Katee has been nominated once again in Spike TV's 2009 Scream Awards for Best Science Fiction Actress for her role as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace from Battlestar Galactica. She is now organizing a team to raise money to fight AIDS.
From her blog:
"I wanted to let you all know that I am on a team for the AIDS Walk on October 18th....we are....wait for it....wait for it......"The Frak Ups"!!!
It is a 10K walk to benefit the continued fight against AIDS. I'm looking for sponsors.
According to her biography, Katee's career hit stride when she was cast as the main cast member of the CBS series, The Education of Max Bickford, playing Nell, the daughter of the title character -- portrayed by award winning actor, Richard Dreyfuss.
After 'The Education of Max Bickford' Katee made guest appearances on various TV shows including the hit series ER as well as appearing in the horror movie franchise, Halloween: Resurrection.
Her career exploded when she took the lead role of Starbuck in the re-imagined sci-fi series, Battlestar Galactica. Derived from the original 1978 series of the same name, Katee was quickly embraced by fans of both series. The show was a huge hit with critics, receiving praise from Time Magazine as "the best show on television".
The character of Starbuck became a role-model overnight with fans praising Sackhoff for her portrayal of such a strong, sexy and independent character.
Sackhoff is hoping her fans will rally and sponsor her in this effort, as they take part in AIDS WALK L.A. on October 18
Sackhoff adds, "It’s so frakkin’ simple, any nugget could do it…"
