BW’s Morning Article Link: Richard Hatch Passes Away

May 21, 1945 – February 7, 2017

Showing how little attention I pay to my e-mail sometimes, I just found out that Richard Hatch, who played Apollo on the original Battlestar Galactica, has passed away as a result of pancreatic cancer. It’s one of the shows I grew up with, which made it a big deal here at the Spotlight. He follows the show’s creator, Glen A. Larson, who passed on a few years ago. Hatch had a career beyond that, but was always connected to the show and worked for a revival, although Universal went with the darker remake instead. He will be missed by loved ones and fans.
