'BATTLESTAR GALACTICA' ACTORS DESIGNATE SPECIFIC ITEMS FOR CHARITY IN LIVE AUCTION JANUARY 17 & 18 IN PASADENA, CALIFORNIA

Published: January 13, 2009

Tricia Helfer's ("Number Six") Red Dress, Michael Hogan's ("Colonel Saul Tigh's") Liquor Bottle And Michael Trucco's ("Samuel Anders") Holsters & Knives To Be Auctioned To Benefit Charities

200 Items To Be Offered On eBay In Teaser Auction Beginning Monday, January 12

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – Tuesday, January 13, 2009 – NBC Universal Television, Music, DVD and Consumer Products Group has teamed with Propworx to offer an unprecedented opportunity for "Battlestar Galactica" fans to own a piece of the show, with an enormous two-day, live auction set for January 17 and 18. Hundreds of items from the hit SCI FI Channel series including costumes, props, set pieces and more will be offered at auction at the Pasadena Convention Center. The auction will also stream live at www.auctionnetwork.com so those unable to make it to Pasadena will be able to watch or bid online.

A portion of the auction's overall proceeds will benefit United Way. Additionally, several cast members have designated specific items that will be auctioned off to benefit other charities.

Tricia Helfer, who portrays the award-winning series' sultry Cylon "Number Six," has chosen her character's iconic red dress to be auctioned off for the benefit of four charities including the Richmond Animal Protection Society (www.rapsociety.com), Kitten Rescue (www.kittenrescue.org), World Wildlife Fund (www.worldwildlife.org) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (www.peta.org). Helfer originated the role of the humanoid Cylon "Number Six" in the SCI FI Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" miniseries in 2003. Her many film and television roles include NBC's "Chuck," "CSI" and USA Network's hit series "Burn Notice." She also garnered the "Leo Award" in 2005, Canada's equivalent to the Emmy Award, for her work on the second season of "Battlestar Galactica."

Michael Hogan, who portrays the series' troubled "Colonel Saul Tigh," has chosen the character's infamous liquor bottle to be auctioned off for the benefit of the Performing Arts Lodge (PAL) Vancouver (www.palvancouver.org). PAL Vancouver is a not-for-profit charitable society created to provide quality affordable housing and support for seniors in the performing arts and allied professions. An accomplished and award-winning Canadian actor, Hogan has appeared in countless plays, films, television series, radio dramas and even opera over the course of his career. Among his many award nominations are a "Blizzard" Award for Best Leading Actor in the film "Nights Below Station Street" from Manitoba Film and a "Genie" Award for Best Supporting Actor in the film "Solitaire."

Michael Trucco stars as "Samuel Anders" on the series, a former resistance leader on "Caprica" and "New Caprica" and then a Viper pilot on "Galatica." Trucco has designated several items including two holsters, a retractable knife and two rubber knives with holsters to be auctioned off for the benefit of Food on Foot (www.foodonfoot.org). Food on Foot is a not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to providing the poor and homeless of Los Angeles with nutritious meals, clothing and assistance in their transition to employment and a life off the streets. Trucco's additional television credits include "Beverly Hills 90210," "One Tree Hill," CSI" and "CSI: Miami."
"The preparations for the 'Battlestar Galactica' auctions are nearly complete and it has been a tremendous experience for all of us," said Kurt Ford, Senior Vice President Production Services Universal Media Studios. "We are really looking forward to offering all these fantastic props and costumes to the fans, who we know will keep the series alive. Between the live auction event and the series of online auctions, there will definitely be something for everyone."

As a pre-cursor to the live auction weekend, 200 items will be offered through eBay starting on Monday, January 12. This auction will include several smaller items from the series including "Admiral Cain's" books, Viper flight manuals and panels from Galactica's CIC. This auction will close on Monday, January 19.

This is a XL size T-shirt from the “Quench the Fire” event on Dec 2nd 2007, that was raising money for The Pain Center, a medical facility that deals with research, treatment and management of RSD (chronic pain).

Richard Dean Anderson was a guest at the event and spent time helping raise awareness for the cause, posed for photos and signed items, among which, this event T-shirt.

This is a rare item, from the First Annual Quench the Fire event (and therefore no longer in production), that was available ONLY to attendees.

Stargate Atlantis - The 'Broken Ties' Breakdown & Charity Auction

From Joseph Mallozzi's blog update for July 26, 2008:

June 26, 2008: The Broken Ties Breakdown

(Please follow the link for the complete blog update and to view the SGA season five production photos in their original format. A bald Ronon? EEK!)



Prepping the Wraith

For any of you interested in submitting a question for actor Mark Dacascos (aka Tyre from season four's Reunion and season 5's Broken Ties), you have until midnight tomorrow to get them in.



Mark Dacascos as Tyre


Tanja in the production office asked me to tells fans about a very special auction. Tanja writes: "I have just posted the last of the two North Face Duffle Bags we had autographed during the filming of `Continuum' on ebay. We auctioned the first of the bags in September `07 and raised almost $1000 for Ryan's (camera) son's charity. Ryan's son, Trey, has a disease called Hunter's Syndrome. This disease is part of the Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) family and causes damage to the cellular functions of the body resulting in damage to organs and mental development. It also affects the bones, skin, tendons and cartilage resulting in deformation.

I would like to ask you to help me promote this auction and to help me raise money for this charity.

The bag also includes Don Davis' signature which makes it even more special.

The link to the ebay posting.


Well, I guess that's it for today's entry. Thanks for stopping by…

No, wait! There was something else I was supposed to mention…What was it…?



Be careful of sharp swords


Oh, yeah. Broken Ties aired last night and you're all no doubt wondering "What the hell was he thinking?" Well…



Need a hand?

I knew I was going to write this story as far back as last season. From the moment I made the decision to have Tyre escape at the end of Reunion, I knew there had to be re-match. And what better slot than episode #3, one that has played host to Ronon stories in four of the last five seasons. I pitched out the bare bones idea to the room (Tyre captured Ronon and offers him up to the wraith who attempt to turn him) and we spent a morning spinning it. It was Paul who suggested we needed to see Ronon turn which dovetailed nicely with actor Jason Momoa's off-season request for his character to go darkside. So I sat down and beat out an outline, working with main goals: 1) Ronon had to go darkside and 2) I wanted these former Satedans to have a re-match but this time their role would be reversed and Tyre would be on our side. As I was working on the outline, I mentioned the script to our stunt coordinator Bam Bam and he expressed an interest in choreographing a sword fight, something we had yet to do on the show…



A bald Ronon? Eeek! Rojac!

There were a number of elements I wanted to balance in the script. Of course, there was the A story charting Ronon's capture, torturous treatment at the hands of the wraith, his turn, his rescue, and his equally torturous detox, but I felt it was important to juxtapose the big man's descent and restoration with Tyre's ascent and redemption.

There was also the matter of Teyla and the difficult decision she faced as a new mother, essentially having to choose between being a stay at home mom or continuing her dangerous job as an off-world explorer. And then there was Woolsey whose by-the-book priggishness belies a warmth, compassion, and vulnerability that I wanted to hint at if not glimpse. In addition to the aforementioned, I wanted to service the other characters by demonstrating their affection for Ronon (John's resolve in the jail cell, Rodney's inability to sleep) as well as their determination to get their friend back. In the end, I think it came together pretty well. This was certainly the most character-driven episode I wrote this season and I'm pleased that the character moments were what most of the fans took away from the viewing.

On to specifics: (please go to the blog for MORE!)
