== On ''Battlestar Galactica'' ==
Bennett was cast as the humanoid Cylon [[Aaron Doral]] after initially auditioning for the role of Dr. [[Gaius Baltar]].<ref group="Book">{{Cite book|author=David Bassom|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]|year=2005|publisher=Titan Books|isbn=1845760972|page=133}}</ref> Much like his co-star [[Tricia Helfer]], Bennett doesn’t view his Cylon alter ego as a villainous character. “Aaron Doral is doing the right thing as far as he’s concerned,” he explains. “He certainly doesn’t view himself as a bad guy. He can seem cold and creepy and calculated at times, but he’s simply on a mission to do what he thinks is right.”<ref group="Book">{{Cite book|author=David Bassom|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]|year=2005|publisher=Titan Books|isbn=1845760972|page=133}}</ref>
A fan of the [[Original Series]] as a child, Bennett was excited to be cast in the remake and to work with director [[Michael Rymer]]. Reflecting on the [[Season 1 (2004-05)|first season]], he stated, “I didn’t get to do as much as I would have liked on season one, but I enjoyed every day I worked on the show, and I feel the show itself is just fantastic. They’re exploring some incredible ideas.”<ref group="Book">{{Cite book|author=David Bassom|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]|year=2005|publisher=Titan Books|isbn=1845760972|page=133}}</ref>
