A Day in the Life of Tricia Helfer on the set of Battlestar Galactica
Friday, August 3, 2007 - Battlestar Galactica Season 4.0 Episode 8

I thought it would be fun to show a little of the silly side of working, so my sister followed me to set and took a few snapshots during the day. We couldn’t show inside the set due to it being a spoiler if we did. The scenes we were filming were intense and we were short on time so unfortunately most of the pictures are of me. My sister is a nice Canadian girl who didn’t want to shove a camera in front of the other actors’ faces either, haha. — Tricia Helfer
