IGN Exclusive: Katee Sackhoff Talks Battlestar and Bionic Woman
IGN TV: I know you can't say much, but any hints you can give about Season 4 of Battlestar? Sackhoff: We will find Earth. And I'm not a figment of people's imaginations. IGN TV: Ah, so you are allowed to say that. Sackhoff: Yeah. I think it's the only thing that I can say! Sackhoff: I'm happy about it. It is a choice that was made by us. The rug was not pulled out from underneath us. We're going out on a high, with our heads held high. We made the choice and we're going to be able to decide our end and our fate, instead of [having to] wrap it up as fast as we possibly can because we've been cancelled. And it was a smart thing to go out on a high. And you know, this is my fourth series. I think I've done more television than anyone else on the show, except maybe Eddie [James Olmos], because of Miami Vice. He's right there with me! But I've done s**tloads of television, and every single show the rug is pulled from out underneath you, and you're going, "What do I do now?" And this is such a great opportunity to wrap it up, say everything you want to say in your character, and put it to bed. IGN TV: I've seen Bionic Woman, and it's great. Sackhoff: Thanks! IGN TV: Did David approach you and tell you he had this role for a bad guy to see if you were interested? Sackhoff: When we didn't know if Battlestar was getting picked up or not, David called me about the [Bionic Woman] pilot. And when Battlestar got picked up, he said "I think we're gonna have to move on." And I told my agent, I said, "Call David and tell him I want to play the nemesis, please." So I went in and I auditioned, and it was a lengthy process. I went in four times to audition, and it was almost as bad as my Battlestar audition. And I ended up getting the part. IGN TV: Were you initially talking to David about playing Jaime [the lead role] or either part? Sackhoff: [Smiles and shrugs] IGN TV: Gotcha! Well you get to play such a cool villain in it. Sackhoff: I always wanted to play the villain, from day one. I read that script and went "Sarah Corvus, I'm gonna do that." I'm gonna play the character that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and I'm gonna carry it home. I'm gonna knock it out of the park. IGN TV: I spoke to Michelle Ryan recently and she told me shooting the big fight scene you two have was really exciting. What was it like for you? You have more experience than her with those types of scenes. Sackhoff: I do. I felt bad for her, because she was in training for about a month and a half for that fight scene, and I had about ten minutes, and I was like, "Alright, let's go!" Because I was filming another film at the same time. I was flying back and forth between another province [in Canada], Regina, and flying back and forth from Regina to Vancouver, doing double duty. So I didn't have time to learn the fight. Maybe an hour two weeks before the fight scene, and then on the day going "I got no idea. What is the combo? Oh, alright, cool. I'm good." Michelle's like "I've been doing this for like a month and a half and you can do this?" And the fight coordinator walks up to me and goes "I'm not worried about you. Just make sure she doesn't hit you in the face. She's never done this before." I'm like "Oh s**t!" But Michelle did a great job. She was superb. I'm very, very, very proud of her. IGN TV: Did you get to pull up a lot of different facets than you have before, playing the bad guy? Sackhoff: Starbuck wears her emotions on her face. Sarah Corvus is very [makes a stoic expression]. You will not read her, ever. IGN TV: On Battlestar, you had that big fight scene with Number Six, where she was the powerful robot attacking you. This time you get to play a robotic, super-strong person yourself. Was that a different experience? Sackhoff: [Nods] Your movements are different. There's not as much erratic power behind it. It's more just that you're strong and you don't have to hit hard. You're just that strong. So it's just movement. There's more of a flow to it, instead of this [makes erratic punch movements] ugly street fighting. IGN TV: So what kind of conversations have you had with David about how much you might be appearing on Bionic Woman? Sackhoff: I can't say But I will be back. IGN TV: It must be nice to know that as one show is ending, another is beginning. Sackhoff: Exactly! It's nice to know that my mortgage will be payable for another year!
