TORONTO - Vancouver-based actress Grace Park, who plays a humanoid robot on the hit sci-fi series "Battlestar Galactica," is taking on another feisty role.

The former model has been cast as a U.S. Homeland Security agent on the Canadian crime-fighting series "The Border," which starts airing its second season Sept. 29 on CBC.

The drama, co-created by filmmaker Peter Raymont, follows an elite team of Canadian border-security officers in Toronto. James McGowan plays the lead of Maj. Mike Kessler while Sofia Milos co-stars as a U.S. special agent.

Park's character, Liz Carver, is "smart, ambitious, edgy and very attracted to Det. Sgt. Gray Jackson (Graham Abbey)," said a press released issued Monday.

"Battlestar Galactica," which airs on Space in Canada, is on hiatus after airing the first half of its fourth and final season. There's no word on when the second half of the season will air.

In the meantime, Park can also be seen co-starring opposite Benjamin Bratt in A&E's new drama series "The Cleaner."
