Avery asks:
Hi, Tricia. I just wanted to thank you for the work you do with PETA and other rescue groups (my cats would like to thank you too!) How did you become involved in this work? Your new ad is lovely (and Mr. Nix is precious!)

Tricia says:
Mr. Nix is a doll. He's so wonderful and cuddly and cool. I just love animals and want to help. I wish I could do more, and will when I stop traveling so much. I met Kitten Rescue in L.A at a Petco (they were showing an adoption event) and felt they had the same spirit as I do, and wanted to get involved. The PETA ad was something I feel strongly about - that animals are part of your family and you treat them as such. PETA does some great work and gets an awareness out there so I wanted to join. I've also gotten involved with a rescue in Vancouver, Richmond Animal Protection Society, that does great work. I find it rewarding to help out, even if in a small way.

i just saw the black cat episode of spectacular spiderman and want to know how was it playing this sexy feline and is she going to come back in the series
-- 2008-05-20 07:32:34
Tricia says:
Well you've got me beat. I haven't even seen it yet, haha. I have done 3 episodes for The Spectacular Spiderman. Two have aired and one yet to air (next year, I think). I had a lot of fun voicing Black Cat - it's such a great character to be able to play with and the crew working on it are great. Funny story though - the first episode that I taped, I didn't actually realize that it was a morning show. I thought it was an evening show so I didn't think kids might be watching. Meaning, I had less filter when it came to the voice. She's definitely more sultry that I might have played her if I knew it was for kids.

Todd asks:
Tricia saw you last night on Craig Fergurson and thought you were great, my question did you think he left you hanging? he seemed if he was out of it , did not bring up your new movie or anything felt like you had to bail him out also what kind of farm did you grow up on, i lived on a dairy farm for a few years and loved it even though it was hard work, thanks for taking the time on my question.
-- 2008-05-23 12:15:57
Tricia says:
You may have felt that way about the show because Craig and I actually just chatted and didn't really cover most of the pre-interview topics. I watched his monologue while I was in my dressing room and thought it was very funny so I ended up referencing things he said in the monologue and we just went from there which may account for some pauses. I may have caught him by surprise a bit, I don't know, but I had fun. Both times I've done his show I've had a good time. I find him very funny. Most talk shows are practically scripted (well, you have a set of talking points from a pre-interview with a segment producer), so it's fun to kind of go off that a bit and just chat. As for the farm, I grew up on a grain farm - wheat, barley, oats, rye, canola, peas, lentils. We had cattle until I was around 12 and then went strictly grain. We also had chickens. Now, it is predominately hay.

laurafhl asks:
I regret to say that I never saw you before your role in BSG and I must say I think it has to be one of the most (if not the most)challenging roles on the show.
When the Chief held Boomer in his arms as she died and when Baltar helped Gina in prison was when I really began to see the complex nature of the cylon as portrayed in fiction of course LOL.
But you do it so beautifully. Honestly Sharon (the Boomer model) is my next favorite actor in the show.
Now for the question. If "we" humans made you, and you are human in every way with the addition of some mechanical insight, (honestly you seem more like clones than machines to me) how can we possibly justify destroying you? What is your own personal insight into that delemna? Thanks. Laura

Tricia says:
I agree that the humans shouldn't destroy the cylons, and the same in reverse - that the cylons shouldn't destroy the humans. Your question is basically one of the main premises of the show. Who has the right to destroy who? Should anyone be destroyed? Who is right? Are both sides wrong? I think that's one of the strongest things about the show, is that it makes people think and discuss. It's not couch potato fare.

Andrew asks:
Are you as seductive and able to make men bend over backwards with just a glance, as you are in Battlestar Galactica? :-)
How are thing now, since the popularity of the show have gone through the roof?
-- 2006-11-03 18:07:47
Tricia says:
Haha, I don't know about that. I'm much more normal in real life and actually quite a bit of a goof. That's not to say that I haven't been intimidating to some men, but that's usually more their issue than mine. I don't set out to be intimidating. As for what it's like for me now that the show is successful - well, most people don't recognize me when I don't have the white wig on. I look quite different when I'm off set so I don't really come across it as much as other actors on the show.

Mr X asks:
Tricia, would you like to be remembered for any particular achievement (past, present or future), and if so what would that be?
-- 2006-10-19 10:34:13
Tricia says:
I'd like to be remembered for being a kind, honorable, hard working person. I'd rather be remembered for being a good person, than a particular achievement - although an Oscar wouldn't be bad, haha.

littlebigman asks:
Have you ever been or thought of being a Bond girl :)
-- 2008-04-26 04:42:53
Tricia says:
No, I haven't been a Bond girl although I have thought about it. I quite liked the last one and I think Daniel Craig makes an excellent Bond. I certainly would be interested if they came calling, but, that hasn't happened yet.

CyberViking2000 asks:
I noticed in a Petra magazine cover (in your web site) that you were wearing a dress with straps forming a pentagram. Did the magazine do that deliberately, or was it just chance? Why do I ask? Just curiosity. BSG plot twists have that effect on people. :)
-- 2008-04-18 02:26:21
Tricia says:
The cover you're talking about is in the "archive" section of my site and was taken years ago, when I started modeling. I think I was 18 years old because I have my natural brunette hair colour. Not long after that it was cut off and dyed blonde. Of course, it has been practically every colour and cut since. I digress, no, it had nothing to do with BSG.

Camus72 asks:
Hello there,
I would interested to know your thoughts concerning the albeit fairly loose concept of the ‘cult of celebrity’ pertaining, more specifically, to that of beauty. That is, whilst I would scarcely doubt that you work very hard, and, although I am far from an authority on such matters, you seem to be a more than competent actress, how do you reconcile the fact that your success, fame, and rewards are largely derived from circumstances that stemmed from something largely unearned; that being, in rather blunt terms, your looks? I am loathe to entertain tired clichés but do you ever entertain thoughts that the benefits you enjoy as a result of your circumstances seem grossly disproportionate in terms of the utilitarian value, the sacrifice, and effort of other professions and pursuits? I realise this is potentially a very large topic with multiple factors for consideration, however, I would be very interested to hear a few of your thoughts on this; it’s not everyday you get to ask Hollywood folk such questions! (so thanks for making yourself available to be asked)
Kind regards, Ian.
PS: For what it’s worth, don’t necessarily assume my thoughts on the matter are what you would expect from someone who would be motivated to ask such questions. I’m just curious really.
PPS: When exactly does a model reach the status of ‘super’? Who decides?
-- 2006-11-14 02:37:10
Tricia says:
I understand being curious and won't take this as if it was meant rudely. I also understand that it is a common conception, albeit a misconception, that actors don't work hard but get huge paychecks. People hear about the million dollar per episode or 20 million a movie thing and assume that all actors get paid an insane amount, which of course, is not the case. There's usually never a mention of the 10% commission to the agent, 10% to the manager, 5% to the lawyer, 5% to the business manager and numerous other "work" expenses that fly off your paycheck because that's just not as fun to talk about as the salaries of the highest paid actors. I will admit though, that I do take offense to you insinuating that I don't work very hard. Acting isn't digging ditches and it's not brain surgery but that's not to say that there isn't a lot of work involved, REGARDLESS what the person looks like. Just like I could never say how hard someone else works that is in a different profession than me, someone else can't say that I don't work hard if they've never stood in my shoes. I'm not complaining here, I'm just saying it's "the grass is always greener" scenario. Unless you've followed the exact path as someone in another profession, you can't judge what their life and work entails. It's life and work - just different work. There are many actors that aren't considered handsome/beautiful, so does that mean they work harder than ones that are considered handsome/beautiful? In life there are all sorts of different looking people and TV and film has to show that. Being considered pretty can also be a hindrance because the common perception is that you're not very smart and won't be able to act in the more difficult roles. Hence, you have to work hard to prove that you're more than just a pretty face. I've lost acting jobs where I had done very well in the audition but because I was "too pretty" for the role. It works both ways. I'd actually venture to say that being pretty would help you more in other professions where two people with very similar resumes are up for the same job. Looks don't matter then as it's not a "character" but I'd be hard pressed to say that it doesn't factor in. That's just life and the way society works, unfortunately. As for your model question - personally, I think the whole "super" is ridiculous. I guess it's supposed to mean the top working models, but would you call a top racking doctor a "super doctor?" I don't know how it got started.

Me asks:
How does it feel to have a perfect body and a perfect face? What is it like to be physically perfect? Do you feel that it is a blessing or a curse? What advantages and disadvantages are there to being flawlessly beautiful? Do you think there is a reason you were born physically perfect, or do you think it was luck? Did you have a hard time growing up being so different, or did you not notice it? Do you feel most people are viciously jealous or do you think most people admire and support you? When did you personally realize that you were physically perfect, and how did it change your life?
-- 2007-01-04 00:55:04
Tricia says:
Wow, I don't quite know how to respond aside from that you view me drastically different than I view myself. I'm not physically perfect by far. I'm not saying that I didn't do okay in the genes department, but I'm far from perfect. On TV, film and photo shoots there is a lot of attention on lighting, hair/makeup and retouching that definitely helps to improve flaws. I grew up very normal and still feel I am very normal. There are certainly some people who are close minded and choose to have a jealous attitude from a first glance, but there are probably a lot of things that bother them. Most people delve a little deeper and find out what you're like.
