RIP Richard Hatch, the Original Apollo and a Tireless Battlestar Galactica Advocate (http://io9.gizmodo.com/rip-richard-hatch-the-original-apollo-and-a-tireless-b-1792109201)
Richard Hatch, who managed to star in two Battlestar Galacticas, has passed away. He was 71.
The news broke on Bleeding Cool and was confirmed by TMZ.
Hatch began his television career in the 1970s, first appearing as Philip Brent in All My Children and following it up with roles in Hawaii Five-O, The Streets of San Francisco, and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. But the role we all associate with him came in 1976, when he starred in Battlestar Galactica as Captain Apollo. And even though he would never stop advocating for a proper continuation to that show, he almost didn’t take the part:
