He fills Apollo in on his hunch, which turns out to be true as the two warriors attempt to get something out of the man.

			According to ''[[So Say We All: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Battlestar Galactica]]'', the role of Lieutenant Boomer, a Viper pilot, was originally offered to actor [[Terry Carter]]. However, when Carter broke his ankle, the part was recast, and [[Herb Jefferson Jr.]] was hired.<ref>{{cite book/sswa\|69}}</ref> Jefferson was cast after the series had already begun filming, and he recalls that the wardrobe department had to scramble to create a uniform for him, leading to him wearing a towel around his neck during his first scene in the [[Pyramid (TOS)\|pyramid]] game because his tunic wasn't ready.<ref>{{cite book/sswa\|71}}</ref>

			Jefferson, an accomplished theater and television actor, was proud that Boomer was a character of authority who was not defined by his race, noting that the character was written as a qualified officer who happened to be Black, which he considered progressive for the time.<ref>{{cite book/sswa\|71}}</ref> He received an NAACP Image Award nomination for the role.<ref>{{cite book/sswa\|71}}</ref>

			=== Re-imagined Series Perspective ===
			The Original Series' Boomer has little in common with his re-imagined counterpart, [[Sharon Valerii\|Sharon "Boomer" Valerii]]. While the original Boomer is a loyal Colonial Warrior, the Re-imagined Series' counterpart is a [[Humanoid Cylon\|Cylon sleeper agent]], unaware of her true nature for much of the first season.<ref>{{cite book/sswa\|491}}</ref> The re-imagined character's journey is one of internal conflict, self-discovery, and betrayal, a stark contrast to the straightforward, heroic nature of the 1978 character. The re-imagined series used the "Boomer" callsign for a Cylon model, fundamentally changing the character's role and allegiances within the narrative.

	Boomer is also instrumental in the rescue and well-being of everyone trapped in the Rejuvenation Center during a massive fire on the battlestar, managing to open a door in another section of the ship. Unfortunately, Boomer could not jury-rig additional doors as a fire on the other side blocked the only door within the storage room adjoining to the Center. He does get a note to {{TOS\|Tigh\|Colonel Tigh}}, informing him that they were alive and in need of rescue {{OS\|Fire in Space}}.

	One of the many warriors to disappear into the [[Ship of Lights]], although before this [[Iblis]] influences Boomer in a game of {{TOS\|Triad\|Triad}} against Apollo and Starbuck.

	He later questions [[Chameleon]], who claimed to be Starbuck's father, breaking up a situation that happened nearly a [[centar]] prior concerning the [[Borellian Nomen]] and [[Taba]]'s activated [[laser bola]]. He fills Apollo in on his hunch, which turns out to be true as the two warriors attempt to get something out of the man. Of course, the story Chameleon tells them about testing a Nomen child is not true, and Boomer subsequently discovers that Chameleon was fleeing from them as he swindles [[Maga]] and his Nomen. Boomer also discoveres the two Nomen, Maga and [[Bora]], miraculously alive in the launch tube after Chameleon fires the Vipers lasers at them ~~([[~~The Man with Nine Lives~~]])~~.

	The lieutenant must defend his friend, Starbuck, from a crime he didn't commit: the termination of [[Ortega\|Flight Sergeant Ortega]]. He and Apollo manage to find out that Ortega had been blackmailing three people, [[Karibdis]], [[Riftis]], and [[Elias]], whom bribed the warrior for passage off the planet {{TOS\|Caprica\|Caprica}} through the ''{{TOS\|Rising Star\|Rising Star}}''. In a brash and rare act of insubordination, Boomer activates Alpha Channel without consent, allowing the Tribunal to hear the confession of Karibdis. This act saves Starbuck from being tried as a killer and sentenced to rotting in the [[Prison Barge]] with characters that would had liked to get their hands on him ({{~~TOS\|Murder on the Rising Star~~\|Murder on the Rising Star}}).
