Alex Punch Hyde-White (born 30 January 1959) is a British actor of American film and television.

Born in London, England to Wilfrid Hyde-White (Sire Anton), he portrayed Cadet Bow in "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I," as well as appeared as an unnamed, but different Warrior in "The Man with Nine Lives".

He later participated in Glen Larson's Buck Rogers in the 25th Century in various roles; his father had a brief recurring role in the second season of the series as Doctor Goodfellow.

Life

Hyde-White relocated from England to the United States with his father, Wilfrid Hyde-White, after Wilfrid's role in Warner Brothers's successful 1963 film musical My Fair Lady. Hyde-White retained his dual citizenship.

During his teen years, Hyde-White joined his father in the theatrical run of The Jockey Club Stakes at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. At age 16, he attended Georgetown University.

In his later years, he became a father of two boys, and works with children as a baseball coach and a theater teacher. Hyde-White resides in Southern California.

Film and Television Career

At 17, he returned to California to become a contract player for Universal Studios, thus leading to his work on the Original Series and other Glen Larson series, including Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and Quincy, M.E. during the 1970s.

In the 1980s, he worked on Broadway and, from there, in England. While in England, he obtained his first starring role in Biggies: Adventures in Time. Work in other countries followed, including Ishtar in Morocco, Phantom of the Opera in Budapest, The First Olympics: Athens 1896 in Greece. He worked on a few additional UK television productions before returning to California in 1989 to work on the last season of Newhart (featuring Bob Newhart) as Scooter Drake.

Additional Hollywood film work followed, including Pretty Woman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the Civil War film Gods and Generals, Catch Me if You Can, and the first film adaptation of Fantastic Four.

In 2001, his production company TMG produced the romantic comedy Pursuit of Happiness (unrelated to the Will Smith film of a similar name) which went to DVD after limited theater screenings.

As of 2011, Hyde-White will screen his Hamlet-based documentary Three Days (of Hamlet)] at film festivals prior to a DVD release.

Lieutenant Alex "Crashdown" Quartararo (a.k.a. "Crash") is the Raptor ECO who replaces Karl "Helo" Agathon ^(TRS: "33") after Sharon Valerii reluctantly leaves Agathon behind on Cylon-occupied Caprica at his request ^{(TRS: "Miniseries")}.

A survivor of the crew of the battlestar Triton, Quartararo aids in the discovery of a fresh water source for the Fleet ^{(TRS: "Water")}, a Cylon-held tylium mine ^{(TRS: "The Hand of God")}, and the planet Kobol ^{(TRS: "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I")}.

Despite Valerii's initial misgivings of him, Quartararo is a loyal officer. His actions include the defense of Valerii to Sergeant Hadrian prior to Valerii's being taken away for questioning ^{(TRS: "Litmus")}.

Quartararo is also the object of Ensign Davis' affections ^{(TRS: "The Hand of God" and "Colonial Day")}, and claims to have known a "lady friend" named Kimiko prior to the Fall of the Twelve Colonies ^{(TRS: "Water")}.

Events on Kobol

After Valerii attempts suicide, Quartararo accompanies a mission to investigate Kobol, which meets with disastrous results. A Cylon basestar and Cylon Raiders had already taken position above the planet, causing the destruction of one Raptor, the retreat of another and damage to Quartararo's Raptor. He pilots Raptor 1 after his pilot is killed, crash-landing on Kobol near the ruins of the Opera House ^{(TRS: "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I")}.

Quartararo at work, still wearing a battlestar Triton patch ^(TRS: "33")

When sonic booms are heard, presumably coming from a Cylon ship, Quartararo leads the team away from a likely approach by Cylon Centurions. However, he hurries his team excessively to the point where they abandon most of their critical survival supplies, leaving Socinus, critically injured in the Raptor crash, without needed medicine. Quartararo orders Tarn, Galen Tyrol and Cally Henderson to return to the crash site to retrieve the needed medicine. This ill-advised move results in Tarn's death from Centurion gunfire, and later the death of Socinus, as the retrieved medicine could not treat his injuries in time. All that the medic kit could do is euthanize Socinus with a morpha overdose in lieu of suffering an agonizing death ^{(TRS: "Valley of Darkness")}.

Quartararo's inexperience reemerges again as he attempts to organize his team through textbook field exercises to destroy a missile battery that several Centurions have constructed from the remains of their Heavy Raider to destroy any colonial SAR parties. The parameters of the operation change when the Centurions shift their deployment, providing greater Cylon defense at the missile launcher, and when the DRADIS guidance dish is left relatively unprotected. Quartararo assigns Henderson the likely-suicidal task of creating a diversion while the remaining team try to destroy the missile battery.

Although Galen Tyrol insists that destroying the missiles' DRADIS guidance dish would accomplish their mission and prevent the shooting down of the SAR operation, Quartararo's inexperience and by-the-book insistence on following his original plan blinds him to alternatives that would greatly increase his team's survival chances.

As the SAR Raptor's sonic booms announces their imminent arrival, Quartararo hastily orders Henderson to begin the operation, but she is frozen in fear and refuses to move. Becoming increasingly irritated and irrational, Quartararo aims his sidearm at Henderson's head and threatens to kill her if she does not follow orders. Chief Tyrol aims his sidearm at Quartararo, asking him to stand down while Quartararo counts to three in a final effort to move Henderson along.

Before the countdown ends, Gaius Baltar shoots Quartararo in the back, likely severing his spinal cord or piercing his heart, killing him instantly.

After their rescue by the SAR team, both Baltar and Tyrol lie to Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama, claiming that Quartararo died a hero in battle ^{(TRS: "Fragged")}.

Lt. Margaret "Racetrack" Edmondson succeeds Quartararo as Valerii's ECO for her mission to destroy the basestar over Kobol ^{(TRS: "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part II")}.

Behind the Scenes

Actor Samuel Witwer was cast as Crashdown after watching the Miniseries and knowing he "really wanted to work on the first season."

Notes

• Before Pegasus arrives later in season 2, Quartararo is the only confirmed survivor from another battlestar in the Re-imagined Series.
• Crashdown is possibly named for the "Crashdown Café" from Ron Moore's previous series, Roswell, which dealt with supposed alien survivors of the crash.
• According to actor Samuel Witwer, executive producer David Eick described Crashdown to him as "a cross between Han Solo and Bill Paxton’s character, Hudson, in Aliens — the “Game over, man” guy! And that’s sort of what I endeavored to bring to the role."
• His real name was never stated on screen, but confirmed to be Alex Quartararo by Bradley Thompson. The name also appears on a playing card in the Battlestar Galactica Collectable Card Game, and is derived from the character's dog tags.

Musical Representation

Bear McCreary used the electric sitar, performed by Steve Bartek, to represent Crashdown's descent into madness during the Kobol episodes. The electric sitar had been featured most prominently in Battlestar Galactica during McCreary's arrangement of "All Along the Watchtower," but the instrument was first used extensively in the first half of season two specifically to represent Quartararo's mental deterioration as he went "full Colonel Kurtz" on Kobol.

Years later, when scoring Blood and Chrome, McCreary employed the same electric sitar technique to represent the unstable soldier Toth, creating a subtle subconscious connection between the two characters who both suffered psychological breakdowns in stressful combat situations.

Captain Alexa "Pugnacious" Cain is Galactica's CAG after the Cylon War, as well as during the time Lieutenant William Adama is stationed aboard the battlestar (Battlestar Galactica: Origins 5).

Cain is a career military woman who divorced her husband well before the Battle of Tauron, with whom she had two daughters, Helena and Lucy Cain. The divorce occurs as a result of her unwillingness to give up flying Vipers.

In the days following the end of the war, Cain is assigned to Galactica as CAG when the ship is ordered to hunt for a rogue Cylon cell called the Annihilators. During her tenure, she proceeds to push Adama and the pilots under her command to their limits, but earns their respect, particularly in Adama's case. She takes a special interest in Adama, as he becomes her right hand man and both become friends who often spar against one another through pyramid.

On a mission to hunt down the remaining Annihilators at Trinity Base, Galactica is boarded by Annihilators en route to that base, where the Cylons manage to decompress the ship and begin turning Galactica's weapons towards the battlestars accompanying her: Ulysses and Cerberus. A nuclear missile is fired before Cain, Adama, and a team of surviving crew members in EVA suits are able to remove the Annihilators from Aft Damage Control. However, in the process of securing it, Cain is stabbed through the chest by a Centurion, mortally wounding her.

As part of his promise, Adama delivers two letters that Cain had written to her only surviving child, Helena, and to Cain's own parents, who had apparently survived (Battlestar Galactica: Origins 5, Battlestar Galactica: Origins 6).

Notes

• In "Razor," Helena Cain's mother is named Saundra Cain and dies on Tauron during the final minutes of the Battle of Tauron.
• Cain's callsign, Pugnacious, is a term for someone who is eager or quick to argue, quarrel or fight, which aptly describe this character.
