I'm sure some of you are going to love these bits:
I'd like to ask how it is to work with some colleagues of yours. What it's like working with Katee Sackhoff?
(laughing) Katee is like the class clown. She's always trying to make everybody laugh. She's always disruptive, in a good way. She's always... Her and Helo... I always call Tahmoh Helo, it cracks him up. Her and Tahmoh are forever always wandering around doing their little skits, pretending they're Russians. Just goofing off and being complete dorks. She's hilarious to work with.
Tahmoh Penikett?
Tahmoh? Tahmoh is the gentle giant. He's lovely, he's calm. If ever I need someone to bounce something off that I'm not sure about, like a scene that I'm doing, I go to Tahmoh and he's always got some great insight into it. He's very introspective, and if you ever need to talk politics, you go talk to Tahmoh.
I love how she's pimping Nobody's Watching again!!!
NobodysWatching.TV. Basically Paul's character is Paul.
Yeah! (laughing)
You're going to laugh so hard. He got... He's going to love me for this one. He got naked at my wedding!
What?!?
Yeah, yeah! He was naked at my wedding. Do you remember "Flat-Top"?
Yes.
Flat-Top (Colby Johannson). He was one a guy that got killed. A pilot that got killed. Him and Paul Campbell are best friends in real life, and they're both very good friends of mine, and they're like this... Well, anyway. So they came up to my wedding. I got married at a lake... Paul will going to be so mad at me (laughing) ...So I got married at a lake and it was 40 degrees (Celsius) out, so it was really hot and a bunch of people went skinny dipping. It was started by Cobie Smulders, the star of How I Met Your Mother. She initiated the whole thing. She called the old school: "Let's go streaking!" and went into the lake and we all went skinny dipping. Fine! It was fine. So afterwards, it was pitch dark at the lake, no one could see you, we get back on the beach and everybody is starting to get their clothes on. Paul and Colby decided not to bother! So they were still naked and they had filled up the garbage bin from their room with beer and ice and they figured it was way more important to take care of the beer than it was to put their clothes on. So they pick up the beer and they're like: "Lets go inside!" They start walking and I was walking behind them with another friend. We went in a side door but the hotel was a boutique hotel in the middle of nowhere and they'd locked up all the side doors and you had to go in at the front. I was like: "Oh shoot! We'll have to go through the lobby you guys." so I figured that they would then turn around and get their clothes. No, no, no, they just keep walking on and on. (laughing) Paul knocks on the front door of the hotel, the security guard comes and they're both standing there stark naked. They walk in and there's three women standing around the front desk and they're like: "Evenin' guys" and the women are like: "Yeah, whatever." They thought they were hilarious, Paul and Colby are giggling to themselves, and they start running through the hallway towards their room and they trip and fell and went skidding naked. (laughing)
Ouch!
Head first, along the carpet, their beer goes flying everywhere, ice goes flying everywhere. My husband walks out of one of the rooms that he was in, and he sees them both like splattered on the ground, butt naked, and then Paul's like: "Huh! What do we do? What do we do? We better get the beer!" and then Kevin, my husband, told me that the boys started reaching over to get it, and all he could see were big, fricking, hairy buts! That was really asking too much, he had to get out of there. (laughing) Yeah, that's Paul Campbell for you!
Okay!
Hilarious.
He'll sure love [you sharing] that, yeah.
I love the both of them. They're wicked guys. So funny. I miss Paul a lot. So sad he's not on the show.
The Helo and Racetrack "backstory"
Were you given a backstory of Racetrack?
No, nothing. I wasn't even given a backstory about Battlestar Galactica. (laughing) I went in knowing absolutely nothing. I found out my name was Margaret Edmondson at the same time that you guys found out. I didn't know her name was Margaret Edmondson, you know, I knew nothing. So I just made up my own.
Did you create your own story?
Well, I did yeah. I created my own story and then this fan wrote me some fanmail and she wrote this story about me and Helo, Racetrack and Helo. I thought her backstory was better than mine, so I used hers! (laughing) I think I asked her. Yeah, I wrote to her and asked her if it was okay and she said "Yes". I've been using that one ever since, but the writers didn't really... Because in her version there was a little something-something going on between Racetrack and Helo, and the fans kind of picked up on that. Even though it was unintentional, it's was interesting to see that the fans thought that. We decided to run with it and Helo... Uhm... Tahmoh and I worked it into our storyline. Unfortunately, I don't think any of it really has been shown. So much of our stuff gets edited. They overshoot so, so much, and they give the editors tons of stuff and material to work with. So much gets cut. My favorite show part about working on this show is the few seconds before the scene actually starts and the few seconds after the scene ends, because this group of actors... They have the most incredible improvisation skills and they improv so much before and after, but unfortunately so much just gets lost in editing. That's when you really have the opportunity to develop more character stuff and that's when Tahmoh and I try to do it. I don't think it really came across, so.
Also, a Tahmoh itw but it's quite short compared to Leah "can't stop talking" Cairns
the boxing scene with Helo and Lee in Unfinished Business took 8 hours to shoot!
I just finished some mid-season stuff that I'm really prevalent in. YAYYYYYY
