I love that Battlestar has always mixed exciting story-telling with questions of complex morality. Of all the relevant moral issues that Battlestar has taken on in some manifestation or another is there any one issue that was most important to you to portray on the show?

I want to know how you think lee going to react to those certain people being the final four out of five cyclons. Or do you already how he going to react to this?

Hi Jamie,
I have always loved to watch as Lee has changed over the years. What aspect of Lee’s personality do you think has changed the most over the seasons? Do you ever miss that part?

At the end of Season 3 we saw Lee Adama making some drastic changes in his life. Has Lee decided its time to be the man he wants to be rather than what everyone else exoects him to be?

Thank you for your time and the lovely work your doing on BSG.

Hi, Jamie,
I was wondering, what is your idea of how Lee got his callsign? Also, I read that Lee’s official bio states that he’s happiest when cooking and in “Final Cut”, he was listed as being in the Colonial Reserves. What do you think he was doing when he wasn’t in the military?

Hope we’ll see you on stage (doing Shakespeare?) here in the States soon! Your work is exceptional!

With the number of challenging roles you’ve portrayed…what scene or scenes were the ones that made you the most uncomfortable, as an actor, to play.

Jamie,
I’ve been consistently impressed with your performances throughout the series, but I’ve always been struck in particular with your last scene in ‘Maelstrom’. Katee gets tons of praise for that episode, and rightly so, but I thought your performance in that last scene with her was extraordinary and it’s what gets me every time.

We’ve been told by a lot of the cast how uncomfortable and claustrophobic the flight suits are, let alone what it’s like inside the viper. So my question is, do you have to change your approach to a very emotional scene in a significant way when you’re stuck in one of those ships?

Thanks so much!

I was lucky enough to see you in Henry IV in Bristol — is there any chance you’ll ever do Henry V? There’s a Shakespeare Festival in nearby Stratford, Ontario, every year, and I keep hoping…

Marry me and I’ll sign a prenuptial agreement and babysit for you and Kerry. Joking.

My question is, after BSG ends, is there any other career goals in the entertainment industry you’d like to pursue, such as writing, directing, etc? And do you have any television or movie roles lined up that we should look for in the future?
Thank you for answering and your extraordinary work on BSG.

First of all, you are brilliant and an amazing actor!!!! I’ve read Lee is going to show a more ambitious part in this final season and I’ve read you like to strongly discuss your own character’s views with the producers of the show. Did you push the producers and writers to make Lee a little more interested and ambiguous? It really doesn’t matter to me as long as your character leaves his insecurities surrounding Kara Thrace and your relationship evolves so you could be finally happy together…

Given that you have expressed the desire to get into screen writing, if the pilot for the BSG prequel “Caprica” is well received and gets picked up for a season, would you like the opportunity to write one or more of the episodes?

Hi Jamie,
Huge fan of Battlestar. When you signed on for the miniseries/show, did you ever think it would garner such passionate praise and love from both critics and fans?

I have to say it is one of the few shows that keeps blowing me away, and I have successfully got a lot of my friends into it! Can’t wait for season 4!

Hi Jamie,

Two brief questions for you. I know of your interest in writing and directing. Is there any chance with the ‘Caprica’ spinoff that you may have the opportunity to work behind the scenes on that potential series? And are there any other projects you have lined up once ‘Galactica’ finishes production?

As always, thanks for your time,
Mary

Hi Jamie.

First of all congratulations on a fabulous third season. You did a wonderful job bringing life to Lee throughout the season, culminating in the finale with Lee’s testimony on the witness stand. It was one of the most pivitol moments in the entire series.

You have expressed interest in both writing and directing. (although I do hope you still have aspirations to stay in front of the camera too, you are an amazing actor) If your career was to follow your ideal path in the future, where would you see that going? And any chance we can get a quick synopsis of “Terra Finis”?

Best wishes to you and your lovely family.

Three questions to pick and choose from:

If you could play any pre-existing fictional character on stage or screen, who would it be?

BSG is a science fiction show, but it’s also a very political one. You seem like a politically aware guy — did the political nature of the show play any part in that, or have you always had an interest?

What would your dream job be once BSG wraps?

From where you started to the this season, how has your acting relationship changed and evolved with Katee and Eddie?

Jamie,
Would you consider joining Ron Moore for one of his podcasts this season? Since they all end up as the DVD commentary tracks, it would be great to hear your take on one or more Season 4 episodes that are close to your heart.

Kudos,
Jon R

Now this is a very serious question, asked of presidents and presidential candidates alike, such as Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, etc. The question is: boxers or briefs?

If you go the Obama route and refuse to answer this question, feel free to answer this one. If in some alternate universe you had the choice to play any other character on BSG, who would it be?

Hi, Jamie (and internet-moderator-type-people). I have lots of questions, so feel free to pick and choose between them!

When was the first time you remember being really surprised by what the script had in store for your character, and were you pleased or dismayed by the surprise?

Have you ever had a special fondness for a scene that had to be cut from the episode? If so, what happened? And do you ever get to have a say on what stays in or not?

Has Lee Adama ever made a choice that you personally found morally reprehensible (even if it made sense for the character)? Or just a choice where you’d have said, ‘No way, I’d *never* do that’?

Tell the truth: what has Lee secretly named his Viper?

Is there any one character you sort of always hoped would turn out to be a Cylon, if only because it meant the actor or actress could come back from ‘the dead’?

Tigh can’t stop hearing ‘All Along the Watchtower.’ Lately, I can’t stop hearing Flight of the Conchords singing ‘The Humans are Dead.’ (Battlestar is obliquely to blame for this). What song do you hear in the walls right now?

With no temporal frame of reference given on the show, we have no way of knowing when the colonists might arrive (if they arrive) on earth. Setting aside anything you might actually know about what happens on the show, do you have a pet-favorite historical time-period into which you’d enjoy seeing the characters intrude? Feel free to factor in the relative awesomenesses of various kinds of period dress; I know I do.

Is there any particular issue for your character, no matter how general or specific, that you hope the show resolves before the series ends? (Like a character with whom you’ve never interacted before or a backstory question that’s never been resolved?)

Will your wife ever get to be on the show again?

Thanks for answering our questions! I’m completely captivated by the show, with a special affinity for your character in particular. God bless you and your family!

Thank you Jamie, for your amazing work on BSG. Lee has been my favorite character throughout, and that’s no easy feat on a show with so many amazingly complex characters.

Katee has made comments about how she’d be happy to see Kara sacrifice herself for the human race - die a hero’s death. Is that something you would ever want for Lee, or would you ultimately just like to see him survive and reach Earth, living happily ever after (preferably having lots of babies with Kara)?

And now you have an end date for BSG, any thoughts as to what you’d like to do next? Will you be staying in the US or Canada, or be returning to this side of the pond?

Will Lee be having sex in S4? (with himself does not count)

Dear Jamie,

Ever think of coming back to London to tread the boards in the West End, in some meaty production that might even allow you to revert to your natural RP? Don’t you miss the peculiar delights of London out there in La-La Land?

And in an unrelated point (and given the choice, I would be more interested in you replying to the first question, if that were possible), have you ever regretted filming that towel scene?

Thank you for submitting to this inquisition - can’t be all fun and games promoting a show, and I sympathise. Not that it stops me joining into the fray…

Best, L.

Jamie, since you’re basically the next Hugh Grant, will you avoid prostitutes on Sunset Blvd. and choosing cheesy formulaic Hollywood romantic comedies for film projects so you don’t throw your career off-track the way he did?

Also, take parts where you can use your natural English accent, you seem a little wimpy with the American accent but sexy with the British.
