Michelle Forbes on Turning Down Deep Space Nine and Olmos Talks Galactica The Plan 

Features

By GustavoLeao / 05:26, 1 July 2009 / Deep Space Nine

Boston Herald posted a new interview with actress Michelle Forbes, who played Ensign Ro Laren in several episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation and Admiral Cain in Battlestar Galactica. Here are a few excerpts from the interview.

The actress talks about turning down the chance to become a regular cast member in Star Trek Deep Space Nine as the Bajoran officer Ro Laren (a role which later went to Nana Visitor as Major Kira Nerys) "I guess I was sort of stubborn and defiant right out of the gate," she said. "I just knew I was too young to do one thing for seven years. I think, like most actors, I want to be challenged. The most important thing to me is I just want to be scared when I go to work."

The full interview is here.

Plus, Sci Fi Wire just posted a new interview with Battlestar Galactica star Edward James Olmos (Adama) in which he talks about the upcoming Galactica TV Movie The Plan, which he directed. Here are excerpts.

"What their plan was, I think that's a big surprise," Olmos said in an exclusive interview last week at the Saturn Awards in Burbank, Calif., where he won an award for best actor on television. "Finding out what the plan was and how it was structured and how close they were to completing it."

Olmos also praised Grace Park's performance. "This woman should probably win everything possible," he said. "Her performance in The Plan is one of the most exquisite pieces of work on the film. You'll be very happy with your work."

The full interview can be found here.

Growing up leads to growing old and then to dying,
And dying to me dont sound like all that much fun...

Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Watch True Blood.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
