Richard Hatch & Dirk Benedict introducing Battlestar Galactica & Axanar's Trailer. 

This is correct. It was never about space battles or special FX, which seems to be what people are drawn to these days.

no worries its public domain in 2047 in canada

AOC say world end 2031!

I had no idea he passed away..when?

He was working on a sci fi show when he died. He love the art of making films and shows and he loved acting and storytelling in its many forms.

You need to watch him in the movie Dead Man's Curve.

well said man

@@joet-sk4sw , and you'll never see it on liberal controled media ever

just saying, Frack starwars and the producer.

Our pleasure.

Wish I could have been there.

I loved his playing bad guys on Charlie's Angels. I loved his appearances on Sonny and Cher.

He cheated on Athena. Mean.

Same age as my Mum.

A lot of macrobiotic food will do that for you.

Well he's lived a meat and refined food free diet since the mid 1970's.

germanicelt: That's what I just said.

Brian O'Kongkohwer He has inspired me to get into a diet like his, only though I wonder if he's getting enough raw food especially berries and omega 3s for higher brain function.

Well..okaaay, but what about his dead pan wit, his flippant sense of humor esp. In the face of danger? That's what set Starbuck apart from everyone else, that smart-aleck comic relief persona of his, a sarcastic point of view that mocked the seriousness of Cylon menace and threat of his people's elimination. Richard Hatch the wholesome straight man and Starbuck the clown paired together was an amusing situation I thought.

Find the Rotten Tomato comment if it is still in the up about how they made Starbucks more macho than Starbucks ever was as a male character. Part of his quote says that Starbucks wanted to flirt and chase girls (figuratively) and play cards and drink and smoke his cigar. He loved to fly, but was not such a fighter as the female Starbucks. He points out that Starbucks is happy waiting for the alert, playing cards and telling stories and drinking and snacking. He was the charming male that offered girls and women a good time if they were willing. Starbucks had no need or desire to push attentions onto the girls. He never chased the underaged girls. However, his character is widely regarded as a toxic male, so not factually supported.

Her character is damaged. She is bitter and determined and predestined to do this thing and she brings a likability and heaer to the character that 998 great actors out of 1000 could not bring to it. Her character was less held back by the sexy male previous incarnation of the character than by the way her character was written.

His character respected women and girls.

Never made sense to me why They cast a Woman to play, "StarBUCK" in the reboot... wouldn't that then make her, "StarDOE"? (It was the beginnings of the whole gender/race swapping wave that Hollywierd is now nefarious for...) ;)

Rick Springfield also played the main character, Vampire Detective, "Nick Knight" in the pilot episode for the Canadian TV series, "Forever Knight", but he was replaced by Geraint Wyn Davies. Poor Rick never could catch a break... ;)

Let's not.

Our sincerest pleasure.

***** How's it going? Yeah, don't get me wrong, I found what Dirk was saying to be interesting in it's own right but, I really wanted to hear about his and Rich's recollection about the classic series. I wanted to maybe hear some humorous things that happened behind the scenes. Maybe some never before heard of stories involving some of the late actors with the series (Colicos, Greene, Astaire, Mcnee etc. etc.) as well as other actors and actresses. I agree that the global situation has gotten to the point where we are all sitting on a powder keg that is about to go off and no government or military faction will be able to prevent it. It is unreasonable to expect or assume things to remain the same. Something is going to give and when it does, humanity and the world as we know it is going to go through a *_major_* change, unheard of in history. Have a good one as well...

***** The BSG documentary? Yeah, I watched that. Awesome video. I will seek out the blooper reels. Thanks for telling me about them. I guess we'll just have to wait 'til some other interview to hear about those things. Everything is falling into place just as it should in order to bring the global change that this world needs and no world human government, militant group or religious order is going to stand in it's way. The clock is ticking down while most of humanity goes about it's daily life in blissful and willing ignorance. Have a good one...

@@RiverOfBlacklights So, 4 years later and the powder keg is still secure, it seems. Not sure if you meant a political powder keg (nations, hemispheres), social powder keg (men and women), religious-based powder keg, human rights upheaval, economic melt-down (the rise of cryptocurrency)... it is challenging to see what bizarreness humanity will be tasked to muddle through next! The Coronavirus/COVID-19 impact has been transformative enough and the trial of a Police officer and policing in general continues, it is hard to predict what 2021 through 2025 will bring -- but there are undoubtedly plenty of people engaging in speculation right now.

why are you not like that???.. lololol

Benedict doesn't drink, he's a eater of macrobiotic food.

@@Neville60001 he drinks whisky, says it many time in interviews

CBS

What or who is this comment about? It reads as a reply to something but, RU-vid comments do not thread together very well.

@@denniscosteajr.128 Dennis I was watching daytime TV decades ago and Dirk Benedict was being skipped, and the camera was avoiding him. Agree about you tube comments. Disqus was an annoying platform in many ways but it feels more like conversation time lagged or nearly instantaneous than other commenting services and platforms.

@@denniscosteajr.128 second reply to you. DIRK BENNEDICT was smirking and looking sarcastic and the others had expressions appropriate for morning tv. Boring and we all had fun making it and mild expressions.. This was when that network was ashamed of its hits and was tryimg to be classier like a different network.,and so forgoed profits of Battlestar Galactica and A team and went after the more erudite audience members. Well fun and cheesy as it was called later was like printing money back then, but the network 'went a different direction towards shows like Cheers'. However Cheers was a show I felt that succeeded despite its formula or frame. The writing and acting made it. Had they been vaccinating kids or building houses or selling toilet paper, those actors soukd have been worth watching. The actors respected thise characters in cheers and dud nkt sink winknat the camera or phone it in. When Sam was stupid, he went all in. When a female character hit angry it was powerful and not like a teen tantrum. Norm the post man was funny either lines. Lots of the jokes were about people sitting in the bar kf working in the bar saying that the others in their life make no sense and he saud this and I said that and he saud this and what was I supposed to say to that? Good writing based upon characters. The A team and Battlestar Galactica were pushed out like on an assembly line but they had appealing characters and character based plotlines and interesting stories . And the actors had chemistry.

at least it wasn’t cancelled after one lousy season

Dirk is the "MAN"!

So,what if he was?

No he wasn't (at least not then), my Sister dated him for a while in the 70s... ;)
