The actress has also played a role this season on CW’s The Flash as the villainous metahuman Amunet Black.
Sackhoff brought the same cigar-chomping swagger to the role of the hotshot pilot and became a fan-favorite despite the character’s murky role in later seasons.
The 2004 sci-fi series was a reboot of the 1978 television show where the character of Starbuck was male, played by Dirk Benedict.
Sackhoff is best known for portraying the tough talking, fearless pilot Lieutenant (later Captain) Kara “Starbuck” Thrace on Battlestar Galactica.
