Katee Sackhoff's story about not sleeping for 3 days during BSG filming
In order to take the lead role as time traveling teenager Marty McFly in Back to the Future, Michael J. Fox famously agreed to a nightmarish schedule where he'd film episodes of Family Ties during the day and the seminal Zemeckis film at night.
"The only way that they would let me do it is if I was shooting Battlestar during the day and White Noise 2 at night," she recalled to co-host and executive producer Kristian Harloff on the latest episode of her new podcast — Blah Blah Blah.

Several years ago, I saw her come up in an ad on netflix for a new scifi show "Another Life" -- I didn't know anything about it, but loved her in BSG, so I thought what the hell and watched it.
OH. MY. GOD.
I don't think I can ever watch anything she does ever again. I still to this day think it's BY FAR the worst tv show I've ever seen. I don't even know how you can make something SO terrible, they must have tried on purpose.
How she read that script and accepted the job is just unbelievable.
Didn't know that story. It was in the new caprica time? I just thought she was acting very well, especially that season.
The article says when Leoben brainwashed her…IIRC that was during the New Caprica arc.
