The Battlestar Galactica movie has reportedly added
Tricia Helfer (Six), Grace Park (Boomer), Callum Keith Rennie (Leoben), Rick Worthy (Simon), and Matthew Bennett (Doral) to its cast. Edward James Olmos (Bill Adama), Michael Trucco (Anders), Aaron Douglas (Tyrol) and Dean Stockwell (Brother Cavil) were already confirmed as on board the project, which leaves Lucy Lawless (Three/D'Anna) as the only Cylon model from the original invasion as yet unaccounted for. Also according to
Maureen Ryan's source, Tigh (Michael Hogan) and Tory (Rekha Sharma) will have small parts. The movie will focus on two Cylon agents who have to come to grips with the failure of the Cylon's plan to wipe out human civilisation.
