Robert Carlyle, the actor who starred in “The Full Monty,” will take the lead in Sci Fi Channel’s new series “Stargate Universe,” the Hollywood Reporter says. The program is the third series in the “Stargate” franchise, and will begin next summer by targeting a younger audience than “Stargate SG-1” and “Stargate Atlantis.”

Interesting to see if this will squelch rumors Carlyle was also being pursued as David Tennant’s successor to the “Doctor Who” franchise come 2010.
