Sy Fy Portal posted a new interview with Star Trek Deep Space Nine actress Nana Visitor, in which she talks about her recent role in Battlestar Galactica, Dark Angel, the potential actor's strike and more. Here are few excerpts of the article.
"It was real acting, like I hadn't done for a while, and [it had] real writing," Visitor told fans about Galactica while attending the recent Vulkon convention in Orlando, Fla. "I loved it. I was very impressed all the way around. I though it was a great show."
"I was on the set for maybe four or five days, or something like that, and it was a real rough set," she said. "You felt the world of 'Battlestar Galactica' being very rough, and every set was dark, and it was tough. It was a whole different atmosphere."
Especially compared to the last time Galactica producer Ronald D. Moore and Visitor worked together on Deep Space Nine.
"Our show had three huge soundstages that you walked in one door and you were in the world, and there were real doors," Visitor said. "It was like Disney World as opposed to Disneyland. There was no scale. It was what it looked like."
The full interview cen be found at Sy Fy Portal.
It's all from Saturday's SyFy Radio broadcast that can be found at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/SyFyRadio.
SyFy Radio will have George Takei tonight at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
