HER DARK MATERIALS
 Bryan
Cairns gets the scoop from Battlestar Galactica's Cylon
newshound, LUCY LAWLESS.
"I love big philosophy stuff," grins Lucy Lawless about
Battlestar Galactica. "I'm not interested in doing procedural
drama. They just don't sit well with me. They are fantastic,
everybody loves them, and if you want to be taken seriously as
an actor, supposedly that is the type of show you should be on.
I think that is b.s.! It doesn't neccessarily show what a good
actor you are and I would rather do things that are personally
fulfilling and fun!"
Executive producers Ron Moore and David Eick have made it no
secret that Lawless' input was instrumental in fleshing out her
character, 'reporter' D'anna Biers. "Oh, I don't know," she
says modestly. "Every actor makes a contribution by their very
manner, they way they look, the way they walk, and what they
bring to the role is their whole history. The writers see
something that works and see some new potential in you and they
write towards that. Originally, we did speak about a religious
concept as is explored in His Dark Materials by Phillip
Pullman. He has an interesting take on God and since we are
talking about Cylons, it just seemed to fit. That was the
starting point for our discussion in taking D' Anna further."
