Hanging with Candice McClure from Battlestar Galactica

(Note: in case you were wondering why this is linked up to the Four Americas piece, it's because Candice was kind enough to do the voice overs for all three e-learning presentations.)

I had a wonderful day yesterday, hanging with the beautiful, talented, and very intelligent Candice "Dee" McClure, an actress from one of my all-time favorite television shows: Battlestar Galactica.  We hung out at Ken's loft for over four hours, as she shared her own remarkable story of coming into her own as an actress, as well as her excitement around the concept of an Integral Actor's Studio. 

It was awesome, and i am very happy to have made such a lovely new friend.

Contents under pressure: by the end of the meeting, i had to publicly declare how proud of myself i was, in showing tremendous restraint in preventing any embarrassing geek outbursts.  Though i suppose this declaration was a geek outburst in its own right. 

If you aren't already familiar with Battlestar Galactica (the remade series, not the clunky 70's series) i cannot recommend it enough.  It is, in my view, one of the most incredible television shows ever made.

(Oh, and Candice was kind enough to perform the voice overs for our recent collection of politics programs, which is very cool.)

Here's a couple pics from yesterday.

"By your command."

Hey now, Corey! What's with bashing "the clunky 70's series?" My inner child might resent this if it's love for this clunk were not so strong as to outmatch all criticism of any kind. Our bikes used to be our colonial vipers, shooting up and down the street, through space. Colonial vipers were a staple drawing for me as a kid. I even like the second series where all the original actors and characters were gone, they reached earth and everyone had super powers. Couldn't wait to get home from church on Sunday night and watch it. Never understood why it stopped coming on. Most, I loved those flying motorcycles ("turbine" if I remember correctly.) The bikes loved those ever more! God, to fly off on those things! And we most certainly and enthusiastically went to see the movie that was released "in sense-around." Once my aunt came to visit for the weekend with her 70s Van and my brother and I spent all night in it because it was so cooly similar to the pod-type-ship-thing they flew around in . . . (which, you know, looked like a van). What glorious adventures! Then of course, who could resist talking into the fan during the summer so as to make your voice sound like a cylon? "By your command." Perhaps most memorable of all, however, was the episode where Starbuck was stranded on a deserted planet with a cylon, and the two were forced to become friends. And then, in the end, the rest of the cylons came and killed "Cy!" We ran into the streets, meeting each other after the show was over: "Did you see that!?!?!?" Tore at our souls for years . . .

And of course, that glorious theme music. . .

Don't dis the 70s, man!!!
