There's an interview with Chris in the latest issue of The Official Stargate magazine, issue #27:
As the Athosian Halling, actor Christopher Heyerdahl never gave any hint of the creepy within – and then Todd came along. In the latest issue, the man behind everyone’s favorite Wraith talks about his multi-dimensional character: “I’ve always said that Todd feels a brother in Sheppard. And Sheppard is the kind of guy that won’t acknowledge it publicly. He said things when they spent time together in that little cell that he would only say in private. In public, Sheppard’s always saying, “I don’t like that guy, I don’t trust that guy.” He protests too much – he’s Lady Macbeth, right?” US issue for sale February 24.
Sanctuary will be relased on DVD in the UK on March 3rd, 2009

2009-01-10:
And so Stargate Atlantis ends :-(But while not as long a run as Stargate SG-1, 5 years is still more than most shows get.
Chris Heyerdahl was in the first episode and the last, and lots in between - 22 in total which amounts to a full season). He played Halling in the premiere episode, and he played Todd in the finale, and during the five seasons, he repeated both characters, plus played a bunch of anonymous wraiths.
And while Halling was a human, it was as the wraith Todd he spawned multiple fan sites and groups and lists. Gotta love an interesting bad guy!
Site Updates:
Updated the resume and added a bunch of wraith links.
News - slightly old, but ...
In October 2008, Scifi announced that they were renewing Sanctuary for 13 more episodes - production begins early 2009.

Since Christopher Heyerdahl's height is an obvious trait of his, I have been trying to verify it since there are different heights listed.- 2,01 meters (6'7") - IMDB.com
- 1,92 meters - TV.com
- 1,93 meter (6'4") - Agent's website
The loser: IMDB.
Not a big surprise really ;-)
The agent ought to know his client better than IMDB does.
