What could possibly be better than former Buffy castmembers on Joss Whedon’s new series, Dollhouse? Battlestar Galactica hunks being cast in key roles!

Breaking news from Michael Ausiello at TV Guide’s:

Whedon has tapped Galactica stud Tahmoh Penikett (aka Helo) to play Eliza Dushku’s “twisted romantic foil” in Dollhouse, a spokesperson for Twentieth Television confirms.

Penikett has portrayed one of BSG’s most beloved characters, the first to publicly be in a relationship with a Cylon, although he wasn’t supposed to appear in anything more than the pilot. He’s definitely been one of my favourites on BSG. Penikett, from Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon Territory, is the son of a former Premiere of the Yukon. This is not the first time that Whedon has cast a Canadian cutie in a major role on one of his series - We all remember Edmonton, Alberta’s Nathan Fillion as Mal on Firefly. Let’s just hope Fox treats Dollhouse better than they treated Firefly. What do you think of this casting decision?
