Battlestar's Alessandro Juliani Dishes on Gaeta's New Love

Battlestar Galactica's 10-part webisode series "The Face of the Enemy" comes to a stunning conclusion Monday, four days before the show airs the premiere of its final season Jan. 16 (10 pm/ET, Sci Fi). In this stand-alone webisode series, Cylon model "8" (Grace Park) and Lt. Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) take center stage in a gripping tale of murder, betrayal and survival. Alessandro spoke with TVGuide.com about filming the webisodes during the emotional end of the series, how he feels about the revelation that Gaeta has a boyfriend and much more.

A brief excerpt:

TVGuide.com: And I'm sure working with Grace Park (Sharon/Cylon "8") was also really fun.
Juliani: Shooting the webisodes was hilarious. It was at the very, very end of Battlestar as we know it. The series had wrapped, and the prequel film that will come out after the end of the series had wrapped. It was just us: a skeleton crew and me and Grace and a few other actors. It felt like we were making a little student film or something. They were packing the set up around us in between takes. It was sad but kind of fitting; out not with a bang but a whimper. I think the last shot we ever did — you would have seen in the webisodes — was shot in a little tent that was supposed to be on New Caprica. If you had seen outside of the tent, you would have laughed because it looked like a construction site area.
