Full name: Michael Garrett Shanks.
Date
of birth: 15 December 1970
Place of birth: Kamloops,
BC, Canada
Place of residence: Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada. Commutes to LA to spend time with his oldest daughter, Tatiana.
Height:
6ft (and he really is)
Eyes: Two. Blue. Has a habit of
making Direct Eye Contact which results in breathing difficulties
and heart flutters. Although the Authorities have been alerted,
they haven't yet been listed as Lethal Weapons.
Hair:
Light brown. He likes it short.
Distinguishing marks:
mole on left cheek (yes, his face). Appendectomy scar.
Facial
Hair: Currently none apart from the occasional appearance of
stubble. We don't discuss the 'hamster' he was sporting on his chin
for his film, Sumuru. The hamster is retired. The film screencaps
live on.
Family details: The youngest of two brothers
(no, I've no idea if the older brother looks like him or his marital
status but is it likely that much yumminess could happen twice in
one family?). Two daughters, Tatiana (b 1998, mother Vaitiare Bandera -
she played Sha're in Stargate SG-1) and Mia Tabitha (b September
2004, mother Lexa Doig)
Married: Yes. The adorable Lexa
Doig (2 August 2003) of Andromeda and The New Professionals.
They met while Michael was filming an Andromeda episode, Star-Crossed
(Lexa played Andromeda, an android who falls in love with guest
star Michael's android, Gabriel. Sweet, huh? He returned for
a follow up episode, Day of Judgment, Day of Wrath)
