Canadian actress and former model Tricia Helfer is one of Hollywood's rising acting talents, best known for her portrayal of humanoid Cylon Number Six on Syfy's critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica. More recently, Helfer has starred in e.g. Andrew Paquin’s Open House and can currently be seen as Alex Clark on NBC's The Firm. Helfer is also an active benefactor of animal and environmental causes.
Tricia and best friend Katee Sackhoff's charity initiative, The Acting Outlaws.
First off, we have a couple of gorgeous new pictures of Tricia on the set of The Black Keys‘ music video “Howlin’ For You” with director Chris Marrs Piliero and co-stars Diora Baird and Shaun White. Voting for Best Rock Video at the MTV Video Music Awards, for which the video is nominated, has now closed and the winners will be announced at the VMAs next week’s Sunday. Hope you got your vote in on time!
Meanwhile, Tricia’s friend and hairstylist Brian Magallones tweeted a terrific picture of him and Tricia on the set of a commercial for the “Space Marine” video game, presumably Warhammer 40000: Space Marine, which is coming out in the U.S. and Europe in early September. We don’t know that Tricia is in any way involved in the video game itself, but this does mean she’ll likely appear in a commercial/TV spot for the game soon.
Last but not least, Tricia has lent her voice to the character of Olivia Johansen in “Cassie”, a script developed by Randy Girdner on Amazon Studios. Check out the project page for the script for a 23-minute audio clip of Tricia reading her lines in studio by herself (it’s great!).

• Foo Fighters, “Walk”
• Foster the People, “Pumped Up Kicks”
• Mumford & Sons, “The Cave”
• The Black Keys, “Howlin’ For You”
To refresh your memories, check out the smoking hot video below, in which Tricia Helfer appears opposite Diora Baird, Sean Patrick Flanery, Corbin Bensen, Todd Bridges, Christian Serratos and The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach. The video was released in February 2011.
Also appearing in the video are Sean Patrick Flanery, Corbin Bensen, Todd Bridges, Christian Serratos and of course, The Black Keys’ Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach as “Las Teclas de Negro”. Tricia’s character in the video, if you missed it, is Alexa Wolff. For more information on the video, check out the “Howlin’ for You” IMDb page.
To begin with, Tricia will be on hand at this year’s Spike Video Game Awards, where she is up for Best Performance by a Human Female for voicing Sarah Kerrigan in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. The VGAs will be broadcast live on Spike this Saturday, December 11 beginning 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT. Catch it if you can!
