Biography Stait was born in Snow Lake, Manitoba. Though it is commonly said that Stait left ''Andromeda'' due to an allergic reaction to the prosthetics his character required, a 2011 interview revealed his departure was motivated by "physical exhaustion" from wearing the full Rev Bem costume. Stait substituted for the body of Michael Kenmore in his Wraith form in the ''Stargate Atlantis'' episode "Allies", though Connor Trinneer continued to provide the voice. Trinneer returned to the full role after this singular episode as shown in "The Kindred (Part 1)".

Snow Lake, Manitoba
Snow Lake is a town in Manitoba, Canada, located 685 km north of Winnipeg at the end of Provincial Road 392. The main industry is, and always has been, mining; currently with one mine producing Zinc, and another lithium. The official Town of Snow Lake is a very large, overwhelmingly rural area that is centered about the urban community of Snow Lake, which lies very near its geographical center. The Town is as large in area as a typical rural municipality in the more southern parts of Manitoba. Possibly named for a local family (Rudnyckyj) or because early settlers "found the water in the lake as soft as the melted snow" (Files, Manitoba Department of Natural Resources). Mining Mining always has been Snow Lake's major industry. Two separate mining ventures have operated in the community over the past 40 years. TVX/Kinross/High River operated the New Britannia Mine, which closed in January 2005, and HudBay Minerals, which operated 12 area mines. They were/are Lalor Mine, ...

Rosencrantz And Guildenstern
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are characters in William Shakespeare's tragedy ''Hamlet''. They are childhood friends of Hamlet, summoned by King Claudius to distract the prince from his apparent madness and if possible to ascertain the cause of it. The characters were revived in W. S. Gilbert's satire, ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern'', and as the alienated heroes of Tom Stoppard's absurdist play, ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead'', which was adapted into a film. ''Rosencrantz'' ("rose wreath") and '' Gyldenstjerne/Gyllenstierna'' ("golden star") were names of Danish (and Norwegian, and Swedish) noble families of the 16th century; records of the Danish royal coronation of 1596 show that one tenth of the aristocrats participating bore one or the other name. James Voelkel suggests that the characters were named after Frederik Rosenkrantz and Knud Gyldenstierne, cousins of Tycho Brahe who had visited England in 1592.
