Exclusive Interview: 'Battlestar Galactica's' Rekha Sharma

A candid conversation with one of the 'final five'

By Robert Falconer | Tuesday, January 13, 2009

With only two days left until the final 10 episodes of Battlestar Galactica debut on SCI FI Channel (SPACE in Canada), and 10 webisodes entitled "The Resistance" that have teased viewers during the interim break, anticipation about how this show is going to wrap is building to a fever pitch. By all accounts the series has been fortunate in that the producers had the opportunity to dovetail it's various story threads into a conclusion that satisfied them, something executive producer Ron Moore told TV Guide in the past few days.

"I think we were able to answer most of the questions that we’d raised over the years," Moore said. "And, sort of, to resolve most of the mysteries and at the same time give a resolution to all the character arcs and to wrap it up by the end. And we don’t save everything until the last episode. We sort of start answering questions along the way."

Chief amongst those questions, of course, is 'Who is the final Cylon?', something about which fans have been speculating across the blogosphere since the show ended its fourth season last March, with the fleet arriving at what — on the surface at least — is ostensibly Earth after some sort of apocalypse. Theories abound, but while we wait for the mystery to begin unraveling this Friday, we thought it would be appropriate to sit and chat with one member of the 'final five' for whom mystery and surprise has been a constant companion: Tory Foster, aka Canadian actress Rekha Sharma. As most readers well know, Tory embraced her inner Cylon (piss her off, say hello to an airlock) even while Tigh fluttered about in denial, the Chief cogitated, and Anders just went along with the whole thing, few questions asked.

For Sharma, it's a role that she has thoroughly embraced. The charming Vancouver-born actress — who has been featured on such American shows as Dark Angel, Smallville and John Doe, along with popular Canadian series such as DaVinci's City Hall and The Guard — is intelligent, warm, gracious and very cognizant of the fact that Galactica has offered a level of performance intensity and opportunity that comes along rarely for most actors. (To watch her debut scene on the series, click the Video tab at the top of the article.)

A brief excerpt:

Robert: Let's get right to it and talk about Galactica's final 10 episodes. Are you excited about what happens to Tory?

Rekha Sharma: Yeah...yeah...yeah. But I can't tell you what happens [laughs]. Other than to say it is beautiful, touching, heartbreaking and exciting. When I read the script for the two part ending there were about ten pages where my heart was literally racing as I was reading it. And there was another part where I was crying. I was on a plane and there was a woman next to me looking at me like I was insane as I was reading it and wiping the tears from my eyes.

A brief excerpt:

What are some of your favorite things about her [Tory]?

RS: "My favorite things, well, she’s way smarter than I am, in some ways. I don’t think I have what it takes to be a politician. She does. She’s very organized and very hard working. From playing her, I’ve come to sort of think about what it must be like to live your life as a politician and the expansiveness and the large vision you must have, you have to make some really tough decisions. While she hasn’t made those decisions, she’s supported Laura in making those big decisions. Yeah, it’s tough, it’s really tough. Fortunately, and unfortunately, I think that’s still part of her character, as she’s come to discover her Cylon nature, and she made a tough decision with Cally. Who’s to say it was the right one? She did what she thought was necessary in that moment."

Rekha Sharma who plays the recently revealed to be a Cylon, Tory, on Battlestar Galactica recently spoke about the changes in her role since she became a Cylon.

By Kenn Gold & Shaun Daily

Shaun> The character must be from Chicago, because only in Chicago do they know how to fix elections (laughs). Maybe you don’t like Tory anymore after what she did last week, but did you like Tory and fill out some of the background of the character for yourself?

Rekha> You know, I did, but not with details. I didn’t think it was necessary, simply because there is so much going on in the scripts. The writing is so wonderful; I didn’t feel like I needed to do a whole lot to fill in the gaps. But Ron and I did talk before we started the 4th season, It was really wonderful actually. I got to collaborate and send them my thoughts on the character on what my strengths and weaknesses were, and what I thought about how her existence was, which was great. So we did build that back-story for Tory coming into this 4th season. Yes, I do like Tory. I think for myself, and for most actors, you have to like your character. You have to have compassion for every human being on this planet, or else what are you doing being an actor? That’s my point of view anyway. I may not agree with some of her decisions, but I do believe she is doing her best. She’s one smart cookie. I certainly could not be the chief of staff to the president of the Universe, as I like to say. So I respect people who do those kinds of jobs. She’s extremely organized and she’s really together. To have her world broken apart, and to be forced to feel things that she’s never felt before, I can’t imagine what she’s going through. I do try to imagine, that’s kind of my job. But it’s hard to imagine.
