189: Kathleen Munroe, "Amanda Perry" in Stargate Universe (Interview)

Kathleen Munroe's performance as Dr. Amanda Perry in Stargate Universe really struck a chord with fans. Not only was her character a quadriplegic who had a chance to be free of her body, but the ending to the character -- if you can call it that -- was a sucker-punch. We are delighted to welcome Kathleen to the show to share stories from her career and her time on Stargate!
