Tahmoh Penikett on Feeling Destined to Play Helo and Why BSG Matters More Than Ever


Listen Later

Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday! As many of you know, I am currently shooting up in Vancouver with none other than my amazing BSG co-star Tahmoh Penikett. So of course that means now is the perfect time for him to join me on the podcast! In addition to his role as Karl “Helo” Agathon in Battlestar, Tahmoh has also appeared on Supernatural and as Paul Ballard on Dollhouse. It has been such a joy getting to reconnect with him on this new job— and you’ll see why in this interview. We talk about his childhood as the son of a politician in the Yukon, his relationship with his First Nations grandmother, his journey as an actor and why Helo was a part he felt destined to play. Tahmoh is such a thoughtful, charismatic guy and our conversation goes deep, fast! We have a really important conversation about the state of the world and why Battlestar still matters after two decades. We also talk openly about navigating doubt as an actor and what it takes to re-build your confidence after difficult on-set experiences. There’s lots of laughter and even some tears, but that’s talking with Tahmoh! Please remember to stick around for the Hindsight this week, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview and celebrate Jeph’s one-year anniversary as Hindsight co-host!
