Summary After playing Number Six in Battlestar Galactica, Tricia Helfer took on quite a few more acting roles.

One of her most notable post-Battlestar roles was playing Charlotte in Lucifer.

Tricia Helfer continued her acting career long after the end of her iconic role in Battlestar Galactica. Before joining the 2005 reboot of the legendary 1978 science fiction series, she began her career as a fashion model in the early 1990s, winning the Ford Models' Supermodel of the World contest in 1992. She retired from the industry in 2002, moving on to a career in acting with early roles that included episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and Jeremiah, as well as the Judd Nelson crime thriller White Rush.

Helfer was part of the Battlestar Galactica cast in the 2005 series and continued playing one of the show's main characters for all four seasons through its finale. On the show, she played Number Six, a group of identical Cylons designed to look like an icy blonde human woman. Overall, she starred in 67 of the show's 74 episodes as well as appearing in the 2003 miniseries that preceded the show and the TV movies Razor and The Plan. She has not reprised the role since 2009, though she has appeared in a number of other titles since then.
