Clik Here for Turkish

[MT] I was thrilled to learn that we have fans of our show in Turkey. It's good to know that this program is reaching the far corners of the world and people of many different nations can enjoy it and discuss it. I believe it has a global appeal.
I must admit, I don't know too much about Turkey. I know that it has a population of over 70 million people and the capital is Istanbul. I also know that the country is situated on two different continents but mostly lies in Asia, with Istanbul on the European continent. And the national religion is Muslim. Other than that, I'd have to do some research.

[GTR] I’m not sure that if i’m right But i think that you are one of the cast member who has the closest relationship with fans. Certainly other cast members have contact with fans in comic-con or other conventions but its already in their contract.You are making direct relations. Is ıt joyful for you to have close relationship with fans?

[MT] I dont' know if it is correct to say that I am the one with the "closest" relationships to the fans. I think many in the cast do a very good job of keeping the fans informed and interacting with them as much as possible. I personally think it is extremely important to reach out to our fans and have a rapport with them. For, without our fans, we have no show. Or at least nobody to enjoy it. I am grateful for the support so many of you have shown for Battlestar Galactica. So I think it is good to maintain communication with the fans but, of course, it must remain professional and not become too "close" or personal. There is a certain amount of privacy that we all expect to retain, you know?

[GTR] This one is gonna be a stereotype question for you but i wonder what are the differences and similarities between Samuel T Anders and Michael Trucco

[MT] The similarities between me and Sam Anders?......I believe we are both very loyal, stubborn, don't like to be told what to do, like to take the lead, instinctual, and maybe a bit daring. The differences?........I've never killed anyone.
At least as far as I know.......(you know I'm kidding, of course).

[GTR] Were you a fan of the old series?

[MT] I was very young when the original series came out. I never really got into it.

[GTR] You worked in other shows like One Tree Hill or CSI. I thınk these shows's target audience are different than BSG. Is it a different experience for you to work in a Sci-fi production?

[MT] I thought there would be a dramatic difference in working in the SciFi genre, but once I got into the production I realized this is just good story-telling no matter what the genre. I actually like the atmosphere on the set of BSG better than any other show I've worked on before. It feels more like a film than most television productions I've been a part of. It's very relaxed and extremely creative when we are on the set. Everybody has an input and we don't feel the unnecessary pressures that many 'network' television series often have to endure.

[GTR] Finally do you want to visit Turkey someday? and do you have any message for Turkish fans?
Thanks a lot and good hunting in your career.

[MT] I don't actually have plans to visit Turkey any time soon. Right now, most of my travel is between Los Angeles and Vancouver. But, yes, I would like to see your country one day. And to all our fans in Turkey: Damn glad to have you aboard, and we welcome you and thank you all for watching!
So say we all
