TOPIC: RIP Richard Hatch Fly forever free Captain Apollo

Richard Hatch AKA Captain Apollo of the original Battlestar Galactica passed away the other day.

From those who knew him personally, he was considered a truly good man.

In my youth, the show was one of my all time favorites and I was truly saddened when it was canceled.

RIP and happy skies Captain Apollo.

I'm also saddened to see him pass. I did hear that he was a very good person, and he certainly had passion for his Apollo character and Battlestar Galactica. It was one of my favorite shows as well. As much as I liked the Battlestar Galactica reboot, he'll always be "THE" Apollo.

I chatted with him a few times at conventions. He was always incredibly gracious and enthusiastic with his fans. A true mensch!

I loved the show and he was a big part of why it was so appealing
