Katee Sackhoff as Liz Darling 

Katee Sackhoff, born as Kathryn Ann Sackhoff, is a famous American actress known for her roles in 'Battlestar Galactica', for which she was nominated for 4 Saturn Awards, and even won the award for Best Supporting Actress on Television!

In addition, Sackhoff also has recurring roles as Amunet on 'The Flash', and appeared twice on 'The Big Bang Theory'.'

She voices several characters including Bitch Pudding on Adult Swim's stop motion animated series 'Robot Chicken'.

Sackhoff has an online store and the actress states: "My mother and I have set up Fly Free Charity, an organization we’ve created that will take the charitable proceeds from the items sold in the store and distribute them amongst various charities of my choosing."

Her biography on IMDb reveals that she graduated from Sunset High School in Beaverton in 1998.
