Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Katee Sackhoff | From "Battlestar Galactica" to "Carrie" | Olympic Dreams to Mandalorian
Q: How did Mandalorian come your way?
Dave Filoni asked the creators of Robot Chicken about working with her, and their recommendation led to her voicing Bo-Katan in animation. Sackhoff later approached Filoni about the character appearing in The Mandalorian, after which Jon Favreau asked to meet about the live-action role.
Katee Sackhoff | From "Battlestar Galactica" to "Carrie" | Olympic Dreams to Mandalorian
Q: How did Battlestar come to you?
Her agency submitted her for Starbuck, and after reading the script she believed the role could change the way audiences saw her. She cut her hair, changed her audition presentation, and passed on other opportunities to pursue it.
Necar Zadegan | From “The Rookie” to CBS’s “CIA” | A Journey Without a Formula
Q: What did Taylor Sheridan tell you about your character's history with Jeremy Renner's character?
Sheridan explained that the characters had been childhood friends who knew each other from high school. The detailed backstory changed how Zadegan understood and played her character throughout the series.
Necar Zadegan | From “The Rookie” to CBS’s “CIA” | A Journey Without a Formula
Q: What was it like working with Robin Williams on The Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo?
Zadegan recalls Williams as a serious, disciplined actor who arrived early and worked closely with the script. She saw his improvisational, comic side emerge on a press day, when he gave reporters the lively performance they expected.
Missi Pyle | From "Dodgeball" to Prime Video’s "Sterling Point" | Life is Just Lifey
Q: If acting and theatrical pursuits were no longer available, what else could you do that you would find joy in?
Pyle says she would like to work in medicine, perhaps as an ER nurse or EMT, and is also interested in working in hospice care.
