Paul McGillion (born January 5, 1969) is a Canadian actor, who has worked in television, film and theatre. He appeared on the television series Stargate Atlantis as Carson Beckett.
McGillion has appeared in films, The Traveler with Val Kilmer, Confined with Emma Caulfield, and The Deal with Christian Slater. And has starred in the 2003 multi-award-winning film See Grace Fly. He stars in the short film A Fine Young Man, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews and won the Leo Awards for Best Short Film and Lead Actor for McGillion.
McGillion expressed great interest in auditioning for the role of Montgomery Scott in the 2009 eleventh Star Trek film. "I grew up watching Star Trek and Scotty was my favourite character. It would be a great honour to follow in James Doohan's footsteps," McGillion said. He had the endorsement of Chris Doohan, the son of original Scotty actor James Doohan, to play the role of Scotty in the film. Though the part ultimately went to Simon Pegg, McGillion still appeared in the film in a different role.
McGillion appeared in season 7 on the TV series 24 as Dr. Levinson, a doctor who tried to extract a dangerous pathogen from Jack Bauer's bloodstream.
McGillion appeared as the husband of a dying patient, in a season 3 episode of The Good Doctor.
