BSGTR - Firstly,what do you know about Turkey?
LC
- I only know the little bits that I learned while studying
history in high school. I know that your city of Istanbul
was formerly known as Constantinople and was the seat of
power for the Byzantine/Ottoman Empire. I know Turkey is
predominantly a Muslim nation yet, due to its geographical
location, is considered a historical/cultural bridge between
the East and the West.

BSGTR - How did you feel when you heard you got
fan's here?
LC
- I still can't believe I have any fans at all. I'm such a
minor player in BSG that it really is overwhelming to see so
much support for my character. It's simply fantastic!
BSGTR - How did you involved on Battlestar
Galactica, did you join the auditions?
LC
- I didn't attend any auditions. I started out in the movie
industry just doing extra work part-time. My agent called me
up one morning and asked if I'd like to work on the BSG
pilot since they had a no-show that morning. I jumped right
out of bed and told my agent that I'd do it for free
(kidding, of course). I've been a big BSG fan since I was a
little kid and it was a unique opportunity to work on part
of that legacy. When BSG got picked up for the first season
I was forunate enough to get featured as a regular in the
second episode (where I play cards with Baltar and
Starbuck). It's been a great four seasons since then.
BSGTR - What is the toughest thing to do on bsg
stage?
LC
- Despite what most people may think it is really difficult
to act, and interact, with the cast when you're not really
allowed to say anything. It would be much easier to have
some dialogue that would encourage the creativity to unfold
rather than just having me nod or shake my head, but then
they would have to make me part of the cast and my pay grade
would go up considerably.

BSGTR - Will the fans have the possibility of
seeing your character in 4th season much more than the
previous
seasons? Will they find who your character really is or you
keep staying in the backround?
LC
- Now that the fourth season is nearly over most of you have
probably already noticed my character popping up
occasionally. Generally, as a rule of thumb, if you see
Starbuck somewhere then I'm not too far away.
I also make a brief cameo in the BSG movie "The Plan", which
should be aired after season four ends. I can't reveal too
much about BSG since it is still airing but you can see me
in an upcoming big budget film called "2012". I have a small
role as a Chinese army officer. And yes, I do have lines ;)
BSGTR - Even if its a Sci-fi production we know
that all the stuff going on is familiar with Naval
Air Crafts, So did you ever talk or observe real naval
aviators?
LC
- I come from a military family where my father's generation
was the first to not pursue a military career. Many of my
father's friends continued to serve in the military in
Taiwan. I was fortunate to gain some of that military
knowledge and discipline growing up in that environment.
When I was a teenager I did spend about three months in the
Canadian Air Cadets but quit when I got bored of marching
all the time :P

BSGTR - Do you want to visit Turkey someday? Any
messages for your fan's in Turkey?
LC
- I would love to visit Turkey one day. As a matter of fact
one of my favorite restaurants to go to is a local Turkish
restaurant called Anapolis Gate. I usually order a pide,
wrap and a Turkish coffee. If I ever go to Turkey I expect
you all to take me out to eat ;) |
