Paley Fest, a yearly event dedicated to discussions about some of the best shows on television, broke from tradition this year by inviting smaller screen triumph “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog” to the event.

It may not have been a huge ratings hit (like, say, “American Idol” or “Dancing with the Stars”), but “Galactica” – or “BSG,” as it has come to be known – was thought-provoking TV at its finest, thanks to great stories and complex characters.

But where will the actors who gave life to those characters wind up? The answers, inside.
