Basic Information

Much like Walter on Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis has a single technician who is responsible for most of the gate dialing, retracting the shield protecting the gate and external communications. For much of the first season Atlantis did not have someone specific to fill this role and the functions were often performed by wormhole physicist and assistant to Dr. Weir, Dr. Peter Grodin. After Grodin's death Chuck began serving in the control room on a regular basis. Chuck remained unnamed until the episode First Strike, when Dr. Weir finally used his first name. His last name remains unknown. Chuck is a Canadian citizen and wears the maple leaf flag patch on his shoulder.

Trivia

• Chuck Campbell was employed as a stand-in (probably for David Hewlett) on the show before getting this small recurring role and may have appeared on screen as an extra.
• Chuck appeared in more than 25 episodes credited simply as "Technician", starting in the first season episode The Brotherhood. He was finally given a first name in the third season finale First Strike, although his last name remains unknown and he still appeared in the credits as "Technician".
