Episode Details

On this episode of Story & Craft, we sit down to chat with actor Katee Sackhoff from "Battlestar Galactica" and Prime Video's "Carrie" to discuss her career and personal stories.

Katee talks about growing up in Portland as a competitive swimmer, how she landed her first acting job, and what it was like to move to LA at 18. We get into her time on "Battlestar Galactica", why she's only now watching it, and how she went from voicing Bo-Katan in animation to "The Mandalorian".
