Aside from her onscreen and modeling work, Tricia is also an avid animal rights supporter and environmentalist. Please visit some of the below websites for more information on Tricia's supported causes and charities.
Tricia Helfer Fan (tricia-helfer.org) is an unofficial, non-profit fan-driven website dedicated to actress Tricia Helfer.

As promised, we’ve updated the media archive with new clips today. Check out 11 new site-exclusivevideo clips of Tricia Helfer reprising the role of humanoid Cylon Number Six in Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, the Edward James Olmos-directed second BSG TV movie that was released on Region 1/North American DVD and Blu-Ray last October and premiered on TV January 10 2010 (via Syfy, of course). Among other Six copies, Shelly Godfrey and a new “Tough Six” make prominent appearances in The Plan.
Personally, although I’m never one to say no to new Battlestar Galactica, The Plan just didn’t live up to my expectations. To me, the mystery that revolved certain characters, events and phenomena was such a pivotal part of the entire series that I thought the entire approach to the BSG universe in The Plan, to explain all the previously unexplained, wasn’t really what I would’ve liked to see. Although Tricia as Six was an enormous pleasure to watch as always, her contribution to The Plan as a whole isn’t considerable (though she does have a truly great scene as Six copy Gina, with Grace Park’s Boomer).
All clips are in .MOV format, which is playable in e.g. VLC and QuickTime.

Surprise! Yesterday, January 16 Tricia Helfer made her first appearance of the year by showing up to support best friend and Battlestar Galactica co-star Katee Sackhoff as she hosted the ‘24′ New Season Celebration in Las Vegas, NV. Tricia and Katee both looked nothing short of gorgeous at the event in their sparkly, sequined cocktail dresses. The gallery has been updated with our first 19 30 medium-res photos of Tricia (and Katee) at the event. As always, we’ll be adding more photos as we find them. Enjoy!
We’re back! And we come bringing some new goodies as well. Today (and throughout this Fall), we’ve updated the gallery with 250+ new medium- and hi-res photos of Tricia Helfer at various public events 2005-2009 + replaced some 50-60 small images with better quality ones. Since this is quite a mix of new and updated photos/albums, we’ve listed all updated albums below using the following labeling:
(N) – new additions; (R) – better quality replacements; (NA) – new album
If I could make a suggestion or two three, I’d particularly advise you to check out the fantastic hi-res additions we made to our 2009 Monte Carlo Television Festival Day 5-album, which now features some absolutely adorable(!) photos of Tricia and hubby Jonathan Marshall at the event. Also, the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Mid-Season Finale Celebration-album from June 2008, featuring some really awesome footage of Tricia and BSG co-stars Katee Sackhoff and Mary McDonnell, has been updated with a ton of better quality replacements to those earlier minimal pics — highly recommend you have a look. Finally, there’s this, this and many other great new photos of the BSG team at last year’s Sci Fi Channel Upfront Party.
But really, those are just the highlights. There are a lot more gems among the rest of the new photos as well. Anyway, without further ado, enjoy!
More news on Mass Effect 2! Two days ago, we reported of Tricia Helfer’s involvement in the aforementioned upcoming EA Games video game as EDI, the voice of the new Normandy. Yesterday, GiantBomb.com revealed a really great trailer for the game, in which all the vocal talent, Tricia included, is introduced and briefly previewed. Check it out below or at GiantBomb.com!
Mass Effect 2 also features Martin Sheen, Seth Green, Carrie-Ann Moss as well as Tricia’s respective Chuck and Battlestar Galactica co-stars Yvonne Strahovski and Michael “Tigh” Hogan. The video game is currently slated for January 26 2010 North American and January 29 2010 European releases to the Xbox 360 and PC.
As most of you will surely remember, Tricia Helfer and fellow Battlestar Galactica Cylon Grace Park were featured on the cover and inside the November 2009 issue of Maxim (US). The feature coincided with the DVD release and TV premiere of Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, which was being promoted at the time.
Today, the gallery has been updated with nine site-exclusivescans of the issue’s digital special. While most of the pictures we’ve seen here before, the quality of these is superior to any earlier previews, and the magazine even snuck in two Tricia photos we hadn’t seen before. Be sure to check them all out!
“There’s been a vote. There’s going to be a truce. We just need to convey it to the humans. All of them.”
- Number Six
More updates on The Plan! Today, the gallery has been updated with 463 HD screen captures of Tricia Helfer as the various incarnations of Cylon Number Six in Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, the Edward James Olmos-directed TV film about the early days of the Colonies genocide, as told from the Cylon perspective. The Plan, as many of you will know, was released on DVD in late October this year.
Without giving away any major spoilers we can tell you that out of Tricia’s many roles as Six, Shelly Godfrey, a new, darker haired “Tough Six”, some nondescript blonde Sixes and another non-blonde, unnamed Six (who according to Battlestar Wiki is in fact Gina Inviere) all make an appearance. Caprica Six also briefly appears, although largely in old footage from the 2003 miniseries. Neither Dr. Gaius Baltar’s Virtual/Head Six nor Natalie are featured.
We will not be writing up a recap for The Plan as, unlike with Razor and the regular episodes, the plot is simply a bit too intricate to be put down in just a few words. We do hope you enjoy the new caps anyway (though please be advised they may contain significant spoilers), and hopefully, we’ll have some video clips for you soon as well. Do check back with us for those!
We have an update on Battlestar Galactica! Today, the gallery has been updated with 11 hi-res promotional stills + 1 medium-res promoshoot photo of Tricia Helfer as Cylon Number Six in The Plan. Hopefully, we’ll soon be able to provide you with some screen caps and video clips as well. Check them out!
Regarding yesterday’s Kitten Rescue event, as of yet we haven’t been able to find any media coverage of Tricia (or, in fact, anyone else) at the gala. Not to worry, however, as if I recall correctly first coverage from last year’s event also came in a little late. Of course, we’ll continue to keep our eyes for photos.
For the past month, Katee “Starbuck” Sackhoff’s official site as well as Tricia Helfer’s official site have premiered audio clips of Sackhoff and Tricia’s Battlestar Galactica fan Q&A series, as presented by their respective official sites.

Last Friday, the seventh and final part in the series was premiered online, and is available for listening below.

Don’t forget to listen to Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 as well in case you missed them!
“I just hosted a kitten adoption, and a few people actually called me Six. Two were just adopted the other day. I don’t know if that’s really for your readers, but that would be really cool if it were!”
