BSG's Tricia Helfer to play 'Dare' in Halo 3: ODST

by David Hinkle { May 29th 2009 at 2:45PM }

Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer needs no introduction. Her work as one of the more eye-catching Cylons and time spent as Kane's right-hand gal in Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars means she's got some clout with us gaming folk. And now, she's going to bolster her gaming resume with a pretty big project: Halo 3: ODST.

Helfer couldn't divulge anything other than who she would be playing in the game -- a character by the name of Dare -- during the GTTV reveal on Spike last night. And, that's about it. We're serious. This post is over.

I lol'd +1

Killjebus...PSN Killjebus @ May 29th 2009 2:57PM

Yes she is smokin hot.

What I find amazing is....she is an incredible actress with immense talent.

dantebk @ May 29th 2009 3:04PM

@Killjebus

Agreed! Even amazingier is that she had no major acting experience before BSG and then emerged as one of the top talents on the show.

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ May 29th 2009 3:09PM

She was great on Burn Notice.

Killjebus...PSN Killjebus @ May 29th 2009 3:10PM

The first time I saw her...I thought oh no here comes Jerri Ryan (Barbie Borg) but by the end of the first show, I was in awe. I hope that she gets more roles that will allow her talent to shine AND show her titties and ass.

Mike @ May 29th 2009 3:46PM

Fuck Gaius Baltar for being a little rat bastard and having a fine ass women like this in his head.

The Dark Wayne @ May 29th 2009 2:50PM

speaking of ODST, i think we, the joystiq biomass, should try to get Gravity don't let me go into the game, somehow, theme song, soundtrack or just end credits.

BlackDove @ May 29th 2009 2:52PM

Giant "Who cares?".

Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 2:54PM

You shut your mouth when you speak.

The Dark Wayne @ May 29th 2009 2:54PM

F-F-F-F-FAIL

ArchiGamer @ May 29th 2009 3:03PM

FAILLLLLLLLL!

Mazrael @ May 29th 2009 3:00PM

I stare at her for too long every time I see her.. part of me wonders if she's wore that dress for the entire run of the show :). . .

Storm Eagle @ May 29th 2009 3:02PM

Though I've never had the pleasure of seeing the show.....I hope not ;)

Hopper @ May 29th 2009 3:07PM

No dude, only Internal Six wore that dress.

joeymoto- OMFGWTFBBQ?!?!?!?! @ May 29th 2009 3:01PM

This is frackin' great news!!!

Avada Kadavra 9 @ May 29th 2009 4:18PM

Better news than the latest headline on late night news of the up coming - OMFGWTFBBQx2.

SidearmS @ May 29th 2009 3:06PM

1) So, you think she is "DARE" the AI for the armored person (like Cortana for Master Chief) that we have been seeing since last year?

OR

2) "DARE" the wise cracking strong willed female soldier with a heart of gold?

OR

3)"DARE" the jive talking enemy priestess who wants to destroy Earth so she can have the only remaining Gucci handbag in the entire Halo universe?

PLEASE LET IT BE THREE. PLEASE LET IT BE THREE.

GFWL - No really, Halo needs more jive talking enemy priestesses in the game.

The Dark Wayne @ May 29th 2009 3:07PM

do you really want to see a female elite/brute/prophet/grunt?

Ryan @ May 29th 2009 3:08PM

Halo needs more strong female characters, period. It's a bloody sausage fest.

The Dark Wayne @ May 29th 2009 3:12PM

oh yeah i agree, this game needs to have a strong willed, take no crap do what she wants main character. Maybe she could actually be an AI, with purply blue holograms, and maybe her name could start with a C or something. That's what the Halo series needs!

yo Naturale @ May 29th 2009 3:46PM

Oh Stewardess... I speak Jive.

He said he's in great pain, and he wants to know if you can help him.

Pimliconite @ May 29th 2009 3:48PM

Golly!

coffins outside the door @ May 29th 2009 3:13PM

I thought she was an old hag, but she's only a couple years older than me. *shudder*

The Dark Wayne @ May 29th 2009 3:15PM

old hag? WTF

Terry @ May 29th 2009 3:26PM

Better than anything you'll ever touch in your lifetime LOSER!!!

coffins outside the door @ May 29th 2009 5:01PM

Dear Terry,

Just because she pressed those fake-ass tits up against you in Orlando, doesn't mean she'll suck your dick off when you defend her honor on the internet. But I guess everyone needs a white knight in their life. Have a great weekend.

Petebot330 @ May 29th 2009 3:17PM

Sorry, My heart belongs to Boomer. I mean Sharon. I mean Athena.

CyberKnight @ May 29th 2009 3:19PM

Heh, thanks to the news earlier this week, my first thought was, "Why is Tricia Helfer doing a cover version of Stan Bush's song?"

Then I saw the picture, and my next thought was, "hummina hummina hummina..."

Blaggers @ May 29th 2009 3:20PM

I'd OD her ST.

Avada Kadavra 9 @ May 29th 2009 4:12PM

You would OD on her ST - D's?

nasty

Alzheimers @ May 29th 2009 3:21PM

Sold.

Terry @ May 29th 2009 3:25PM

I'm definately buying now. I met her in Orlando a couple months ago, and she is so awesome. A great actress and person, in general...Love you Tricia!!!
