			* The role of the Armistice Officer was initially offered to [[Dirk Benedict]], who played [[Starbuck (TOS)\|Starbuck]] in the [[Original Series]]. According to executive producer [[David Eick]], "I thought it would be a great sort of nod to the audience... Plus to see Dirk Benedict blowing up at the start of the miniseries would have been a great way to say, 'This is not your parents' ''Battlestar Galactica''!'" Benedict ultimately passed on the project.<ref group="Book">{{Cite book\|author=David Bassom\|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]\|year=2005\|publisher=Titan Books\|isbn=1845760972\|page=28}}</ref>
			* [[Ryan Robbins]] underwent a significant transformation through makeup and prosthetics in order to appear older than he really was. The original script of the Miniseries called for the opening to show a young officer repeatedly visiting Armistice Station over the 40 years between the end of the Cylon War and the Attack on the Colonies, progressively aging with each visit. Multiple scenes with Robbins in various age-enhanced makeup were filmed, however all of them except the final scene where [[Number Six\|Six]] makes her entrance were cut for time.<ref group="Book">{{Cite book\|author=David Bassom\|title=[[Battlestar Galactica: The Official Companion]]\|year=2005\|publisher=Titan Books\|isbn=1845760972\|page=28}}</ref>
			* Robbins would later portray the [[New Caprica Resistance]] fighter [[Charlie Connor]] in seasons [[Season 3 (2006-07)\|three]] and [[Season 4 (2008)\|four]], and later portrayed [[Diego]] in the prequel ''[[Caprica (series)\|Caprica]]''.
