Robin Dunne Leads the Way Into 'Sanctuary'

This afternoon's cuppa: English afternoon tea (nice to be literal once in a while)

On the Sci Fi Channel series "Sanctuary," airing Fridays since Oct. 3, CGI effects are used to create virtual sets and worlds that surround the actors, who work almost entirely in front of green-screen backdrops.

But just because a world isn't real doesn't mean you don't need a guide if you choose to visit it.

"It's a treat for me," says actor Robin Dunne, "because I'm entering into this world like the audience is. The audience is looking at this new world through my eyes.

"I feel like we're experiencing things together. We can be in each other's heads, myself and the audience -- not literally..."

Battlestar Galactica - 24 Hrs Vancouver - Grace Park Interview

At 24 Hrs Vancouver (Vancouver, Canada):




Saying Grace

By GRAEME MCRANOR, 24 HOURS

Few actors will admit picking their profession strictly for fame and fortune. Ask why they do it and they'll no doubt mention passion or art - they might even scoff at the question and say acting chose them.

Not Grace Park. She became an actor ... for the catering.

"When I started doing a bunch of commercials, when I showed up they're like 'Do you want to have lunch?' and there'd be this huge table of steamed mussels and fresh-made bread and salads, just a massive spread," she says, laughing. "When I grew up, we'd go to a nice dinner - besides McDonald's - twice a year. That was it. The rest of the time, we were at home. My mom cooks very well, thank goodness, but if you only go out twice a year and then all of a sudden this is totally available every day and you get a [trailer] ... it felt like I was being taken care of, and it was pretty awesome."

Well, at least she's honest.

These days, Park is as hot as the lunches she loves. She's probably best known for her dual roles as cylon-humanoid copies Sharon Valerii/Sharon Agathon on the cult-hit Battlestar Galactica, her roles opposite Benjamin Bratt on A&E's The Cleaner and as Homeland Security Agent Liz Carver on the second season of The Border...

- Season 2 of The Border airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on CBC. Park can also be seen in her first feature role in West 32nd, which screens at the Asian Film Festival this weekend. Info at: http://www.vaff.org.

The PCZ Interview with Sanctuary's Amanda Tapping: Part Two

By Joseph Dilworth Jr. ⋅ November 7, 2008


In Part Two of our interview with Amanda Tapping, we talk about the relationships on Sanctuary, some things that are coming up on the show and her other work, including Stargate. Part One can be found here.

PCZ: I noticed you are playing up in the early episodes the easy-going relationship between Helen and her daughter Ashley, which is obviously leading up to Ashley finding out who her dad is, and I'm assuming a fairly big falling out. Is that something we get to see before the end of the season?

AT: Oh, definitely. There's an episode coming up called "The Five" (airing 11/14 - ed) that actually explains a huge part of the mythology of the show and a lot of things are blown wide open. There's a cool twist with one of the featured characters [and] Ashley finds out a lot of information. It ties together a lot of the mythology that we're weaving right now and the relationship between Ashley and Magnus is so interesting both before and after. It's a mother-daughter dynamic in the truest sense in so many ways, but then it's also completely off the map when it comes to how they deal with each other.

... Thank you again to Amanda Tapping for taking time out of her busy schedule to talk to us! Sanctuary airs Friday nights at 10PM on the SCI FI Channel.
