“Somebody at one point in my life told me I’m very androgynous,” Sackhoff told me. “And I never saw that in myself. I think what it was I lived in a small town and my dad always said ‘Play with the boys until you get hurt.’ And so I was bound and determined to keep up with the boys. I think he was speaking mostly in the context of soccer, but I took it in this life sort of way because I was hanging out with the boys and jumping over barbed wire fences and kind of had this desire to keep up with boys physically.”

Was that a role that was offered to you, or did you have to audition for it?

SACKHOFF: I did audition for it. It’s actually a crazy story. I went in once, and then didn’t hear anything. When I went in for the first time, I just met with David. And then, the next time, they were like, “Okay, it’s down to you and four girls.” I was like, “All right.” And they were like, “Vin’s in town, so you’re gonna have to jump. When they say jump, you’ve gotta jump.” I was like, “Okay,” thinking that it could be 5 pm one night, or 8 pm one night. I got a phone call at 11 o’clock at night, from all the producers and the casting director, which thank god the casting director is a woman because I would have been like, “You want me to come where?”

So, at midnight, I got out of bed, I took off my face mask and I drove to Vin’s house with my mother on the phone going, “If I don’t call you in an hour, this is the address I’m at.” And she was like, “Katee, nothing is going to happen.” I was like, “I know, but this is so weird!” And, I got the job because I showed up. I truly believe that. When I was driving home that night, at 2 o’clock in the morning, I called my mom and said, “I do believe I just got that job because I showed up.” As far as acting goes, you get to a certain point where I think everyone can do the job and it comes down to a level of commitment. I think sometimes all you have to do is show up.

They are part of the Death Watch, which has been absent since their attempt to take over Mandalore in Season 2. Now they’re stronger and far more dangerous.

In the episode, “Ahsoka Tano is reunited with Lux Bonteri, the handsome young Separatist who opened her eyes to the fact that the war isn’t always black and white. When Lux suddenly barges into a peace conference between Separatists and Republic delegates, he involves Ahsoka in a dangerous search to find justice for his mother’s death. Dave Filoni directed the episode.

In the movie, written and directed by David Twohy, the Battlestar Galactica alumna will play Dahl, a Nordic mercenary tracking Riddick (Diesel). Production on the sequel resumed recently in Montreal after a two-month break due to financing issues.

The actress, who co-starred on the final season of 24 and did an arc on CSI, has movies Haunting In Georgia and Evil Sexy Genius coming out later this year. She is with Gersh and Bleu.

She has also had prominent rolls on 24, Bionic Woman, The Education of Max Bickford, CSI and Nip/Tuck, plus done voice work for Robot Chicken and Futurama, as well as for video games including Halo 3, Spider-Man: Edge of Time and Batman: Year One. She will be appearing Saturday/Sunday.
