Exclusive Interview: Tamoh Penikett Talks BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and DOLLHOUSE

January 16th, 2009

After parlaying five seasons on the critically acclaimed BATTLESTAR GALACTICA into a starring role in Joss Whedon’s highly anticipated new series DOLLHOUSE, some might say Tamoh Penikett is the luckiest actor in Hollywood. This TV Addict wouldn’t be one of those people.

As recently, we were given the opportunity to interview Penikett, whose incredibly concise and well thought out answers made it clear that ‘luck’ has nothing to do with it.

The following is what he had to say with regards to BATTLESTAR GALACTICA coming to an end, the fate of his character Lt. Karl C. ‘Helo’ Agathon and his role in Whedon’s upcoming DOLLHOUSE.

A brief excerpt:

What can you tell us about your DOLLHOUSE character?

Paul is an FBI agent who is given the case of the “Dollhouse.” Now I think, it’s kind of like his last case where he either solves it or he doesn’t. The fact is that it’s kind of a catch 22 situation. I don’t believe his superiors have any confidence that he’s actually going to get to the bottom of the dollhouse. Because anytime he gets any leads, makes any progress, he runs into walls and stops. But Paul is incredibly driven and once he starts something he has to finish it.

Jamie Bamber Promises Answers on Battlestar Galactica

Jan 16, 2009 - by Erin Fox

Jamie Bamber's run as the handsome fighter pilot, and now vice president, on Battlestar Galactica (Friday, 10 pm/ET, Sci Fi) will be coming to an end in a few months as the show draws to a conclusion. TVGuide.com spoke to the sexy Brit, now back in the UK filming Law & Order: London, about the questions that will be answered throughout the last season of BSG, how he reacted to the final script and why he stole his flight suit from set.

A brief excerpt:

... TVGuide.com: Was the end of the show satisfying to you, and was it emotional?

Bamber: Yeah, it really was. The way that scripts are delivered, people read them at different times, and I think I was one of the last people to read [the finale] — just because I was working all day. Other cast members had had time to read it, and I looked up at Aaron Douglas wandering around with his iPod in his ears and tears in his eyes holding the script. Different people were falling down [crying] as it were and you think, "What's up with everyone? Oh they're reading the final thing." So, I sat down and read it and the same thing happened to me, you know, you tear up. It was an extraordinary piece of work on the page. ... And, [it] was so character driven. It was like a piece of music, with repetitive themes and suddenly the whole five seasons of these individual's journeys was kind of all present on the same time onscreen. You felt the entirety of their experience. And that's really the climax of the show; it was about who the final Cylon is ... and we've already found Earth. All those things happen and then you're left with actually what the story's really been about. Which is: what is it to be human in a big old universe which is empty and cold and scary? What life is about and what consciousness is about? They're left at the end with these big questions on their mind. And, wondering what they should do with themselves having reached a place of finality. It was really profound.

Helo speaks: Chatting with 'Battlestar Galactica's' Tahmoh Penikett

By Rick Porter

January 15 '09

Tahmoh Penikett plays the stoic Helo on Battlestar Galactica, and as such he's not going to give away many specifics about the show's final episodes. (Nor, frankly, would I deign to ask, because he's a big guy.)

Penikett, however, was more than willing to discuss more general things about the final Battlestar arc, which starts Friday on Sci Fi. The actor, who also stars in FOX's upcoming Dollhouse (we'll have more on that as the show gets closer to air), says more than once that the story will "blow people away."

We discussed his thoughts on the show coming to an end, where Helo's head is now that the fleet has found Earth and one not very big spoiler. Here's what he had to say:



A brief excerpt:


Helo has always been the good soldier. How's he dealing with getting to Earth and finding it so devastated?

I think it's probably as hard on him as on a lot of people, but the thing about Helo -- so much was riding on this ... this was the last hope. Everything was about this, it was about discovering Earth. To come and discover it's been nuked, and whatever is left is ... pretty much uninhabitable and it's not what they were hoping, it would break a lot of people -- and it does. You discover that it will break more than a few people.

But ultimately, he's a father. He's a father and a husband, and that's his mission. He has to mourn like everyone else, but really what it comes down to is he's got a daughter to take care of and a wife to take care of. They're still alive and there's still hope, as little as it is.
