Always sad to see a childhood icon pass away. I loved Battlestar Galactica as a kid, cheezy though it was. It was fun. I was also happy to see that he got the opportunity to return in the Zarek role for the update. While some actors/actresses try to distance themselves from their defining roles, I always liked that he embraced the role and had such passion for the franchise even decades after it was off the air. Prior to the new series he'd raised money to shoot a pitch film hoping to reboot the series. I still have the original series in my itunes library, and will soon revisit some of the episodes and look back fondly. On to the next Richard Hatch...
