Smallville alum, Alaina Huffman (Black Canary/Dinah Lance) is entering a new universe…Stargate Universe that is.  She is set to star in the new series on SyFy premiering this October where she stars with Robert Carlyle, Ming-Na and Lou Diamond Phillips.

You can check out Huffman’s new video profile here promoting the new SyFy series where she talks about her Stargate character, 1st Lt. Tamara Johansen, as a medic who is “quite skilled,” yet not without her insecurities.

“The whole experience for everyone is overwhelming,” says Huffman. “There is a lot of stress.” But showing a chink in a tough gal’s armor is largely what drew the actress to this role.

“I typically play really confident, ass-kicking characters,” she says with a smile, “so it’s nice to have that inner struggle.”
