Katee Sackhoff Sees the Light

“I think on Battlestar, we run into the problem where the directors come in and it’s such a well-oiled machine at this point that they just don’t have their hands on everything at this point that they could have or should for that matter,” said Sackhoff. “So I’m really not used to a director actually directing me. It’s been the most amazing experience in the world.”

Film editor Patrick Lussier continues to forge a directing career for himself, and Sackhoff thinks he has the chops. “I think some of the best moments that I personally have had as the character have come as a direct result of Patrick saying, ‘Do it this way’ or ‘Remember that she’s sweet,’ because I have developed habits as Starbuck. She speaks pretty monotone and that’s something I developed for her. It’s very easy to fall back into because it’s comfortable. And he reminds me a couple times, ‘Sweet, sweet, sweet.’ Things like that and it’s been the most amazing experience. So it helps. Thank God he’s been here.”
