The A.V. Club has an excellent interview with James Callis (Gaius Baltar) HERE.
There’s some phrase, I think it’s in Chaucer, about how everything that’s written is didactic. As soon as you write something down, as long as it’s not a shopping list, it’s some idea about the world. It’s Michel de Montaigne writing his essays, it’s Plato writing The Republic, it’s Ron writing Battlestar. All of these things concern human beings, and somebody’s idea about them. Everything that we write is to teach ourselves in some way to behave better, to think more, or to think differently. And if the thing you’re doing doesn’t actually address any of those, then maybe you are writing a shopping list.
I really do believe James Callis is one of the most talented actors on TV right now. He’s just so lovely.
LOL at “Gaius Baltar Award for Moral Cowardice”!
He’s just so damn intelligent. I love this man.
God, James Callis FTW. What an intelligent and powerful thing to say. And so true! Love love love.
James is indeed talented and lovely, but Gaius makes me want to take a shower every time he’s onscreen. He’s the perfect slimeball.
Aw, James is so smart. Every paragraph of that interview just made me a little happier inside. <3
