Exclusive Interview with Jamie Bamber from 'Battlestar Galactica'

TheEditor · 05-12-2008, 10:27 AM

Lee Adama and Jamie Bamber are two entirely different people. When the Battlestar Galactica star arrived at BuddyTV's booth at the Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle yesterday, I didn't recognize him. I was expecting Jamie Bamber, and the man who arrived was a not-so-tall funky British hipster. This is probably the greatest compliment an actor can get, that he does such a great job at playing a role that people don't recognize the real him.

But it was him, and the 5'9'' Bamber sat down to talk to BuddyTV about the final season of Battelstar Galactica and beyond. Bamber spoke about what fans can expect in the final four episodes before the big mid-season cliffhanger, his post-BSG plans, and some of his favorite scenes and episodes from the series.

I love Jamie Bamber, I fell inlove with him in the epic ''Horatio Hornblower'', I was so pissed when he died at the end. Then I saw him do an episode in I think the British ''Mystery Theater'', with the actress fom ''The Avengers''. So I was sooooooo happy when I heard he was playing Apollo.....which was played by Richard Hatch in the 80's ...or was it in the 70's?

I love watching Jamie on BSG. His character has changed so much over the course of this show. I don't mind that he wants to be more in the political job then the sock pit but I miss his interaction with Starbuck. Now I hope there is a reason why his character has to be there.

I'll never get used to him having a British accent. Too weird!

I didn't care for this poll about Apollo's best scene, the tylium mine won for me of those choices. But the best scene from 'Crossroads' wasn't when he was interrogating Roslin, it was when he testified. His whole speech about forgiveness was outstanding. That whole episode was amazing, working a Hendrix tune into an alien fleet. Too much.
