He is also frequently an extra in the episodes that he directs. He is often assisting Sergeant Siler as a repairman using the oversized crescent wrench that is a crew inside joke. During the director's commentary for the episode The Serpent's Venom, Wood said that during rehearsals, Amanda Tapping, (Major Carter) would frequently surreptitiously pat his rear end whenever she passed him on set.
