Personal life
Sackhoff was born in Portland, Oregon and grew up in St. Helens, Oregon. Her mother Mary is an ESL program coordinator and her father Dennis is a land developer.1 She graduated from Sunset High School in Beaverton in 1998. She participated in swimming and ballet until her right knee was injured, which led her to begin practicing yoga, which she continues today.2 Sackhoff has three tattoos: One, on the back of her neck, is a Chinese symbol ('choice'). Another, a cross, is covered with bandages whenever her shoulder is uncovered during shooting because there is no Christianity in the Battlestar Galactica universe. The third is on her right forearm and reads "bona fiscalia," meaning "public property" in legal Latin. This tattoo is visible in numerous episodes.3 Other elements from Sackhoff's life have been incorporated into the show: a ring she wears on her thumb has been described as Starbuck's engagement ring from Zak Adama, and the actress's decision to quit smoking between seasons two and three was mirrored by her character.
Career
First appearing in a series of commercials, TV movies and shows, Sackhoff got her first recurring role as 'Annie' in MTV's Undressed, next gaining a supporting role as Nell Bickford in The Education of Max Bickford. Katee made her motion picture debut in My First Mister, next appearing in film as Jenna "Jen" Danzig in Halloween: Resurrection.
Sackoff appeared in her most notable role as Kara "Starbuck" Thrace in the mini-series and followup TV series of Battlestar Galactica, for which the actress won a Saturn Award in 2005 for Best Actress on Television. The actress's persona led to the writers to develop the character of Starbuck as a more volatile and complex character. What executive produce Ron Moore described as magnetism, David Eick, producer, expanded stating, "We saw this whole other side that was all because of Katee—vulnerability, insecurity, desperation. We started freeing ourselves up to explore the weakness of the character, because we knew Katee could express those things without compromising the character's strength." 4
Sackhoff was next cast as the evil cyborg Sarah Corvus in the short-lived NBC series, Bionic Woman. David Eick executive producer for the show, stated, "She's a very special find. Those actors who can combine the qualities of strength and vulnerability-they usually call those people movie stars."4
Sackhoff plays the female lead in the action/scifi movie The Last Sentinel and the supernatural thriller White Noise 2: The Light.
Sackhoff will join the sixth season of the hit FX series Nip/Tuck, playing a new doctor, Dr. Theodora Lowe, who becomes a threat to Sean and his work. Sackhoff is scheduled for 4 episodes.5 As of September 12, 2008, it was announced that Sackhoff does not have the role of Dr. Theodora Lowe, and the role is going to Rose McGowan.6
The actress appears as the main character in the Lifetime Original Movie How I Married My High School Crush78, as well as guest appearances in Cold Case, ER, and Robot Chicken.
Sackhoff provided the voice of a female marine in the video game Halo 3 and is also featured in the viral marketing campaign for Resistance 2.
