Alan Hughes is Gaius Baltar's first lawyer, hailing from Zephyr.

He is responsible for sneaking the pages of Baltar's manifesto, My Triumphs, My Mistakes, off Galactica and disseminating them to the Fleet's population.

Cally Tyrol describes Hughes as a "snazzy high-priced lawyer". He appears to be something of a flirt, making a pass at Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson before boarding her Raptor.

In addition to his flirting, many of Hughes's quirks annoy Racetrack, which include whispering in her ear while she has her helmet on and taking off his shoes during flight.

Even Baltar did not hold his defender in high esteem, claiming that all "that bloke did apart from napping was, you know, manage to smuggle out my papers".

Hughes is killed when a bomb explodes under his seat in the Raptor meant to shuttle him back to Zephyr. His killer is later identified as Galactica Landing Signal Officer Captain Aaron Kelly.

After his death, Hughes is hastily replaced by public defender Romo Lampkin as Baltar's attorney ^{(TRS: "The Son Also Rises")}.

Allan Miller (born February 14, 1929) is an American stage, film, and television actor who portrayed Colonel Jack Sydell in Galactica 1980. Miller is equally renowned as an accomplished director, acting teacher, playwright, and cultural institution founder.

Biography

Early Life and Military Service

Born on February 14, 1929, in Brooklyn, New York, Miller is the son of Benedict and Anna (née Diamond) Miller. Miller served in the U.S. Army after World War II during the occupation of Japan. Noticing an advertisement in Stars and Stripes that was looking for performers, he began performing in shows to entertain the troops.

Training and Early Career

Following his military service, Miller studied with some of the most distinguished acting teachers of his generation. He trained with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio, Uta Hagen at HB Studio, and Erwin Piscator at the Dramatic Workshop. Miller spent the 1950s studying at the Actors Studio under Strasberg, becoming a member of the prestigious organization in his twenties.

During his time at the Actors Studio, Miller's classmates included James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Paul Newman. Miller recalled that Monroe "emanated sadness" and that no one sat near her in class until one day he decided to socialize with her. When he approached, she "lit up and called me by name to ask if I'd like to sit with her." Miller discovered that Monroe had memorized almost everyone's name in the sessions. Monroe planned to bike ride across the Brooklyn Bridge to take two recently born kittens from Miller's apartment in Brooklyn back to her hotel to care for them, but the hotel refused to let her bring them in. Regarding James Dean, Miller noted that Dean was "very short sighted, and commented rarely, but when he did it was very pointed and pertinent."

Miller did not make his television debut until 1967, when he appeared in an episode of the CBS soap opera The Edge of Night.

Career

Acting

Film and Television

Now retired from acting, Miller worked for decades as an actor, appearing in over two hundred films and television productions. His last film was Bad Words (2013), directed by Jason Bateman.

His film career included notable roles in Baby Blue Marine (1976), Two-Minute Warning (1976), Fun with Dick and Jane (1977), MacArthur (1977), Cruising (1980), Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), and Brewster's Millions (1985). Through these films, he shared screen time with such luminaries as Gregory Peck (MacArthur), Al Pacino (Cruising), and Richard Pryor (Brewster's Millions).

Miller's television work was extensive, with his earliest spots appearing in primetime crime dramas including Starsky and Hutch and Kojak, science fiction series such as Galactica 1980 as the perpetually hapless Colonel Jack Sydell, and sitcoms including Soap (1980-1981). He played Inspector Cramer in the television series Nero Wolfe on NBC. Miller is perhaps best known on television for playing Harland Richards in the NBC soap opera Santa Barbara.

Notable among Miller's television work was his experience on Barney Miller, where he appeared in four episodes. He described the experience as "like rehearsing a play every time," noting the terrific cast and guest stars and the hurried rehearsal schedule that sometimes went on until 3 AM.

Stage Work

Miller performed on stages across the country and on Broadway, appearing in dozens of plays. His stage credits include Curve of Departure at South Coast Repertory, Awake and Sing at the Odyssey Theatre, Broadway Bound at La Mirada Theater, Three Views of the Same Object at Rogue Machine Theatre, and the title role of Willie Loman in Death of a Salesman at South Coast Rep.

Most notably, Miller co-starred in the Broadway production of Broadway Bound and appeared in Brooklyn Boy by Donald Margulies, playing the role of Manny Weiss at the Biltmore Theatre in New York City.

Directing

Miller was the artistic director of the Back Alley Theatre, which he created and ran with his wife, Laura Zucker, from 1979 to 1989. For his work at the Back Alley Theatre, he received the LADCC (Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle) Margaret Hartford Award for Distinguished Achievement.

At the Back Alley, Miller directed more than a dozen productions, including Are You Now or Have You Ever Been... and The Fox, for which he received an LADCC award for direction. He was also one of the primary plaintiffs in a landmark lawsuit between Actors' Equity Association and Los Angeles-based small theaters, focused on the Equity Waiver Plan.

Other directing credits include The Fox Off-Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre and at the Berkshire Theatre Festival, Camping with Henry and Tom at the Westport Playhouse, and A Perfect Ganesh by Terence McNally (nominated for eight LADCC awards). He has directed nine productions at the Odyssey Theatre, including Juno and the Paycock, This Lime Tree Bower, Taking Steps, and First Love. He also directed Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? for the Actors Studio West.

Playwriting

Miller wrote the play The Fox, based on the D.H. Lawrence novella of the same name. He began looking for material to act that was not Chekhov, Arthur Miller, or Tennessee Williams, and re-read short stories he enjoyed, including Lawrence's The Fox.

The Fox has been produced by theaters in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Seattle, Fort Worth, Austin, San Francisco, San Diego, and most of the fifty states, including the territory of Puerto Rico. The play has been optioned internationally in France, Germany, Belgium, Hong Kong, Canada, and Argentina, and has toured England and Australia. It has been translated into French, Spanish, German, and Chinese, and has been published by Samuel French in an acting edition, Doubleday for the Fireside Book Club, and the California Arts Council's West Coast Plays.

Teaching and Cultural Leadership

Acting Instruction

Perhaps most impressive is the roster of acclaimed actors who have studied under Miller's direction. His students have included Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Geraldine Page, Lily Tomlin, Sigourney Weaver, Peter Boyle, Rue McClanahan, Dianne Wiest, and Bruce Davison.

Miller's relationship with Barbra Streisand began when she was only fifteen years old. At the request of his wife at the time, Anita Cooper, Miller gave Streisand a scholarship to one of his classes after having her to dinner. Streisand attended all his classes and became their live-in babysitter. He coached Streisand from the time she was fifteen through the opening of Funny Girl on Broadway. Streisand described Miller as "the person who changed her life," crediting him with helping her discover that life doesn't have to have "regimentation or meaningless boundaries." Miller is prominently featured in Streisand's autobiography, My Name Is Barbra.

With Meryl Streep at Yale, Miller recalled that her nickname on the faculty was "The Ice Queen"—brilliant but cold. He believed he was the first instructor to almost make her cry.

In 1965, Miller was part of the inaugural program teaching acting for the federal agency HARYOU-ACT at the New Lafayette Theatre in Harlem, where he established an acting company of teenagers that included Antonio Fargas.

Miller teaches acting privately and at colleges and professional schools, including Circle in the Square, the Actors Studio (where he has been a moderator as well as an instructor), Yale School of Drama, New York University's MFA professional program, the Focus Theatre in Dublin, and the International Actors group in Rome. He continues to teach acting and coach privately, offering free weekly Zoom classes through his website.

Miller's work as a master teacher is featured in the compilation book A New Generation of Acting Teachers, published by Penguin.

Symphony Space Co-Founder

In 1978, Miller co-founded Symphony Space, a multi-disciplinary performing arts organization on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, with his neighbor and friend Isaiah Sheffer. On January 7, 1978, Miller and Sheffer rented the decrepit Symphony Theater for $300 for a one-day event called "Wall to Wall Bach," a free 12-hour music festival featuring audience participation.

The event was so successful that Miller and Sheffer immediately decided to lease the building and transform it into a permanent cultural venue. Miller served as co-Artistic Director of Symphony Space alongside Sheffer for ten years, from 1978 to 1988. Miller resigned as co-artistic director of Symphony Space in 1991.

Author and Publications

Miller is the author of A Passion for Acting: Exploring the Creative Process, now in its third printing and recently released digitally on Amazon. He also created a DVD titled The Craft of Acting: Auditioning.

Professional Associations

Miller is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and has served on the Board of Directors of the Screen Actors Guild. He has been a panelist for the City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and the California Arts Council.

Personal Life

Miller has been married twice. His first marriage lasted 18 years and produced two sons, Gregory and Zachary, and two grandsons.

Miller met Laura Zucker in 1972 when she was 21 and he was 43. She was a graduate student studying acting at Yale, and he had been hired by the Yale School of Drama to coach the directing students on how to work with actors. Miller recalled that he met Zucker shortly after separating from his first wife, and was not looking for a relationship but simply "someone to have dinner with before I went to see a student's show." He noted that Zucker "was very generous to the other actors, and had no ego drive. There was a warmth about her."

At the end of the 1972 academic year, they both left Yale and moved into an apartment together. The following year they moved to Los Angeles so Miller could pursue an acting career, driving cross-country with no air-conditioner and no radio in July.

They were married in Beverly Hills, California, in the home of Zucker's sister. Due to a mistake involving a "fake rabbi" (who was actually a lawyer and friend of Zucker's brother-in-law), the couple uses two wedding dates: January 24 and 25, 1976, with January 25 being the legal date. The marriage had to be finalized the next day when Zucker's uncle, George Zucker, then a Beverly Hills judge, noticed the certificate wasn't properly signed and performed a second ceremony at a small reception.

As of 2018, Miller and Zucker had been married for over 42 years. Miller reflected on their relationship: "I've become more flexible and honest. I stopped exaggerating or lying. I can count on her support... I learned we couldn't go to bed angry. If she was mad I couldn't sleep." He noted that in the first couple of years, he thought Zucker might "get tired of being with an older guy," but added, "I have a young spirit. Somehow the life I was offering her was adventurous to her." The couple walk together every morning or night, with Zucker sometimes "teasingly smack[ing] me across the chest to make sure I'm not drowsing along."

Zucker works in Los Angeles as an arts management consultant at AEA Consulting. The couple decided not to have children together, though Miller was completely open to it.

Allan Cole, with his writing partner Chris Bunch, was a story editor on Galactica 1980.

In addition to his role, he is one of four writers who wrote "The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra," the last episode in production at the time Galactica 1980 was officially canceled by ABC, as "Alan Cole".

With his then-writing partner Chris Bunch, he wrote the military science fiction book series "The Sten Chronicles," which was sold to a production studio during the beginning of 1980's run. In fact, they themselves did not want to do the series at all, but were "blackmailed" into it because of their science fiction experience.

He later wrote for The A-Team ("Pure-Dee Poison" with Chris Bunch, Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo), Magnum P.I. and Mrs. Columbo.

Allan Nowart is a Marine on Galactica. He is Omar Fischer's replacement as Sergeant of the Guard.

Following the Second Exodus from New Caprica, Nowart spectates from the ringside during the boxing match between Galen Tyrol and William Adama, and the final bout between Kara "Starbuck" Thrace and Lee "Apollo" Adama ^{(TRS: "Unfinished Business")}.

With fellow Marine Henry Cheadle, Nowart provides security in Dogsville, where they witness Karl "Helo" Agathon's arrest of Michael Robert ^{(TRS: "The Woman King")}. Nowart and Cheadle are subsequently tasked with protecting Gaius Baltar's lawyer, Romo Lampkin. Though Cheadle is killed by Aaron Kelly's bomb, Nowart manages to successfully protect Lampkin until the trial ^{(TRS: "The Son Also Rises")}.

When Kara Thrace unexpectedly returns from the dead, Nowart and fellow NCO Sergeant Brandy Harder are assigned to escort her through Galactica. Both are incapacitated when Thrace takes Laura Roslin hostage ^{(TRS: "He That Believeth In Me")}.

Nowart does take part in Felix Gaeta's mutiny, but is less than fully committed to it, and permits Adama and Saul Tigh to escape his custody. Adama and Tigh take him hostage, but later permit him to escape, although he narrowly avoids being shot in the back by Kara "Starbuck" Thrace ^{(TRS: "The Oath")}.

Nowart continues to serve after the mutiny, and answers Adama's call for volunteers to rescue Hera Agathon ^{(TRS: "Daybreak, Part I")}.

As part of Lee "Apollo" Adama's Alpha Team, Nowart boards the Colony (he is the Marine who informs Lee that the Colony interior is pressurized) to rescue young Agathon. Despite heavy resistance, he returns to Galactica alive. It is unknown whether or not he survives after rejoining fireteams to repel the Cylon boarders ^{(TRS: "Daybreak, Part II")}.

Notes

• Nowart's first name, Allan, is confirmed by cast listing pages from two scripts, "The Woman King" and "The Son Also Rises."
• Prior to the events of the last half of Season 4, Edward James Olmos stated at the 2008 Dragon*Con that Nowart will have a major role in the last episodes of the series.
• Corrigan appeared in Season 2 as a crew member who rushes Louanne Katraine to sickbay in "Final Cut" and as a Pegasus pilot during a briefing in "The Captain's Hand." These aforementioned appearances neither confirm nor deny correlation with the character Nowart. Aside from this notation, Battlestar Wiki does not integrate these appearances into the proper biography of this character.
