Sci Fi Wire posted a brief interview with former XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS star Lucy Lawless, in which he talks about he upcoming guest role in the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA second season episode "Final Cut". In the episode, Lawless plays reporter D'Anna Friel, who gets unlimited access to film aboard Galactica and documents the stress of military life during wartime.
"We were shooting video, and they are using footage that I and my crew actually shot," Lawless said in an Aug. 16 telephone interview from the set of the TV movie VAMPIRE BATS, which she is currently shooting in New Orleans. "It was really exciting, worrying about the camera angle you are getting, and you were truly being your character and fully concerned about shooting the footage. It was like shooting a movie within a movie."
Lawless said that she wasn't familiar with the series before she landed the role, but said that she was impressed with the show's universe. "The sets weren't all shiny, like the previous BATTLESTAR GALACTICA," she said. "They were grungy and all beaten up. It has that post-apocalyptic rawness. It's genius."
