Dailygamecock.com news : On her first day on the set of the "Battlestar Galactica" miniseries, model Tricia Helfer, then new to acting, was thrown into an intense sex scene with co-star James Callis in front of a 50-man crew.After three full seasons of scenes in which her character, a very human looking robot named Number 6, continually seduces Callis' Dr. Gaius Baltar, however, Helfer has found a comfort zone.
