Tricia Helfer Models the Next Top Cylon

By TRexx / 07:15, 22 November 2005 / People

Tricia Helfer, known as the duplicitous Number Six to fans of Ron D. Moore's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, has been appointed as host of Canada's upcoming NEXT TOP MODEL, where she could be an inspiration for sci-fi's Next Top Cylon.

"A lot of actors come from modelling; a lot of girls try and get into acting, and some don't understand what's entailed," Helfer told Canada's SPACE channel.

Canada becomes the eleventh country to join the NEXT TOP MODEL television franchise, as CHUM TV signed a deal with CBS Paramount last year.

"With the multimedia that the world is now, modelling can be a stepping stone," said Helfer. "You have the Heidi Klums doing business empires and designing clothes, and Tyra Banks hosting shows, and so forth. It can be a stepping stone, and it's nice to have somebody that has gone on and done something else and is coming back with fresh eyes."

Female model applications are being accepted now through December 21st, with the show scheduled to premiere in May 2006. Catwalk cuties are invited to visit the CityTV site for details.

"I am going to give them a realistic outlook of what they can expect. It's going to be a lot of fun, but I want to impress upon them that this is a business," quotes Canoe Network Jam! ShowBiz.

A video clip of Alberta-born Tricia Helfer, talking about her new gig, is at VRRRM.


BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, the Season 2.0 DVD, can be ordered now for delivery next month in the U.S.A. and Canada.

What did he do/say on Corner Gas? That show is usually good for a few laughs.

Word is he was recruited a few years ago to move to LA to work for Entertainment Tonite but declined.

Speaking of running for PM, when's Justin Trudeau going to go for it? He'd so win in a landslide on his name alone.
