Tricia Helfer (b. April 11, 1974), who plays Number Six on The SCI FI Channel TV series Battlestar Galactica, is a Victoria's Secret model and was born in Donalda, Alberta, Canada. The 1992 Ford Supermodel of the World winner and former Elite model has graced the covers of such magazines as Elle, Amica Italia, and Cosmopolitan UK, and has walked the runways for Christian Dior, Givenchy, Claude Montana, Emanuel Ungaro, and other top fashion designers. Besides Victoria's Secret, she has appeared in advertisements for clients including Giorgio Armani, Oil of Olay, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

After doing correspondent work for the Canadian style/fashion TV-magazine series Ooh La La, Helfer gained attention as an actress when she played the lead female role of Sarah, the hero's love interest, in the two-hour premiere of the Showtime series Jeremiah. She later memorably played a teen model who tries to cut off her own face in an episode of the hit series C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation, and appears in the comedy short Eventual Wife, seen on HBO/Cinemax and on the AtomFilms Web site.

In 2008, with Battlestar Galactica coming to a close, Helfer signed on to the series Burn Notice.

Helfer lives in Manhattan.
