps I ever took were in a sideways direction. My first crush was Atreyu in Neverending Story. I don’t have any tattoos. I don’t like mushrooms. I’m happy to sleep til 2pm if left to my own devices. I talk in my sleep. I’m a terrible dancer. I can speak a bit of French. I love telling and hearing filthy jokes. I love karaoke. Follow Jennifer on Twitter @SpenceJen

10 Things You Didn’t Know about Brian Jacob Smith He’s Colonel Young’s right-hand man, Greer’s partner in crime and Chloe’s confidant. And it seems every week, at least one crew member of the Destiny is saved as a result of his selflessness and heroism. You know him as Lt. Scott. Now get to know Brian J. Smith: When I was a kid we lived out in the country for awhile in TX - we had miniature horses, rabbits, a poodle named Rocky and an ATV. I’m really into military history, and spend way too much time reading about the Civil War, Vietnam, and Iraq/Afghanistan. I’m interested in how war changes us. I’ve got two MUCH younger brothers - I’m 8 years older than Cory and 14 years older than Billy. I was the designated diaper changer. If I could have any other career, I’d be a musician of some kind - a conductor, pianist, or a drummer in a rock band. I’m not a morning person at all, probably due to years of doing theatre. My ideal schedule is waking up at 10:30am and going to bed around 2:00am. I was a very skinny kid growing up, so I started working out in college to get a little more size and to gain some confidence as well. It’s been a big part of my life ever since. I got interested in Eastern philosophy when a teacher had us read ‘Zen And The Art Of Archery’ when I was at Julliard. Meditation has become a part of my daily routine, and I try to do it for 30 minutes a day. If I could have a home anywhere in the world, it’d be in the mountains of western North Carolina. One of the coolest gigs I’ve had was getting to work in London for six weeks shooting a remake of ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. That was my first time in Europe, and I loved it! One of my first jobs was delivering pizza for Pizza Hut when I was in high school. It was actually a cool job - I got to drive around town and listen to music all day. And everyone is happy when the pizza guy shows up! Follow Brian on Twitter @BrianJacobSmith

Every week, we watch the sharp and strong-willed T.J. rescue her fellow crew members from wounded limbs, foreign viruses and other impossibilities aboard the Destiny. Now get to know the woman behind the medic a little better, with facts straight from the source: I grew up in rainy (but beautiful) Vancouver Canada so I SUCK at doing my hair. I was convinced that I was going to marry Michael Jackson when I was younger. There’s a cassette tape of me telling just that to a physic when I was 12. I even made my Michael a cake every year on his birthday. At 14 years old I moved by myself (mop head and all) to Tokyo Japan, and then to Germany, where I worked as a model before shaving my head near bald and making a career dash into acting. I met my husband when I was 18 years old. 12 years later we are still best friends, a supportive parental unit and business partners with a vision for transmedia entertainment production. I have three amazing kids, Elijah (6) Hanna (4) Charley-Jane (10 months). I want one more child so I recently got a dog (Bridget) to tide me over. What was I thinking… she’s harder to deal with then my damn kids! I love to cook but I am the world’s worst baker… everything I attempt to bake turns into mushy stuff that you scrape from the pan. It tastes good but looks horrible. My production company is called BullyVision because my husband calls me “Bambi the Bully”. He says that I bully everyone into doing things my way without them ever even knowing it. Hey, whatever works! I launched a graphic novel with MTV on October 8th, 2010 at New York Comic Con. I created it with my husband John and writer Tony Lee. It’s called “Agent Mom”. I love writers. My dream is to work with the best people in the world who write songs, comic books, novels, television scripts and screen plays. After having Charley, I lost 30 pounds this year… mainly by pushing a limo length stroller stuffed with 120+ pounds of kids 7 miles up and down the hills of Coal Harbour everyday. Oh, and I cut dairy out of my diet. Follow Alaina on Twitter @alainahuffman.

Dr. Brody serves as one of Destiny’s most brilliant technical minds, the crew’s unofficial distiller of spirits and best of all, the prime source for dry humor and some witty, under-the-breath zingers. Lucky for us, actor and stand-up comic Peter Kelamis who plays Dr. Brody has a few wisecracks of his own: Was born in Australia to Greek parents… but hate lamb. Ride a Harley Davidson V-Rod named “Fergie-The Black Eyed V.” Did my first stand-up routine in front of my grade 4 class. Have two Boston Terriers named “Marylyn” and “Bugsy”… that go everywhere with me. Have a grandmother who was one of 13 children… if you introduce yourself to me as a distant cousin… I will believe you. Am very handy with tools… and renovated my last 4 places by hand. Am a huge Vancouver Canucks fan… this is the year dammit! Am married to Alannah Stewartt… not Rod Stewart’s ex-wife (as posted by some websites)… but I’m sure she is very nice. Have a re-curring nightmare every August when the “Back To School” commercials hit the air… the nightmare that I can’t remember my high school locker combination. Do a ton of cartoon voices for cartoons… “Rolf” from ED, EDD & EDDY, “Goku” from DRAGONBALL Z, currently in ACTION DAD, 1001 NIGHTS… etc. Follow Peter on Twitter @PeterKelamis
