Born in Donalda, Alberta, Canada, Helfer moved to Los Angeles in 2002 quickly earning a guest star spot on the second season finale of C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation. The following year, she earned her break with Battlestar Galactica, achieving a remarkably fast and successful transition into acting. During her hiatus from Battlestar Galactica, Helfer portrayed the legendary Farrah Fawcett in NBC's film, Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie's Angels. She furthered expanded her portfolio by starring as 'Stephanie Jacobs' opposite Dennis Hopper and Billy Zane in the independent featureMemory, and later starred alongside LeeLee Sobieski in another independent, Walk All Over Me, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Helfer returned to the small-screen in 2008, joining the cast of the USA Network's hit series, Burn Notice for a multi-episode arc. The next year, she filmed recurring guest spots on the award-winning CBS comedy, Two and a Half Men, while appearing on Fox's crime shows Chuck and Lie to Me. In 2010, Helfer booked a series regular role on the ten-episode arc of Jerry Bruckheimer's Dark Blue, starring opposite Dylan McDermott, and went on to do a variety of terrific roles on series such as Suits, on USA Network, Key and Peele, The Librarians, Community, Chuck, Jeremiah, and Franklin & Bash, among others. In addition to her vast array of television roles, Tricia starred in the film, A Beginner's Guide to Endings, with Harvey Keitel, Scott Caan, and JK Simmons, and later went on to star in Authors Anonymous with Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting.
Adding to her impressive resume, Helfer has done prolific voiceover work in mega-hit video game franchises including, playing the roles of Commander Veronica Dare in Halo: ODST, EDI in Mass Effect 2 and3, Sarah Kerrigan in Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, for which she won the 2010 VGA for Best Performance, as well as in StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm. She also showcased her voice talent in animated productions, Green Lantern: First Flight, a Cartoon Network TV movie, on Disney XD's The Spectacular Spider-Man, and on Disney XD's TRON: Uprising. In addition to acting, Helfer continues to support as many causes as she can, as she strongly believes in giving back.

Tricia, who has dual citizenship in the US and Canada, currently resides in Los Angeles.
"Getting Tricia Helfer as a guest in 2018 is huge," said Marc Nathan, show promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. "What a mark she has left on the screen for geek culture! From her series-stealing role in Battlestar Galactica to her multi-character role in Lucifer, not to mention popping up in Chuck or Green Lantern or Spectacular Spider-Man or Halo, her work has been concentrated around things we care about, and her fans are rabid about her. This is going to be exciting!"
