New York Post recently interviewed Katee, here are some excerpts:PopWrap: So I have to tell you, the first thing I noticed is that you are finally playing someone who gets to smile, even if it is short-lived!
Katee Sackhoff: [laughs] I know! Everyone keeps telling me that about Dana! I mean, I smiled as myself on "Big Bang Theory" but you're right, I tend to play characters that are very sad. I do my crying very well.
PW: Indeed and you get a little bit of that here even though "24" isn't usually invested in turning their new characters into fully formed people.
Katee: Right, with Dana we really get a sense of who she is and what's going on in her life because it's brought into CTU because of Cole [her character's co-worker/fiancee]. It's nice. I think you become invested in her and her life -- there's a sense of compassion you develop for her because of what she's going through.
PW: Definitely. When will we find out why her ex is blackmailing her?
Katee: Well, I can't give away too much, but we all did things when we were younger that we'd like to take back.
PW: Although the final destination of any "24" season can change, how much of Dana's storyline did you know coming in?
Katee: I knew about half of it. I didn't know where she would end, but I knew a lot going up to that point. I wanted to do the show very badly, so I think they kinda told me more than what they've told other people in the past.
PW: What episode are you guys currently on?
Katee: Episode 19. Oh, s***! I keep saying things like that and reporters go, "Oh, so you're alive for that long?" This show is harder to keep secrets about than "Battlestar Galactica!"
