Chris Howell from The Great Link sent along this bit of news:
An interview with actor Michael Hogan (Battlestar Galactica’s Colonel Tigh) can be located in [TV Zone Magazine]. Here’s a few snippets from the full interview:
"When the original Galactica series was on TV I was aware of it but never watched it. So when casting began for the mini-series I had no opinion about it one way or the other. In fact, I passed on it the first time around because I was busy working on something else. However, that was before I found out that [Michael Rymer was directing the mini-series]. I also heard that Edward James Olmos was playing Commander William Adama. His resume speaks for itself. I mean, Eddie doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t want to, so I figured if he was involved then this had to be good."
"...['33'] was a pretty amazing episode to start Season 1 with. During the cast’s first read-through of the script, Eddie said ‘This sleep deprivation is serious stuff; we have to work on it’. We had doctors come on set to speak with us, and we did our research...the writing just kept getting better and better [in Season 1]. Some of the greatest TV ever done is, in my view, ['Kobol’s Last Gleaming, Parts 1 & 2'], it blew my mind when I read those scripts."
Thanks Chris!
