  • Gaeta's leg

    Does that mean the actor, Alessandro Juliani, has always been missing a leg or are they using a bit of movie trickery? I'd guess the actor has always been missing a leg but wiki doesn't mention his disability at all.

    You have obviously never watched Hollywood movies before. Ever.

      I have but this is more of an interest in the actor. I suspect it is fake but I would like to know if wiki is missing some germane facts. I've honestly looked at the films in question but have been unable to come up with an explination beyond 1) it is real or 2) the video has been digitally altered.

          I hope someone beats him over the head with his leg in the next episode then toss him out an airlock.

              But people in front of blue screens normally appear as themselves in front of a background. That would mean the image itself has been digitally altered, right? Or that it is real.

                I have seen the actor who plays Gaeta on shows made before BSG, and he clearly had both legs.

                  Not blue screen, green sock. Same idea.

                    I concur. The only possible explanation is that he's just an incredibly dedicated actor and made the ultimate sacrifice for his craft.

                        However, the actor who plays the coroner on CSI (Las Vegas) really has lost both of his legs.

                        The guy who plays Gaeta.... blue screen and/or computerized digital editing

                          James Doohan was missing a finger. Lost it in Normandy.

                          Incase you thought it was just a bluescreen effect.

                            I think they must have actually cut his leg off. It's the only possible explanation.

                            I've never seen them use digital effects anywhere else in BSG so it can't possibly be that.
