Lucy
Lawless is set to reprise her role as D'Anna Biers in
Battlestar Galactica
for the show's third season, during a 10-episode story arc.
D'Anna Biers originally appeared in the episode Flight of the Phoenix, as an
investigative journalist who arrived on the Galactica doing an expose on
alleged crew misconduct that resulted in the death of four civilians.
Although, oddly enough, her documentary actually generated sympathy and
respect for the crew - thus healing the growing rift between the civilian
and military populations within the fleet. As it turns out it soon becomes
clear that D'Anna was actually one of the deadly Human-looking Cylon agents,
who was sent to Galactica on a covert reconnaissance mission.
The episode
Downloaded will be Lawless's second guest appearance and will air on
Friday, February 24, and the episode will give viewers their first real
glimpse into the Cylon world. The second half of Season Two of
Battlestar Galactica
premiered on January 6 (See our
continuing reviews on page 76).
Lucy Lawless is no stranger to the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genre, and she is best
known to audiences as the fierce and beautiful Xena: Warrior Princess.
Lawless has also appeared in The X-Files,
Tarzan, Bernie Mac,
Two and a Half Men,
Less Than Perfect,
Just Shoot Me and
let's not forget her guest spot on
The Simpsons, where
she battled the comic book collector. She recently starred in the television
movies Locusts and
Vampire Bats.
Lawless also played a memorable role in the feature film
Eurotrip and appeared in cameos in
Sam Raimi's Spider-Man and the Horror movie
Boogeyman. She will next be
seen in the psychological thriller
The Darkroom.
Lawless joins Battlestar Galactica's ensemble cast for what is already an
eagerly-anticipated run. The series is executive produced by Ronald D Moore
and David Eick - who was instrumental in originally casting Lawless in the
role of Xena.
Season Three begins production in Vancouver in April.
