Sharon believed she was a well-liked Raptor pilot (callsign "Boomer") until her true identity as a Cylon infiltrator was revealed. That copy of Sharon was killed on the Galactica (and resurrected on Caprica), but a different avatar of Sharon fell in love with Karl "Helo" Agathon and aided the humans against the Cylons on New Caprica, earning Admiral Adama's trust and winning a commission as an officer and pilot in the Colonial Fleet; she flies under the callsign "Athena." Athena and Helo are married and have a daughter, Hera, the first human-Cylon hybrid. Despite her loyalty to the humans, Sharon Agathon's origins still sometimes provoke tension among her colleagues and within her own mind. Meanwhile, other copies of Sharon — including the resurrected Boomer — continue to live among the Cylons.
A citizen of both the United States and Canada, Grace Park has made her mark in film and television on both sides of the border.
Park made her screen debut in the influential Jet Li film Romeo Must Die. This was quickly followed by memorable appearances on television's The Dead Zone and The Outer Limits. However, it was her critically acclaimed role on the Canadian hit Edgemont that showcased her range and talent, establishing her as a star on the rise.
In addition to her starring role on the Syfy hit series Battlestar Galactica, Park has guest-starred on such notable series as Stargate SG-1 and Andromeda. She most recently joined her Battlestar castmate Tricia Helfer in filming video sequences for the acclaimed EA video game Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.
Park also stars on the big screen, opposite John Cho (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle) in the feature film West 32nd. Directed by Michael Kang, the film is screening at major festivals worldwide. Recently, Park completed filming the A&E pilot The Cleaner, opposite Benjamin Bratt; that pilot has been picked up for series.
Park holds a degree in psychology and is an avid skier and snowboarder.
