Battlestar Galactica TV-Movie Cast Additions
The new Battlestar Galactica TV-Movie begins shooting this week in Vancouver, and TV Guide has an update on who exactly is starring in it.
SCI FI Channel has previously confirmed that Dean Stockwell (”Cavil”), Michael Trucco (”Anders”) and Aaron Douglas (”Chief Tyrol”) would be seen in the movie, which takes place during the early days of the series and shows more of the Cylon perspective immediately following the attack on the colonies.
Now SCI FI have informed TV Guide that the cast also includes Edward James Olmos (”Admiral Adama”), Tricia Helfer (”Number Six”), Grace Park (”Boomer”/”Athena”), Callum Keith Rennie (”Leoben”), Rick Worthy (”Simon”) and Michael Hogan (”Tigh”). It was previously announced that Olmos was directing the TV-Movie, but not that he was in it.

Notable by their absence from this cast list are series regulars Jamie Bamber (”Lee Adama”), Katee Sackhoff (”Kara Thrace”), James Callis (”Baltar”) and Mary McDonnell (”Laura Roslin”) – though considering the focus on the Cylons in this story, their characters are likely not needed. I wouldn’t read too much into Adama’s role as being a potential spoiler on his true nature, since it’s very possible (and likely) that events on Galactica itself will at least be glimpsed.
SCI FI have also said recent rumors that the final ten episodes of Galactica would not debut until April are not true – the series will return, as previously noted, in January, to begin the conclusion of Season 4 and the series itself. Presumably this means the TV-Movie will still air after the series finale.
