Christopher Judge
From the Stargate Official Site:
Teal'c is an alien of the species known as Jaffa. The Jaffa carry infant symbiotes in pouches in their bellies. This symbiote is the larval stage of the Goa'uld. There is a strong symbiotic relationship between the larva and the Jaffa as the symbiote guarantees its host immunity to diseases. For this reason, Jaffa live to be very old. Once a member of the Apophis's notorious Serpent Guards, Teal'c left his family and culture behind when he joined the SG-1 team. His main reason for joining is to defeat the Goa'uld and to try to set at least some of his misdeeds straight.
Although Christopher Judge seemed pre-destined to have a career in football after receiving a football scholarship from the University of Oregon, becoming a three time All-American and playing in the Hula Bowl, he always knew he wanted to be an actor.
While in Oregon, Judge entered a contest to host the West Coast FOX KLSR Morning Show. His witty five minute monologue help him beat out thousands of other hopefuls for the job. This break lead him to several guest star appearances on such television comedies as Martin, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Lush Life, and The Jamie Foxx Show. Television series guest star credit include The Burning Zone, Wise Guy, 21 Jump Street, MacGyver and Gabriel’s Fire before becoming a series regular on Sirens where he played Richie Styles. Judge’s feature film credits include lead roles in The Glory Years, Little Feet, Bird on a Wire, Cadence and House Party II where he played the memorable antagonist Miles. More recently, Judge co-starred opposite Jennifer Beals in the film Out Of Pocket. He is currently in development with STARGATE Executive Producer Michael Greenburg and Michael's brother Ross Greenburg, Executive Producer of HBO Sports to bring the Joe Louis story to the screen.
Judge studied Drama at the renowned Howard Fine Studio in Los Angeles and continues to be an avid athlete.
Last year Judge produced and starred in the short film entitled Hacks. This past hiatus, Judge fulfilled a long time ambition and recorded his first CD. The first single to be released is entitled "We're Going to Take Our Clothes Off."
His distinctive voice can be heard on the animated series Action Man (Simon Gray), Book Of Virtues (Plato) and X-MEN (Magneto).
Judge likes to relax by spending time with his children Christopher, Cameron and Catrina.
