In fact, although in the series it is possible to see soldiers and technicians wearing in their uniforms flags that identify them as Russians, Japanese, South Africans, Belgians, Germans, Britons, Spaniards, etc, all main and secondary characters of earthly origin, except Zelenka, are from the Anglosphere: Americans, a Canadian and a Scotsman.When actor David Nykl mentioned his Czech Canadian background during his audition for a Russian character for the season 1 episode ' Thirty-Eight Minutes', the producers changed the character's nationality to Czech and cast him.

Since Zelenka's first appearance, David Nykl's fluent Czech was worked into Stargate Atlantis as part of Zelenka.
