Tahmoh Penikett

Canadian actor Tahmoh Penikett was born in 1975. He has achieved worldwide fame after appearing in television series such as Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse. Since these two are science fiction cult hits, any appearance on screen gets noticed. Penikett has shown up at conventions where fans are dedicated to watching television each week just for the sake of seeing certain characters become part of a scene. This is such an exciting time for attendees that they cannot wait to find some free time and blog about their experience.

Battlestar Galactica had the good fortune to be shown in two different decades. When Penikett was cast as Helo, it was only intended to be a one time deal. However, fans enjoyed his work so much that he was written into the scripts as a season regular.

As a creation of Joss Whedon, Dollhouse drew instant audience participation. Penikett plays Paul Ballard, an FBI agent who wants nothing more than to figure out the secrets a large originization so desperately wants to hide. Bloggers enjoy discussing this show on a continuous basis.

• Review: Dollhouse - Belonging

  
  TV Squad — Authority: 720
  (S02E04) Its somewhat ironic that upon news that Dollhouse is going on something of a hiatus and will likely not be back next year that it delivers one of the best episodes of its run. Co-written by Joss brother Jed (and it wouldnt surprise me if he wrote the music to the episode as well) and Maurissa Tancharoen ...

  the TV addict — Authority: 617
  If Paul Ballard spent all of last season attempting to bring down the Dollhouse, how does he justify working for them this season? Obviously he still wants to bring down the Dollhouse, but when we left him at the end of last season, he made an agreement to work for them. Why? Not only did he ensure ...

  The Flickcast — Authority: 560
  Fan favorite, Joss Whedon’s TV show Dollhouse, is kind of like going back for a third date with someone you know can’t get it up. This week’s episode, “Belle Chose”, has the plot of a porno.

  TV Squad — Authority: 720
  (S02E03) It looks like the production schedule had this one slated to be the second episode of the season, rather than the third. It was a little odd how much time was spent in showing Ballard getting used to the complete process in turning a Doll into an Active. I kept thinking, "He was fine with last weeks mommy ...

  TV Squad — Authority: 720
  (S02E02) So, um, what happened? Dollhouse came back last week and posted its lowest ratings to date. Its a shame, because the show continues to find its footing. What was impressive this time was that the episode was compelling and dramatic, and it had virtually nothing to do with the overall story-arc for the ...
