> Alessandro Juliani (born 6 July 1975) is a Canadian actor. He is notable for playing the roles of Tactical Officer Lieutenant Felix Gaeta on the Sci-Fi Channel television program Battlestar Galactica, Emil Hamilton in Smallville, Jacapo Sinclair on The CW series The 100, and Dr. Cerberus on the Netflix series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He is also known for voicing the character L in the English version of the anime series Death Note and its live action films, as well as several othe Julia...

He evidentially does a lot of voice work as well as singing.

It wouldn’t have hurt to check his wiki profile would it? I would have seen immediately that his background is primarily vocal (not surprising).

I are dumb.

So we’ve got flashes between Athena-chasing-Hera opera house visions and Athena-chasing-Hera through Galactica, all run through with Gaeta singing.

I suggest that Galactica is the opera house.

(and Gaeta is my vote for the last cylon, why make him so much of a main character now?)

I have a six-year-old daughter, and I’ve actually seen all those Barbie movies. Now I have to go back and listen to those characters again.

Are we spoiler quoting our guesses now? Because I think that the Reserrection Hub looked very “opera house-esque”.

And I agree about Gaeta…

They’ve done that before with minor characters – just before they’re blown away in some brutal manner. Billy being the most prominant of those. Kat, too.

… I knew Capt. Kelly was a gonner when he showed up in an episode and had actual _lines_ to deliver.
