  • Tahmoh Penikett Talks about Bringing Down the Dollhouse | Today's News: Our Take | 2/12/2009

    After months of press and promotion — and a two-week production shutdown — Joss Whedon's new series Dollhouse will premiere on Feb. 13. TVGuide.com recently spoke with series co-star Tahmoh Penikett, who plays FBI agent Paul Ballard, a man with a mission to bring down the Dollhouse permanently. We asked Penikett what he thinks is really behind Paul's obsession with the Dollhouse, what it's like working with Whedon and when his character will actually meet the elusive doll, Echo (Eliza Dushku).

    Dollhouse airs Fridays at 9 pm/ET on Fox.

    TVGuide.com: How excited are you that the premiere of Dollhouse is almost here?
    Tahmoh Penikett: I'm really excited. I'll tell you, I'm still surprised — and a lot of us are — that we're already there. It's amazing how fast [filming] the first season went by. There are a lot of things that happened over the season. It was tumultuous at times with all the speculation, and the press, and the hype and everything. I don't know. I'm just really surprised that we're almost mid-February and that we're done. We finished 13 episodes. Read on for more with Tahmoh Penikett. read more 13 Comments

  • VIDEO: Tahmoh Penikett Talks Cylons and Dollhouse | Today's News: Our Take | 1/8/2009

    Tahmoh Penikett has spent over four years playing the loyal and brave Carl "Helo" Agathon on Sci Fi's hit Battlestar Galactica. The new season premieres Jan. 16 (10 pm/ET) and promises many surprises and twists along the way — including the revelation of the final Cylon in an early episode. Tahmoh is now working with none other than Buffy scribe Joss Whedon on his upcoming show, Dollhouse. (You must watch Dollhouse for his shirtless boxing scene alone!) Tahmoh stopped by to talk to Erin Fox about the emotional final episodes of Battlestar, as well his new character on Dollhouse — including why production was shut down. Be jealous BSG fans; Penikett even signed Erin's official Cylon toaster (seen in the background of the video... it makes real Cylon-imprinted toast)!

Also joining the Dollhouse ensemble are Fran Kranz (CBS' Welcome to the Captain), Aussie actress Dichen Lachman and relative newcomer Enver Gjokaj.Penikett's character, Paul Smith (originally named Paul Ballard), is described as an FBI agent who becomes obsessed with both the urban myth that is Dollhouse and its most recognizable inhabitant, Echo (Dushku).Kranz, meanwhile, has been cast as Dollhouse's nerdy programmer Topher Brink, the dude responsible for imprinting the dolls. Lachman, who starred in the Australian series Neighbours, will play Sierra, a Doll similar to Echo, only not as self-aware. And last but not least, Gjokaj will play Echo's buddy Victor, a handsome Doll who is childlike... read more
