How Suanne Braun Won The Role of Hathor (Dial the Gate)

[@GateWorldDotNet]

THANKS FOR WATCHING! And a big thanks to Suanne for spending time chatting with David. Look for the link to the full interview in the description above. "Dial the Gate" also recently talked with another of our favorite Stargate women: Teryl Rothery, who played the beloved Dr. Janet Fraiser. Check that out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6Ssk2OcoZJ4lZo

I love that your doing interviews with all these chatacters/actors, but will you do one with Ronny Cox (Sen. Kinsey) , would really love to see that one.

[@grigorione7824]

Got any plans to do an interview with Ona Grauer ? She has been in all 3 SG series.( I am sure you know that though! )

[@GateWorldDotNet]

As we work our way through all the guests announced in early October David will be revealing his plans for the next batch of guests. Thanks for the suggestion! (We do have an awesome video interview with Ronny in the archives at GateWorld.net! There's also a chat with Ona there, though IIRC that might have been by telephone).

[@William_sJazzLoft]

Suanne Braun cast as Hathor was the consummate femme fatale. Seductive, gorgeous and devious all in one.

[@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU]

Yeah they made it work nicely in the end.. And she did too of course.

[@emergingloki]

I met Suanne (she interviewed me) maaany years ago while she was still working in South Africa. Cold shower was needed after that!!!

[@thefurrybastard1964]

I can well believe it!

[@thanksfernuthin]

That was awesome. She's quite the character. Good for her.

[@boredfangerrude]

I love how everyone you interview is able to joke around and make me laugh and just gives off a positive vibe.

[@missymoonwillow6545]

Suanne, you did fabulous dear! This was super quaint, I love these interviews so much! Thank you Gateworld!!

[@VCYT]

I kind'a fell in love with her as Hathor.

[@DriesduPreez]

This was awesome to watch. I remember way back when SG1 was broadcast on TV, I was very young but I remember seeing her and feeling so proud, being a fellow South African.

[@angelskyd]

My brother and I are in our 40's and we routinely do rewatches on SG1. He teases me every time Hathor shows up because he knows i've had a life long crush on her.

[@charlesfuller4363]

Hathor and Bal were my two favorite Goa'uld charachters.

[@UnknownUzer]

I remember seeing Suanne Braun as Hathor first run back in 97'... Insta-crush

[@CarlosRojas-su5lo]

she's so beautiful even now!!

[@RRW359]

"Is she a queen/royalty or is she mad?" The more I learn about history the more I think the latter is a requirement for the former.

[@JohnJ469]

You are mistaken. Only the lower classes are "mad", royalty is "Eccentric".

[@kurtsnyder4752]

A fanfic has her becoming a new Queen for the Tok'ra. Another has her leading the Jaffa for a while.

[@RRW359]

@@kurtsnyder4752 Was it a scheme or did fans actually think she should be a good person?

[@kurtsnyder4752]

@@RRW359 well, it was her plan. Now whether a "scheme"? Eh, tohmaytoe , tomahto. She may have been Ra's wife or consort or mate but was in her( assuming the Goua'ld do have genders apart from host's) own right as apparent co equal though apparently, due to what with the association of harvest blessings from her namesake and whatnot, perhaps not so obsessed with power. That said, in cannon, she was somewhat Possessive of male followers, females, er, not so much. Did not seem so much of potential genocidal as that being just wanting to be in control of her own destiny and needing humans for that end. Seemed perfectly willing to perhaps dial down the ambition and cooperate with SGCers, Kind of why alot of the fans think she was mistreated and with the fanfics to rewrite. Plus, some lot, me very much in this, would have liked to see more of the character/portrayer in the series,(yeah, easy on the hetero male eyes indeed) much like Anise/Freya with Anise dialing down the 'tude somewhat. On that episode where the "this" universe has appearances of alternate universe SGC teams, it would have been fun to have had a team with Hathor on it and another with Anise, even one with Ba'al(if he'd knock off he outrageousflirting he was doing all the time with Carter)!

[@kurtsnyder4752]

@@RRW359 "good" is relative and "person" if Goua'ld could as sentient beings be classed as persons. She was most assuredly ambitious, for own personal or for "subjects"? Definite dominatrix , though there, Could've been for out and out selfish or for really believing that hers was the correct way. Could be seen in some other franchises as the BC Sherlock's Irene Adler or the Doctor Who's Missy(Damn near biggest villain dose the heel face trope to hero?), or Supernaturals' Rowena and Ruby and Meg and Li;ith and The Darkness or in Tom Ellis' Lucifer where these characters cannot be strictly binary 1s and 0s; black and white. They went greyzoning there alot. Person Of Interest and Leverage and Burn Notice lived in the gray as did Dexter and Buffy TVS' Angel and Spike.

[@relaxwhc]

This channel is a gem for Stargate fans 💥

[@elijahtalbott7753]

What an awesome character! She is absolutely lovely though! What a trip!

[@bbbo68]

as a reminder: cows are very curious ad caring beings

[@Kez_DXX]

On that note, some trivia about Cuba. Castro made it illegal to kill cows for any reason ('to eat' being the primary reason) or you'd get 30 years prison without the chance for bail. Castro was obsessed with dairy products.

[@greengun8340]

What a sweet personality Suanne brings to the table. She seems like she would be so much fun to hang out with. Best of everything to you, Queen=)

[@brianwhiting3280]

Suanne, I for one am glad they didn't use Stone.

[@nathanieljefferies5491]

I see a hathor figure in the background…I just love it when actors take pride in their sci-fi roles. Far too often many of them are ashamed it cause of how relatively absurd the roles they play.

[@Lazerus2008]

Still absolutely smokin !

[@mellchiril]

OMG she's such a delight to listen to. She seems extremely genuine, and I love it. Hathor used to get me really annoyed, but I suppose in a way she was supposed to. I never thought it was badly acted, it was acted really well, the character just really got on my nerves. Which I suppose makes sense when you're dealing with a really seductive goddess who embodies all beauty and sexuality and you're a lady watching her wrap all men around her finger.

[@SamuelVain]

Oh my God when Suanne was making the faces at the end I freaking lost it laughing!

[@mctaylor0307]

She is absolutely gorgeous STILL...my biggest Stargate crush, and so sweet!

[@carolderuelle5568]

Holy cow you look wonderful you’re a beautiful woman of course I thought you were in Stargate also and I think you should be told how beautiful you are

[@RangerHouston]

Badass. She’s still got a rockin’ body.

[@adammason1776]

Great interview David. Miss StarGate Command website.

[@bobwhite6685]

Awesome

[@amethyst1826]

"Her earthly form is a cow!" Oh my, I just fell about, that was sooo funny!!

[@avesatanae]

I had SUCH a crush on this woman as a young lad.

[@peterjones-b5b]

She is still beautiful and alluring isnt she ... with a wonderful laugh !

[@damienrobbie5974]

Love her!

[@TexasTimelapse]

For 52, she is smoking hot!!

[@boredfangerrude]

No kidding!

[@boredfangerrude]

@Jeff Davis Lol, opinions.

[@antoniolittera2154]

Stunning!

[@mrbojangles8133]

lord Hathor we salute You.

[@krissmith2396]

goddess

[@VCYT]

FYI - She was born on the ''29th'' of february.

[@thehorcrux1138]

My teenage years fantasy girl... IYKWIM

[@i.like.humans.]

I have a pretty good Picture from Hathor as my phones background...

[@AnonymousAnonposter]

😁

[@eledhwenmare2403]

Ok now I have to find the episodes.....

[@eddiecox9370]

Hathor was so hot

[@yodaz101]

SHE WAS HOT 🔥🔥🔥🔥and still is ... Very Nice 👍👍👍

[@russellbrooks3622]

Didn't matter that she couldn't wear full shoes at the time. They didn't want her to wear a whole lot anyway, and I was just fine with that. Hathor was hot. Suanne is still a beautiful lady. Great interview.

[@neosquirrel]

The thing that always bothered me with Hathor isn’t anything to do with the character herself of Suanne, but when the schvitz was lit on fire and she somehow climbed out unscathed from flaming...water?! you have to look quick because the stunt double is barely visible climbing out and for that matter escaping. I’m surprised there wasn’t extra coverage from a second or third camera of her climbing out. Eats at me every time I see it (plus again, are Go’auld birthed in kerosene or something?)

[@offilawNoone]

Hathor was good)

[@dentalgoon9965]

Aww she must have a sarkophagos at home!

[@RMCDOC]

I didn’t know there are collectible figures of the G’oauld .

[@fenixmeaney6170]

"she couldn't be a cat Or a tiger" Well, she WAS a lioness Until she got drunk

[@bobwhite6685]

She is such a babe

[@deltafenixdelta]

damn stil classy af

[@Greghouse]

4:40 i mean :-D

[@raminagrobis6112]

I can't recognize her at all. I do remember Hathor very clearly and somehow, I would have never known we're dealing with the same actress! Am I the only one?

[@chevon1920]

I don’t remember her having a British accent in that episode, 🤔

[@wilhelmhedin8845]

SHARON STONE?!

[@kurtsnyder4752]

No nishta needed here.

[@yodaz101]

A Cow......... ahahaha.......😂😂😂😂😂

[@mecurian485]

Funny, her accent is British, but her way of speaking is very South African.

[@MrRickkramer]

As far as Goa’Uld can go she wasn’t that bad on the scale of baddies.

[@kurtsnyder4752]

Don't have a cow, lady.

[@paulfarmer1605]

Ssssssssssss

[@tomgl6684]

Filming an alien from outer space impersonating an Egyptian goddess. "Can you do her in an American accent?" Fucking America, man. I swear to God.
