Sackhoff Chats “24”
Written by Ian Cullen on November 19, 2009 – 10:35 am -
It’s no secret that the new series of 24 or Day 8 is to be set in New York, and as reported earlier in the year Katee Sackhoff who is best known for playing Kara [Starbuck] Thrace in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica has left her viper behind to portray an FBI Counter Terrorist Agent on the series.
In a recent interview for SciFi Wire Sackhoff revealed a little about her role of Dana Walsh who also happens to be the boss of Chloe who has never dealt with the likes of Dana before now. “Dana is permanently happy,” Sackhoff said. “I think that also pisses Chloe off, because Dana’s like, ‘Oh, no, it’s totally fine that you don’t get it. Let me help you. It’s great. I’ll do that. It’s fine. You don’t need to figure it out, because I’m good enough to do both our jobs.’ So that really pisses Chloe off.”
When it comes to talking about her role in 24. Sackhoff reveals that Dana is a tad more cerebral than the rough and tumble Kara [Starbuck] Thrace and adds that her role in 24 is her chance to have a more earthbound role, which means she can have time in the sun.
As to the plot. Sackhoff like the rest of the cast is under somewhat of a gag order, but she did joke that something happens at CTU New York. “I was like, ‘Seriously? I don’t know if anyone thinks that’s actually a big secret,’” Sackhoff joked about her gag order. “Could you imagine? So this is a 24 episode, and the whole season is just about nothing. No controversy, nobody dies, nobody gets beat up, Jack Bauer doesn’t do anything. He might not even show up, and for 24 hours that would just be what it is. Could you imagine?” That might actually be funny for like the first six hours. “It would, and then people would go, like, ‘Are you serious?’ Just office lives. I’m handing my files to Chloe. They show us at lunch.”
