The cast of the hit sci-fi show Continuum made a special appearance at Fan Expo Vancouver 2013. Fans of the show set and filmed in Vancouver enjoyed a chance to ask burning questions of the time twisting crime drama.
Rachel Nichols plays Kiera Cameron, a police officer for a corporate run law enforcement organization in Vancouver in 2077. The dedicated officer is torn from her family when she’s thrust into the year 2012 along with a fanatic group of terrorists from her time period.
Erik Knudsen plays Alec Sadler the young computer guru who helps her in the present day but could be destined for a dark future. In the shocking season one finale we learned Alec grows up to the corporate overlord who is ultimately responsible for Kieran losing her family.
Nichols and Knudsen told me how the future revelation affects their characters bond and sets the drama for season two.
Fans may remember Nichols from her big break as Agent Rachel Gibson on Alias by J.J. Abrams. (That’s where I first fell for her!)
Nichols now has an impressive reel of film and television roles (Alias, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Conan) in which she gets to test her physical limits and kick butt on-screen. I asked Nichols about her favorite action scenes and how the experience has helped as an actress.
Watch Continuum Sundays at 9pm on Showcase in Canada. SyFy Channel aired the first season in the U.S.
Rachel Nichols holds an important role in the Star Trek mythos and sci-fi geeks. Nichols played a green-skinned (definitely not an Orion slave girl) Starfleet cadet who was romanced by Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) beat the Kobayashi Maru test in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek reboot.

I’m so envious that you had the opportunity to chat with Rachel and Erik! Can’t wait for season two of Continuum!
They were really cool. Thanks for the comment. Hope SyFy picks it up.
