Jack Stauffer (born December 3, 1945) is an American ( USA) actor and director. He played the character of Lieutenant Bojay in the original Battlestar Galactica. To date, Stauffer has guest starred on 60 different television shows (miniseries, regular series, and TV movies), "numerous" stage productions, and over 250 commercials.

Biography

Born in New York, NY, Stauffer has acted in film, theater, commericals and television series since 1970. His career began when he played the original Chuck Tyler in the ABC soap opera, All My Children, alongside Apollo actor, Richard Hatch. Stauffer stayed with AMC for 3 1/2 years, acting in 386 episodes of the series.

He later rejoined Hatch in the Battlestar Galactica episode, "The Living Legend, Part I," as Lieutenant Bojay. Stauffer reprised the role in two additional episodes, "The Living Legend, Part II" and "War of the Gods, Part I". The character was only intended to be seen in WOTG, where he was intended to die, however he impressed Glen Larson enough for that decision to be reversed. Stauffer would have been given an increased role on par with Herb Jefferson Jr. and Anne Lockhart, had there been a second season.

In 1999, Stauffer participated in Hatch's Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming revival trailer. During the revival campaign, Stauffer wrote for the then Michael Faries operated BattlestarGalactica.com (website owned by Richard Hatch) on the topics ranging from acting to the revival attempts of Glen Larson and the Tom DeSanto / Bryan Singer collaboration effort.

In 2000, Stauffer moved to the Monterey Peninsula, where he quickly established himself as an actor-director. Some of the plays he directed (see below) had to have their runs extended due to sales.

In 2002-2003, Stauffer participated in another Richard Hatch promotional trailer endeavor called The Great War of Magellan (GWoM), along with actors Brad Dourif, J.G. Hertzler, Richard Lynch, and Mickalean McCormick. It was hoped that GWoM would spawn off a television or movie series, though the story for it is being made into a comic book, which will be released later 2005.

In 2004, he starred in William Mastroimone's "Cat's Paw," where he played a terrorist, a role which came as a challenge for Stauffer as he had never played a character of that kind previously. The play, in Stauffer's words, was "a very dark drama centered around the question of which evil is greater: a terrorist who will go to any length to accomplish his goal, or the ambitious reporter who will do anything to get the story, because she sees it as her ticket to prime time".

He is also a popular draw for classic Galactica fans at SF/Battlestar conventions, including Galacticon, where he performs his one-hour cabaret, "How Come I Never Got the Girl?".

Jack Archer is a security guard manning the security desk in the AR building lobby at the Pacific Institute of Technology.

Troy and Dillon encounter him when they try to meet Dr. Donald Mortinson for the first time. As he reviews a clipboard to check their names against a list, Troy stuns him, permitting the two Warriors to find Mortinson's room on a nearby chart and their subsequent entry to Mortinson's office at room 323.

After recovering from the stun, he calls Mortinson's office and talks to Dorothy Carlyle, who covertly informs him that the Warriors (believed to be protesters who mean to harm Mortinson) are in the office. He assures her that security is on the way, instructing her to get far away from the door and to keep them there on the false promise that Mortinson is on his way back ^{(1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I")}.

Notes

• The name "Jack" is derived from the dialogue between him and Dorothy Carlyle, when he instructs her to say "Good morning, Jack" should the two intruders (Troy and Dillon) be in the room with her. It is assumed that the first and natural thing that would come to mind would be his first name.
• The last name of "Archer" is taken directly from his name tag, which is clearly legible when he is seated at his desk after Troy stuns him.
• Archer holds the distinction of being the first Earthling to be stunned by Troy.
• In the Galactica Discovers Earth novelization, this character's dialgoue is delivered by a man named Scott Miles.

[[Image:|200px|Colonel Jack Sydell]]

Colonel Jack Sydell is an officer with the United States Air Force charged with tracking down sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (colloquially called "UFOs") as part of Air Force Special Detachment One.

Sydell is first on to Troy and Dillon's trail when Shuttle Alpha has a near miss with a commercial jumbo-jet, Flight 427. He investigates where it landed, questioning the newly arrived Warriors and the Super Scouts ^{(1980: "The Super Scouts, Part I")}. Once it is found out that the Super Scouts are a fake scout troop, he believes them to be part of the extraterrestrial phenomenon and is adamant about capturing them. However, he is outfoxed, which angers him and only makes him more resolved ^{(1980: "The Super Scouts, Part II")}.

Later, he manages to connect their association to Jamie Hamilton, and follows her down to Billy Eheres' baseball camp, wanting to witness first hand that the children were otherworldly. Due to his presence, Hamilton tells the Super Scouts to lose the game, but when it is revealed that Lieutenant Nash is actually Xaviar, she tells them to use their abilities to win the game. After this, he tries to arrest her, Xaviar and the children, but is thwarted by Xaviar and by the timely arrival of Dillon and Troy. In Troy and Dillon's pursuit of Xaviar, Xaviar shoots Sydell, thus allowing him to escape the Warriors who go to the aid of their Earthly pursuer ^{(1980: "Spaceball")}.

Following detection of an unidentified craft that subsequently crash lands outside of New York City, Colonel Briggs assumes Sydell's role and believes that Troy and Dillon are somehow involved. In a conversation with the New York City police chief, Briggs notes that Sydell is still alive, but is in a form of coma ^{(1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II")}.

Notes

• Sydell is the pathetic kind of character known as "the hapless pursuer." His pursuit always lacks any real sense of drama, because if he were to ever succeed in apprehending his quarry then the series would come to an end.
• Sydell's zeal for investigating Troy and Dillon, and in spacecraft in general, stems from an experience he has during a flight in a fighter craft. In this experience, he pursues an unidentified target that turns towards him.

Wolfman Jack is a radio personality at WQSL, a radio station in New York City, New York, America on Earth. He is known for his trademark wolf-howl and the catchphrase of "Oh, yeah!"

He is first mentioned to the Cylons Andromus ("Andy") and Centuri by Shirley Blore. Andromus later expresses a great interest in Wolfman Jack when he connects Wolfman to radio transmissions ^{(1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I")}.

After finding out the location and security of the transmission station, Centuri and Andromus manage to dragoon Wolfman into accompanying them at the International Trade Center. Despite his help, the Cylons are still thwarted by Troy and Dillon and the Cylons remain unaware of Earth's location in the cosmos ^{(1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II")}.

Notes

• Wolfman Jack is noteworthy in that he is the only actor to play themselves in any of the Battlestar Galactica series.

During the destruction unleashed on the city of Caprica, Education Secretary Laura Roslin asks the captain of her starliner, Colonial Heavy 798 to contact the Ministry for Civil Defense to ask what they could do to help in the crisis.

The captain alerts Roslin to a successful communications link with someone on Caprica. Roslin speaks with Jack, presumed to be a government official as he is aware of key events that have occurred in the wake of the Cylon attack on the Colonies.

Jack: "Thank god you're not here, Laura. Thank god! I've never seen anything like it!"

Laura Roslin: "Jack... where is the president?"

Jack: "... there's people wandering the streets..."

Roslin: "Where is the president, Jack?... is he alive?"

Jack: "I don't know.. I think so... we hear all kinds of things."

Roslin: "Have the Cylons made any demands? Do we know what they want?"

Jack: "No...no contact, I'm pretty sure about that..."

Roslin: "Has anyone discussed... has anyone discussed the possibility of surrender? Has it been considered?"

Jack: "After Picon was nuked, the president offered a complete unconditional surrender. The Cylons didn't even respond!"

With that, the captain of the transport interrupts Roslin with news from Captain Lee Adama (flying escort in his father's old restored Viper) of a Cylon incoming missile. Jack is never heard from again in the miniseries, nor does Roslin speak again with any other surviving government officials. Later, Roslin is appointed to the office of the President of the Twelve Colonies by emergency succession ^{(TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1")}.

Notes

In an early draft of the miniseries, Jack is apparently another secretary in the Colonial government.

Jack Fisk, is the executive officer of the battlestar Pegasus when he and Admiral Helena Cain discover Galactica.

Fisk is a typical orders-only XO who generally keeps to the status quo established by his commanding officer. Like his counterpart on Galactica, Saul Tigh, Fisk is fond of drinking, although he appears far less likely to drink on duty than Tigh has in the past. He has a jovial personality, often cracking jokes to ease tension.

Serving in an unspecified role in Pegasus's CIC, then-Lieutenant Colonel Fisk is promoted to colonel and XO shortly after the Cylon attack on the Twelve Colonies, when Colonel Belzen is shot in front of the crew by Cain for refusing her order to send all of Pegasus's Vipers, outnumbered 4-to-1, into an attack on a Cylon communication relay. Shaken by this summary execution, Fisk is careful never to contradict the admiral, and orders the attack without hesitation.

Fisk relates an incident aboard a civilian ship to Colonel Tigh in confidence over drinks ^{(TRS: "Pegasus")}. He and Kendra Shaw lead a marine strike team onto the ship, the Scylla, to carry out an order to strip the vessel of select resources and personnel. When Fisk reports that the civilians refuse to cooperate, Cain tells him to shoot the family of any selectee who refuses to comply. Faced with an advancing crowd that grows angry and unruly, and with Fisk and the marines showing signs of faltering, Shaw follows Cain's example and carries out their threat, raising her pistol and shooting a woman in the head, sparking weapons fire which leads to the deaths of nine more. This effectively ends any resistance from the passengers and crew, and cows them into heeding the boarding party's demands ^{(TRS: "Razor")}.

After Commander William Adama and Admiral Cain come to the brink of an armed showdown between their respective battlestars over her summary convictions of Karl Agathon and Galen Tyrol, Cain orders Fisk to lead a contingent of Pegasus marines aboard Galactica, ostensibly to guard CIC in the event of an enemy boarding during the Battle of the Resurrection Ship. His orders are to have the Marines ready to "terminate Adama's command," i.e. assasinate Adama and the CIC senior staff, once the battle is over, on her command of "Execute case orange" ^{(TRS: "Resurrection Ship, Part I")}. After the battle, however, she decides not to give the order. A relieved Fisk lets out an unexpectedly loud belly laugh in response to Tigh's observation that he could use a drink, much to the confusion of everyone in the CIC ^{(TRS: "Resurrection Ship, Part II")}.

Colonel Fisk breaks up a violent beating of Helo and Tyrol in the brig, conducted by Pegasus Specialists Vireem and Gage. He dresses down the men, warning them that striking an officer on Pegasus has severe penalties, and sends them on their way. When thanked by Helo and Tyrol, Fisk summarily dismisses their thanks, adding that he owed Lieutenant Alastair Thorne his life, as did others on Pegasus; he broke up the beating more for the sake of the uniform than anything else. When Helo explains that Thorne was attempting to rape Sharon Valerii, Fisk says, "You can't rape a machine, Lieutenant."

Colonel Fisk later assumes command of Pegasus when Admiral Cain is killed by an escaped Cylon agent, Gina Inviere ^{(TRS: "Resurrection Ship, Part II")}. Appropriately, Fisk is promoted to the rank of commander.

Later, Fisk became involved in the Fleet's black market, using his resources as commander to allow the shuttling of black market cargo through Pegasus, including fresh Caprican Imperial cigars to Vice President Gaius Baltar, for which he received unknown benefits from the black market boss, Phelan. When Fisk tries to force Phelan to renegotiate for higher compensation, Phelan has him garroted in his own quarters ^{(TRS: "Black Market")}. Fisk is succeeded by former engineer Barry Garner as commander of Pegasus ^{(TRS: "The Captain's Hand")}.

Notes

• A deleted scene from "Black Market" shows Captain Renner as Commander Garner's new XO. It is unknown whether he holds the same position when Fisk assumes command of Pegasus. Moreover, he doesn't appear in the aired episode and is never mentioned again in the series. This makes his canonical status questionable.

Jack Marshall is the Visual Effects Coordinator for the Re-imagined Series.

This article has a separate continuity. This article is in the Miniseries novelization separate continuity, which is related to the Re-imagined Series. Be sure that your contributions to this article reflect the characters and events specific to this continuity only.

In the novelization of the Miniseries, the character known only as "Jack" on screen, who speaks by wireless with Laura Roslin (aboard Colonial Heavy 798) is given a full name: Jack Nordstrom.

In an early draft of the miniseries, Jack is apparently another secretary in the Colonial government.

Notes

• The novelization of the Miniseries has other marked differences from the aired or sourced content of the series, such as Natasi and Jane Cally. As a result, these differences makes the novelization a separate continuity from the Re-imagined Series canon.

This list was created to keep track of Galactica's and Pegasus' current and former Viper pilots, Raptor pilots and ECOs. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.

Pilots are officers in the Colonial Fleet trained and qualified to operate a Viper fighter or a Raptor multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets," normally start training in simulators, but after the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Galactica's nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until Pegasus (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the Fleet. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "Rooks".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic pilot wings on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. William Adama, Saul Tigh) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as Aaron Kelly and Felix Gaeta, continue to wear them.

A flight suit, which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

Homages to real persons

The following pilots are homages to people working on the show or related to its production. Since they may only exist in behind-the-scenes photos and not featured on screen, they don't necessarily exist within the show's continuity.

Rank	Name	Source	Note
Admiral	Ronald D. "Caveman" Moore	Behind-the-scenes photo	A reference to show runner Ronald D. Moore.
Captain	Kevin "Silent" Smith	Behind-the-scenes photo	This is an homage to actor, director and writer Kevin Smith, who was considered to direct an episode of the fourth season.

Non-Canon

This is a list of names of pilots who have been identified as not being in the series canon, based on the following conditions:

1. The name is derived from a nameplate that was production made, and;
2. The name directly contradicts known, established canon.

Rank	Name	Source	Note
Lieutenant	Gwen "Red Devil" Fleer	Nameplate auctioned off during the Official Battlestar Props and Costumes Auction.	A nameplate likely made for Steve Fleer, who shares the same callsign, last name, and rank. Nameplate was likely made before production changes rendered it obsolete.

Major Jackson "Dipper" Spencer is the CAG aboard Galactica just before her scheduled decommissioning and conversion into a museum. He is a liked and respected officer who mixes easily with his pilots. Off-duty he enjoys joining his pilots in a card game, while on-duty he takes his work very seriously and treats his pilots with a firm but fair hand.

Decommissioning Galactica

In the final days of Galactica's decommissioning preparations, Spencer enjoys a cigar while playing a game of triad with Colonel Saul Tigh and Lieutenants Karl Agathon, Kara Thrace, and Sharon Valerii. During the game, Thrace and Tigh trade barbs, with Thrace broaching the topic of Tigh's estranged wife; after Thrace wins the game by having full colors, Tigh flips their table over to assault Thrace and is held back by Spencer before the brawl could escalate, but Tigh orders Thrace be thrown in the brig.

During the decommissioning ceremonies for Galactica, Spencer plays second fiddle to Captain Lee Adama, allowing the younger man to fly the newly-restored Viper Mark II N7242C—the vehicle flown by Lee's father, then-Lieutenant William Adama during the First Cylon War.

Following the decommissioning ceremony, Spencer leads his squadron—the last fully-operational squadron on Galactica with Viper Mark VIIs—to Caprica, presumably for later reassignment within the Colonial Fleet. While en route, the Cylons launch their surprise attack on the Twelve Colonies.

At the dawn of the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, Spencer leads his Viper Mark VII squadron, rendered impotent by the compromised Command Navigation Program software update, to their deaths ^{(TRS: "Miniseries, Night 1")}.

Alerted to the attack by Galactica, Spencer locates two Cylon Raider fighters and, after ordering the accompanying Raptor 312 reconnaissance vehicle away from the combat zone, orders his squadron to weapons free to intercept and destroy the Raiders. As the targets approach, all Vipers in Spencer's squadron suffer simultaneous and complete system failures as the Cylons infiltrate their onboard computers using the backdoor programming of the Command Navigation Program upgrade.

The impotent squadron is quickly destroyed by missiles deployed by the two Raiders, with Spencer among the first to be killed ^{(TRS: "Miniseries")}.

Thrace later recites his callsign along with other fallen pilots in her dedication during a toast celebrating the death of the ace Cylon Raider, Scar, by Louanne "Kat" Katraine ^{(TRS: "Scar")}.

Notes

• In their DVD commentary of the Miniseries, producers Ron Moore, David Eick and director Michael Rymer note they were very impressed with actor John Mann's performance as Major Spencer. They were disappointed in killing off his character, jokingly wishing to bring him back as his character's "twin brother" because they enjoyed working with him so much. Mann eventually returned for "Black Market," but all his character's scenes were cut from the episode.
