Sebastian Flynn Loughman Hewlett, born 6th October 2007 I was in high school at Toronto's St. George's College Choir School for Boys that Ifirst appeared in 8mm and 16mm student films by classmate Vincenzo Natali, the future writer-director of Cube, Cypher and Nothing.
I dropped out of school his senior year in order to pursue both computer and acting careers starting in the late 1980s when i appeared in low-budget horror films like The Darkside and Pin and guested on TV shows such as My Secret Identity and Friday the 13th. Throughout this i also earned a living as in-house computer expert at the messaging network Voice-Tel Canada.
In 1996, after a series of Canadian movies such as Scanners 2 and Desire and Hell at Sunset Motel and an occurring TV role in
Kung Fu: The Legend Continues I landed his next high profile role, as computer whiz Grant Jansky on the hit Canadian series Traders. This earned Me two Gemini Award nominations, which was later followed by a Golden Sheaf award for the short film
Elevated where he played a security guard convinced he is under attack by marauding aliens.
I moved to Los Angeles and earned a high-profile role in an episode of ER, but ironically made more of a mark back in
Canada — appearing in three episodes of the Vancouver-shot Stargate SG-1 as astrophysicist Dr. Rodney McKay, now of the
Stargate Atlantis team.
Before joining Atlantis in 2004, I starred in Canadian movies, Nothing (directed by old friend Vincenzo Natali), Foolproof and
Ice Men, guest starred on TV shows Without A Trace and The District and headlined SciFi Channel movies Boa Vs Python
and Darklight.
