The X-Files star David Duchovny, Stargate Atlantis cast members Paul McGillion and Jewel Staite and Battlestar Galactica stars Tahmoh Penikett and Kandyse McClure are among the actors auctioning off dinner dates to fund the cancer treatment of a fellow actor in Vancouver, Canada, the Vancouver Province newspaper reported.
The stars are auctioning off personal dinner dates and other items on eBay to benefit Babz Chula, a fixture in the Canadian city’s movie, theater and music scenes, whose cancer has recently spread from her breast to her liver. Chula is seeking treatment in Austria that isn’t covered by her health insurance, the newspaper reported.
Chula’s friends, including Men in Trees co-stars Suleka Mathew and Nicholas Lea (formerly of The X-Files), came up with the online auction, which runs through April 12.
Also on sale: dinner dates with musician Matthew Good and X-Files creator Chris Carter, as well as TV and movie memorabilia.
The newly formed Babz Chula Lifeline for Artists Society also aims to help other artists in need and is planning other projects to raise money and awareness.
