Tahmoh Penikett has gained an international fan following for wildly different roles in an array of studio, network, and indie projects, including Battlestar Galactica (where he appeared as Karl “Helo” Agathon), Strange Empire, Dollhouse, Supernatural, Riftworld Chronicles, Bomb Girls, and The Sinners. The son of a politician and a residential school survivor, Tahmoh is passionate about Indigenous issues, which are a cornerstone of his social media use. He’s also renowned for his famous friendship/bromance with fellow actor Aleks Paunovic. In Part Two of our epic two-part conversation, Tahmoh reflects on his time on Battlestar Galactica (including when he actually knew that he was part of something special, how it changed him, and what it was like to say goodbye), how he measures success, and his friendship with Aleks Paunovic.
