Fur Ball at the Skirball 2010

September 13th, 2010 | T-Blog | 0 Comments

Saturday night, September 11th, 2010, Tricia was once again in attendance at the annual Fur Ball at the Skirball — a charity event hosted by Jenna Fischer and put on by and for the Los Angeles Kitten Rescue (a non-profit organization that helps find homes for cats and dogs in the greater Los Angeles area).
As you all know, if you’ve been checking out the site for the past couple of weeks, Tricia auctioned off seats at her Angel Table for fans and/or charitable individuals to sit with her and support a great cause.
In addition to the fans, friends and guests at the table Katee Sackhoff and Mark Derwin (24, The Secret Life of the American Teenager) were in attendance as well. Katee joined Tricia on stage for a live auction at the event where the two Battlestar alumni offered up the prize of them leaving a voicemail on someone’s phone as Number Six and Starbuck from BSG.

Here’s the video of that (shot by Justin Berger / HKL Films)

The event was a huge success as it is every year and a huge amount of recognition goes out to Jenna Fischer and Ben Lehrer who work very hard, along with all of the volunteers, to make a major difference and an impact in the rescue of local animals.
Please visit their official website and if you can make a donation, know that all of the money goes directly to help the animals as everyone involved is helping out voluntarily.

Enjoy these photos from the event!

The Black and White of ‘Dark Blue’

They make interesting pairs—the colleagues and the characters they play on the TNT series “Dark Blue.” A veteran of the long-running legal procedural “The Practice,” Dylan McDermott is now playing an LAPD lieutenant who heads a highly covert team. This season he is joined by Tricia Helfer, veteran of the sci-fi drama “Battlestar Galactica,” who plays his new superior on a joint task force between the police and the FBI. Sparks will fly on the series, but here the two actors congenially discuss their early struggles, work on the show, and thoughts on day jobs.

Back Stage: Tell us how you broke into the business.

Tricia Helfer
: I didn’t grow up wanting to be an actor. I thought you had to be kind of wild and crazy to do that and didn’t realize there was a whole other side to it. I started modeling. I was discovered, as they say. And toward the end of my modeling career, I was thinking, “Okay, this isn’t really doing it for me anymore.” I got into acting classes strictly to help with commercial auditions. And I fell in love with it from the first class. It terrified me, and I found it a huge challenge. I was living in New York City at the time. I started studying at Penny Templeton Studio and doing night classes while I was still working. About a year and a half later, I quit modeling and moved out to L.A. That was January 2002. I came out with representation. I was with a commercial agency in New York, Innovative Artists. I had my commercial agent come to one of the showcases my class did. They took me on theatrically from that. I got “CSI” that year, just a guest role, [through] auditioning.

Back Stage:
And then you auditioned for “Battlestar Galactica?”

Helfer: Yes, in January of ’03. It was the same casting directors that had done “CSI.” So they took me straight to producers. Being brand-new and green, I didn’t really know anything. But I auditioned for it, and I thought it went pretty well. But I didn’t hear anything for about two months. And then I got called back to test for it. And we had a work session. I had to ask what a “work session” was. It went extremely well, with the director Michael Rymer. And then tested the next morning. It was just a terrifying experience. It’s five hours long. No food. You don’t eat before you go in, because you’re nervous. They went through all the girls, and then all the guys, and then started pairing everybody up. I was the last group, and I ended up with James Callis, who played Baltar on “Battlestar.” And I’m about 5 inches taller than him. By this time I was exhausted, as he was. We heard it was the sexy role, so the other girls are all in cute little outfits with high heels, and I’m in flats and trying to be short. I just went, “Well, I’m not getting that role.” But James heard somebody say, when we were in the room, “That’s it.” That was the next five years of my life.

Tricia Helfer: It’s fun to play a character that people don’t hate!

Jarett Wieselman

There are no downsides to playing a character so iconic even their repeating red dress becomes recognizable. There are no downsides, that is, until the series ends. Yet Tricia Helfer has never been boxed in by her “Battlestar Galactica’s” Six — continually finding work on the small screen since that historic series wrapped last year.

Chalk it up to her chameleon-like abilities to seamlessly embody a wide berth of characters or the fact she looks little like her robo-vixen without that bleach blonde bouffant, there’s no denying that Tricia has made the most of her character’s iconic status.
