07.29.10 - Katee Unveils Her Comic Book Character, Versus!
SuperHeroHype.com has an exclusive look at the new comic book character from Katee Sackhoff and Sxv'Leithan Essex titled, VERSUS.
The character was supposed to make her debut at this year's San Diego Comic Con, but unfortunately that didn't happen. Katee explains why:
"Things got really crazy for the both of us with a few other projects which unfortunately took time away from Versus," says Sackhoff. "We wanted Versus to have an impact at Comic-Con and had some very visual ideas to make her seen but time became the enemy and we don't want her to get lost in the mix."
The character is derived from a concept thought up by Katee and Sxv'Leithan (aka Sxully). Sxully goes into more detail;
"Versus has a hidden bunker where she has the best militant minds as captives to make her weapons, gather the intel she needs, and make her wardrobe. All of them have different types of Stockholm Syndrome which makes for interesting character dynamics: one thinks she's insane, one is extremely sexually infatuated, another thinks she's a God."
We'll have updates on the comic as they come in!

05.19.10 - Portland Tribune Interviews Katee
There's something to be said about receiving accolades and recognition from where you grew up, and Katee has consistently received both from her home state of Oregon.
The Portland Tribune just posted a great interview with Katee discussing her role on 24 and Battlestar Galactica and how lying to family, friends and fans has become a bit of a pastime for her.
She also discusses action scenes, growing up in Portland and thoughts on being a celebrity.
Tribune: How relevant still are the themes of fighting terrorism in "24"? Especially given that there was just an attempted terrorist attack at Times Square when "24" takes place in New York City this year?
Sackhoff: Sadly, there will always be people in the world that want to do bad things, or believe that what they're doing is justified. It's a sad reality in today's world. I was in New York during 9/11 and it was the first time in my life that I truly felt terrified and unsafe and scared.

05.07.10 - Katee Says No to True Blood
Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello spoke with Katee about her reasoning for turning down a role on the hit HBO series, True Blood, and opting instead to go with the ABC crime drama, Boston's Finest;
"I am a huge fan of True Blood. It's a phenomenal show and [exec producer] Alan Ball is a f-ing genius. But I wanted more security than one season of something, so I rolled the dice with [Boston's Finest].
This entire business is about rolling the dice and hoping you made the right decision." - Katee
Boston's Finest is currently being reviewed by the network and a final decision is pending on whether the series will be picked up or not for the fall season.
A recent comment about the process revealed that Boston's Finest had "came in stronger than expected".
We're all crossing our fingers as we wait for the final decision.

05.04.10 - Entertainment Weekly Interviews Katee About Dana Walsh
If you haven't seen last night's episode of 24, and you don't want to be spoiled about what happens, I suggest you skip this article right now.
Katee's character on 24, Dana Walsh, was shot in last night's episode by Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland).
While not completely shocking (Dana has been a mole and aiding the terrorists throughout the season), Dana Walsh's death seemed a bit cold blooded, even for Jack Bauer.
Katee talks to Michael Ausiello for an exclusive Entertainment Weekly interview in which she talks about Dana's demise and fan's reactions towards her character;
EW: How was the whole 24 experience?
SACKHOFF: It was fantastic. Because of the way they shoot 24 you feel like you're never there. I kind of felt like I could go hang out at Coffee Bean with all the unemployed actors. Every time I'd get a paycheck I was like, "Oh, that's right. I have a job!" It was pretty easy compared to what I was used to. I've been so spoiled. I moved to L.A. when I was 17 and I constantly worked on television, so I've always been able to have, in a sense, a normal job where you go to work every day. And after Battlestar ended and [my NBC] pilot [Lost & Found] wasn't picked up I got completely disillusioned by the business. I had never done a pilot that hadn't been picked up, so I was like, "What?!" So I wanted to go back to something that felt safe and exciting and well-received, and 24 was a perfect fit. It's what I needed to get my footing and go tackle another pilot season.

05.03.10 - Katee's Movieline.com Interview
Today (May 3rd, 2010) Movieline.com posted a really interesting interview with Katee in which she discusses some of the most recent events her character is going through on 24 including being waterboarded (tortured).
She also discusses Boston's Finest and how she looks at her job in Hollywood as a whole.
The interview is one of the better ones I've seen in recent months. Here's a sample:
Movieline.com: Your character got waterboarded in last week's episode. What was your reaction when you got that script?
Katee: Well, when I first read it, I thought, "It's about time they do something to this poor girl." [Laughs] I was excited to do it because I've never been waterboarded, and I thought it would really be kind of fun. We tried to do it with a tube in my mouth, which just made it completely difficult, so I was like, "You guys are just gonna have to waterboard me." They were like, "Are you sure you’re OK?" and I was like, "Oh yeah. Just waterboard me."
Movieline.com: Katee! Who wants to be waterboarded?
Katee: It's pretty crazy. Like, [the scene] was just basically me holding my breath. It was pretty intense. There was one time where I actually breathed in and I thought I was gonna die. I mean, it hurt so much, because your lungs just take in tons of water immediately. For some reason with that towel [over the face] being soaking wet, your lungs suck in water. It's crazy.
I'm a bit insane when it comes to doing my own stunts and getting down and dirty. It's fun, you know? It's things I wouldn't normally do in my real life, so when I go to work and get to beat people up and shoot guns and get waterboarded, those are things I find completely interesting.

04.26.10 - Katee and Tricia Helfer: Dangerous Curves
Black Book Mag has posted an article today featuring Katee and Tricia in which they discuss riding their motorcycles.
For Tricia Helfer, a model, actress on Battlestar Galactica and owner of a Harley Dyna, riding is the one place she finds some solitude from the ever-present handlers in her business.
It's the only time "other than when a director yells, 'Action' there isn't anyone telling me what to do."
Katee Sackhoff, Tricia's co-star, good friend and Harley Fatboy rider, it's less of an escape and more of a way "to live your life instead of watching it pass you by."

03.26.10 - Fox Cancels 24
Yes, the rumors that have been circulating for a couple of months now are finally confirmed. The critically acclaimed, 24 comes to an end this season.
Kiefer Sutherland gave his thoughts on the ending of the Fox series;
"This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful."
The Hollywood Reporter states; 'As the weeks tick down to the show's final hour, Gordon promises a strong finish coupled with the current New York-based storyline taking a dark and creatively risky turn for the final episodes.'
Tune in Monday, March 29 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) for the next all-new installment of 24 and Monday, April 5 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) for a special two-hour episode.
03.08.10 - Interview with 411Mania
411Mania's Al Norton got to talk extensively to Katee about her various projects and of course, 24.
Al Norton: Was doing a comic book on your to-do list?
Katee Sackhoff: It was on my to-do list. I have a list of things I want to do, especially since I'm hitting my 30's.
Al Norton: When you hit a certain age it goes from being your to-do list to being your bucket list.
Katee Sackhoff: It's true. I'm calling this my third life crisis.
Al Norton: What are some of the other things on the list?
Katee Sackhoff: I want to go to Viet-Nam with my Father, that's on the list. I want to go dive in a shark cage. I want to go on an elephant safari in Botswana.
Al Norton: I'm glad the first one you mentioned might make you some money so you can afford to pay for the rest of them.
Katee Sackhoff: I know. Tricia Helfer and I are in pre-production right now on a documentary web series we are producing that we've called, "The Untitled Tricia-Katee Documentary Trek." We're going to drive cross country on our motorcycles. It's inspired by the Van Buren sisters, who were two socialite sisters in 1916 who, to relieve the burden from men serving in World War 1, volunteered to be motorcycle mail carriers, which at the time was a job men had to do on top of their other duties. They were denied and the Army stated women didn't have the strength or stamina to ride motorcycles, so these two socialite sisters got on 1916 Indian motorcycles and drove cross country to prove that women could do it. They drove the first two wheeled vehicle to get to the top of Pike's Peak in Colorado, they were arrested in Utah for wearing men's clothing; they were pretty amazing. They got to San Francisco they day they said they would get there, which in the mail delivery business is pretty important, and this took months. This was 1916 and even today the documentary is going to take us 25 days. They reapplied after they finished the journey and were denied again.
Because the sisters were trying to help the military, we decided we would raise money for the military with our ride. We decided we should give back. We're kicking around doing a simultaneous on-line auction.
Al Norton: You mentioned this was for the web but if someone came along and said, "hey, we want to put this on the air" I assume you'd be interested.
Katee Sackhoff: Of course. It's something we're kicking around.

02.21.10 - Katee Lands Leading Role in New ABC Crime Drama!
The Hollywood Reporter (one of many websites featuring the news) has reported that our own Katee has landed a leading role in a new ABC drama just in time for pilot season.
You all may remember last year that Katee's pilot, Lost & Found (co-starring Brian Cox) was passed over by NBC last fall which led her to her current role of Dana Walsh on Fox's 24.
It seems that given a number of options she went with this one:
The crime drama centers on a beautiful female detective (Sackhoff) who teams with a disgraced ex-cop to solve crimes and untangle the conspiracy that sent him underground.
The show is helmed by Richard Hatem (The Dead Zone, Mothman Prophecies) and so far a title has not been announced for the project.

02.16.10 - Chicago Now Interview
Katee is featured in Chicago Now in a lengthy Q & A talking about 24, her upcoming comic book, "Versus", her documentary with Tricia Helfer and a lot more!
Check out this excerpt from the article:
One thing I do want to ask you about going from Starbuck to "24" and other post-"Galactica" projects comes from some comments I've read on Twitter and from other TV writers. They're almost telling you what you should do with your career.
I know, right? Which ones are you referring to? I've seen a lot. I've stopped looking actually.
I was just wondering your reaction to those types of comments. That you shouldn't be playing "just " an analyst on "24" after playing Starbuck. But they don't know who Dana is; maybe you're the ringleader.
Right. For anyone to think that I don't have an ulterior motive with everything that I do in this business and I don't know exactly where my career is going in my mind, that's kind of a juvenile thought.
I am very calculated in what I do with my job to try and navigate this business and form the career that's going to provide me with the stability and the longevity to have a job when I'm 60.

02.08.10 - New York Post Interview and Q & A
The New York Post has an interview as well as a Q & A they did with Katee recently. She talks about doing stand-up comedy for the first time, some 24 secrets about her character, Dana Walsh, why she got hooked on Star Trek at an early age and tons more!
NYP: Some fans of those sci-fi shows are known to be lunatics.
Sackhoff: [Laughs] Well I'm not going to call them that. They helped launch my career and put food on my table. The ones I've met at conventions like Comic-Con I would describe as . . . very passionate.
The funny thing is most of them were expecting to meet a butch based on the attitude of my character [Captain Kara "Starbuck" Thrace] from 'Battlestar.'
When people saw me in a dress and heels they were confused. It was like a disappointing blow for them.
I'd be rich if I got a dime for all the times I heard "Oh My God! You're pretty."
read the entire interview here.
New York Posts's Pop Wrap Q & A:
PW: I remember reading nearly every actress on "24" say that picking a comfortable outfit is key to being on this show. How was yours?
Katee: Well, you see Dana in the first episode and she's got these nicely toned arms and this cute little outfit and I think the writers thought I looked too buff, like, "No, no, this doesn't work. She's too cute. We gotta get a jacket on her." Then they were like, "Why is she in a dress?" So I got some jeans.
I think everything that happens to Dana is because they want her in different clothing.

01.25.10 - Boston Herald Interview
The Boston Herald ran an interview with Katee today discussing the usual stuff. Always worth a read though:
"My goal is to beat Jean Smart (season five's Martha Logan) on how many times she changed wardrobes," Sackhoff said and then laughed in a recent telephone interview from Los Angeles.
The former star of "Battlestar Galactica" joined the cast of the Fox drama as CTU tech expert Dana Walsh.
Except for confirming that Dana will change her clothes, Sackhoff was tight-lipped on what was in store for her character.
"Dana is very intelligent, very capable, very nice," Sackhoff said. "She sees the best in everyone. She's got a little bit of a past, but who doesn't? We all did things in our teens that we wish we could take back. Her past is definitely not all that it seems to be. That's about all I can say. I would suggest, as a viewer, hang on, nothing is what it seems."

01.20.10 - BuzzSugar.com Interview
Katee did an exclusive interview with BuzzSugar.com's Becky Kirsch for a great Q & A that just came out recently.
She discusses everything from 24 to Avatar to BSG to being in a sitcom!
Check out a piece of the interview here:
On landing her new part:
I was excited. When it was presented to me, I had another offer to do a TV show at the same time. As a fan of 24, I was so curious. I dug a little deeper and talked to the producers about it, and obviously I had auditioned for it.
Ultimately it was such a great move for me, creatively and career-wise. I just kind of jumped at it, it was fantastic. And I continue to be excited about it, it's great.
On BSG's rabid fan base:
I love the fans. I owe Battlestar and SyFy channel so much that the only reason I would be sick of it is if I didn't have something to look forward to right now.
Because I do, I get to look back on it fondly instead of with resentment.
It's great. I love the show, I love the fans. It's phenomenal. I have no desire to go back -- it was two years ago, and I've definitely left it behind me, and I've moved on to hopefully just as exciting work.

01.16.10 - Chicago Now Interview
There's a really great interview on Chicago Now's website in which Katee talks (of course) about Dana Walsh and 24, but also discusses her joint-project with friend and former BSG cast-mate, Tricia Helfer, her new comic book and much more.
Here's a small part of the entire interview:
CN: Tell me about this doc with Tricia.
I can. I has to do with motorcycles. We're doing a documentary that's inspired by the Van Buren sisters--Adeline and Augusta Van Buren. They were the first women to ride cross-country on motorcycles in 1916. So we were inspired by them to find out what it means to be a women. We're going to ride cross-country and do a Ewan McGregor.
CN: "Long Way Down" and "Long Way Round" were great. That's cool and a great story.
It's pretty amazing. Yeah, they set out to prove that women could be motorcycle mail couriers in World War I. They were told that women weren't strong enough and didn't have the stamina for the job.
CN: And they were proven wrong.
Well, that's the sad thing about the story. I believe that the government and all the nay-sayers were proven wrong, but it didn't change anything.
CN: One thing I do want to ask you about going from Starbuck to "24" and other post-"Galactica" projects comes from some comments I've read on Twitter and from other TV writers. They're almost telling you what you should do with your career.
I know, right? Which ones are you referring to? I've seen a lot. I've stopped looking actually.
CN: I was just wondering your reaction to those types of comments. That you shouldn't be playing "just " an analyst on "24" after playing Starbuck. But they don't know who Dana is; maybe you're the ringleader.
Right. For anyone to think that I don't have an ulterior motive with everything that I do in this business and I don't know exactly where my career is going in my mind, that's kind of a juvenile thought.
I am very calculated in what I do with my job to try and navigate this business and form the career that's going to provide me with the stability and the longevity to have a job when I'm 60.
CN: Right.
Or 70. Everything I do has a reason for it. Sometimes its just I want to have fun. But there's a reason for everything I do. You know what? Sometimes, especially right now in this economy, it's just nice to have a job.

12.17.09 - Interview with IGN
IGN's Eric Goldman took some time to talk to Katee on the CTU set of 24 about Dana Walsh, BSG and Cylon secrets...
Katee: I went from a show that's clouded in this secrecy of who the Cylons are and blah blah blah blah blah and then I come to a show where I'm told right before I come out here, "You can't tell them anything. You do know that, right?" So it's very similar.
I think that because 24 airs so quickly, in that episodes come out so fast, that you kind of have to keep everything very secret because there are so many twists and turns that if I were to sit here and say some random thing, if it was a Starbuck thing, like, "I die in an episode" or something, it could potentially ruin the entire season. So it's one of those things where you just kind of have to keep your mouth shut, which I got accustomed to on Battlestar.
Q: So are you a mole?
Katee: I'm a Cylon.
Katee also talks about Starbuck and the possibility of another BSG movie with Starbuck included;
There's been talk of doing another Plan-esque movie.
I didn't do The Plan not because I didn't want to be in it. There was the option for me to be in it but we finished shooting and I was so exhausted and really sick, so I felt like it was better for me to not do it.
Maybe Starbuck would have gotten some sort of closure had I done that. I kind of like the way how it's been so vague.
Every person I talk to has a different idea of what happened to Starbuck. I have my own. I'm sure it's completely different from what the writers had in mind but it's really nice to kind of allow her to just have people have their own opinion as far as what happened to her and who she was, because I have my own. I like it. I like where she went.
Whenever I tell people, they're like, "That's not what happened." Okay, whatever!

In a recent interview with SciFiWire, Katee discusses what she can about the upcoming season of 24 and ends with her own take on what happened to Starbuck at the end of Battlestar Galactica;
"I think she's with him. I think they're both dead, but I think she's with him.
That was a decision that we made, because I selfishly wanted her at peace, and the only way to do that was to have her with someone at the end, or to be with the person she wanted to be with.
I don't know. That's kind of where I think she is. She's with Michael Trucco playing pyramid in the sky somewhere."

"But he can't recognize what's right in front of him because he's mesmerized by fantasies about women from sci-fi. The scene is his mental image of Katee, but she's telling him the truth, that he's missing out on real life."

10.21.09 - Katee on The Big Bang Theory!
The news broke today that Katee will be appearing on the hit CBS comedy series, The Big Bang Theory.
She will be appearing in a cameo playing herself on the November 23rd episode and "will play Wolowitz's fantasy woman" says The Chicago Tribune, who broke the story today.
Fans of the show will probably remember Michael Trucco (Anders from BSG) making a guest appearance as a jock/scientist who was a love interest of the character, Penny.
Katee says, "As a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory I am thrilled to be a part of this show. I'm so excited to be back on CBS where I got my first big job almost 8 yrs ago.
Tune in Nov 23rd to Watch me play.......well "Myself"!"

8.14.09 - Dana Walsh Bound for Action!
Katee is currently shooting her parts for Season 8 of the hit show 24, which she of course became a cast member of earlier this year.
Her character, Dana Walsh, is a computer guru and data analyst so you might think that our girl will be stuck behind an LCD monitor all season, right?
Not the case. Apparently Katee will be getting out from behind the desk by episode 5 of Season 8 and will resume her butt-kicking prowess that we've come to know and love via her role as Kara Thrace on Battlestar Galactica.
Season 8 of 24 begins airing on January 19th of 2010 and will also feature BSG Alumni, Callum Keith Rennie in a guest starring role. You all might have remembered Katee spilling the beans about this on her Myspace and Facebook awhile back.
Katee has expressed how much she feels at home on the set of 24, and part of that has been not only due to a great production staff and awesome cast, but also due to one of her first episodes being directed by BSG director, Brad Turner.
24 Executive Producer, Brannon Braga commented recently regarding why they chose Katee for the new season;
"Obviously, we're all fans of Katee from Battlestar, and we were looking for this role of Dana Walsh -- that's the character's name -- a character who is really smart and part of a new CTU, that is what we're calling CTU 2.0.
It's the next generation of CTU. And we wanted to find someone who just had an inherent strength and intelligence, but was also very beautiful. That's a very hard role to cast, and Katee fit the bill."
