The entire regular cast and crew are buoyed by the energy Michael Welch [teen clone Jack] brought to the roll. Amanda Tapping recollects, "I don't know how many episodes of Stargate this poor boy had to watch, but he studied hard. He's a wonderful young actor very unassuming, very smart, really nice guy...He studied and had all these 'Rick-isms'. They weren't even 'O'Neil-lisms', because they are so Rick. We were all just laughing our heads off, and when the two of them finally met it was just 'Oh My God! It's like mini-me.' It was fun and very, very sweet. He was doing all these hand gestures and nuances, and had a nice sense of timing too. Richard Dean Anderson was delighted."
