Feature: Battlestar Galactica (2000s) - Identity Crisis

Hero, celebrity, husband... Cylon! Now Anders’s secret is in the open, can he dare to hope for a better future? Actor Michael Trucco discusses…

Some people spend half their lives trying to ‘find themselves’ and figure out their place in the world, but for professional-Pyramid-player-turned-resistance-fighter Sam Anders that seemed obvious, even as the world was turned upside down around him. At least it did, until Battlestar Galactica’s third season finale revealed that he was, in fact, a humanoid Cylon, one of the Final Five. But, with the Cylons attacking, he didn’t have time to dwell on it, as the newly trained pilot showed where his loyalties lay by flying his Viper into battle against the machines.

Shooting those combat scenes was a dream come true for the actor who plays him, Michael Trucco.

“I was like a kid in a candy store,” he enthuses. “After two seasons on the show, not to mention being a fan of Galactica, to finally get a chance to sit in a cockpit of a Viper, I mean, how cool is that. I love that the fourth season opens with a ‘bang’ and we’re right in the thick of things. Sirens are going off, lights are flashing, it’s a full-fledged attack and our heroes are throwing everything they’ve got, including Anders, at the Cylons. Coincidentally, I had done a lot of cockpit work before on a TV show about military fighter pilots called Pensacola: Wings of Gold. Almost every week our characters spent time in the cockpit and, just like Galactica, we’d have a similar shooting set-up with a mock-up plane sitting on a gimble and the camera right in front of us...

What’s on Tonight

New on cable is "Sanctuary" (Sci Fi, 9 p.m.), a series about a woman who collects fantastic and odd creatures and monsters in her castle-like home. Amanda Tapping of "Stargate SG-1" runs the place; she recruits a skeptical forensic psychiatrist played by Robin Dunne, who elicits a Harry Potter-Daniel Radcliffe vibe. Highly dependent on green screen technology, it doesn't seem like a bad series. Tonight's premiere is two hours.

Lansing State Journal (Lansing, MI):

TV tonight

• "Sanctuary" debut, 9-11 p.m., Sci Fi Channel. At first, this seems like a drab crime show, but with nastier deaths. A young forensic psychiatrist meets an all-knowing person (Amanda Tapping of "Stargate"). Stick around, though. We'll meet a tough teen (Emilie Ullerup) and a scary guy; it all fits together.

Sanctuary (Sci Fi)

Series Premiere: Friday at 9pm on SCI FI

Stargate SG-1 fans will be thrilled to see Amanda Tapping (who played the brilliant Col. Samantha Carter on the SCI FI series) back in action as Dr. Helen Magnus, the (also brilliant) scientist who holds the secrets of a clandestine population -- a group of strange and sometimes terrifying beings that hide among humans. Along with her new recruit, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman, her quirky tech wiz Henry, and her fearless daughter Ashley, Magnus tries to protect this threatened phenomena and unlock the mysteries behind their existence. Viewers who go ga-ga over special effects might be interested to know that "Sanctuary" is the first series to shoot extensively on green screen, using virtual sets and amazing visual effects.
