Actor Richard Hatch, who was best known for his roles as Captain Apollo in the original "Battlestar Galactica" and Tom Zarek in the 2003 remake of the television series, died on Tuesday (Feb. 7) after an extended illness. He was 71.
Richard Hatch was a good man, a gracious man, and a consummate professional. His passing is a heavy blow to the entire Battlestar Galactica family. — Ronald D. Moore, director Battlestar Galactica
Richard Hatch, you made our universe a better place. We love you for it. Rest In Peace my friend, So Say We All. — Edward James Olmos, actor
cS members may remember and may have met Hatch as a past Spacefest guest.

He was a regular and very welcome guest at several Spacefest events, and we are all devastated at this sad news.

He was Captain Apollo in the show, and the best episode in the entire series was "The Hand Of God." I hope that's where he is right now.
