In the ''Battlestar Galactica'' [[Miniseries]], Birchfield-Eick appeared uncredited as [[Ellen Tigh]] in a photograph that her character's husband [[Saul Tigh]] burns with his cigar during the opening scenes. According to her husband, [[David Eick]], she was used in this photo because the role of Ellen Tigh had not yet been cast when the scene was filmed.<ref group="Book">{{Cite book|author=David Bassom|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]|year=2005|publisher=Titan Books|isbn=1845760972|page=78}}</ref> After actress [[Kate Vernon]] was cast as Ellen Tigh, the scene was recreated for the episode "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]," where Vernon's likeness replaced Birchfield-Eick's in the photograph for the retconned flashback sequence.
In the ''Battlestar Galactica'' [[Miniseries]], Birchfield-Eick appeared uncredited as [[Ellen Tigh]] in a photograph that her character's husband [[Saul Tigh]] burns with his cigar during the opening scenes. According to DVD commentary by [[Ronald D. Moore]], [[David Eick]], and [[Michael Rymer]], she was used in this photo because the role of Ellen Tigh had not yet been cast when the scene was filmed. After actress [[Kate Vernon]] was cast as Ellen Tigh, the scene was recreated for the episode "[[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]]," where Vernon's likeness replaced Birchfield-Eick's in the photograph for the retconned flashback sequence.
 
Birchfield-Eick also played a crucial, albeit indirect, role in the casting of [[Kara Thrace]]. When David Eick was struggling to cast the part, he was playing [[Katee Sackhoff]]'s audition tape at home. Birchfield-Eick happened to walk by, glanced at the screen, and said to her husband, "What's wrong with you? She's right there!" Her comment convinced Eick to cast Sackhoff in the iconic role.<ref group="Book">{{Cite book|author=David Bassom|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]|year=2005|publisher=Titan Books|isbn=1845760972|page=23}}</ref>
