Among his prolific work in television and film, his genre work includes appearances in Stargate SG-1 (and it's spinoff, Stargate Atlantis), The X-Files (and its spin-off, The Lone Gunmen), Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, and The Outer Limits.
Murphy is also a composer and lyricist. He wrote the lyrics and book for the stage musical Reefer Madness, as well as its television adaptation. He also contributed original songs to Nobody and Reaper. Murphy is working on a musical adaptation of the 1988 film Heathers; as of 2009, the musical had had several workshops, and was aiming for a regional production in 2010 and a Broadway run in 2011.[1]
Murphy began work on Caprica in October of 2009.[1] He is credited as co-executive producer, starting with the episode "The Imperfections of Memory". In November 2009, Murphy took over from Jane Espenson as Caprica's showrunner, with responsibility for running the writers' room.[2][3] When he began work on Caprica, Murphy was quoted as saying:
"As a rabid Battlestar Galactica fan, it's hard not to go in that writers room and not just grin ridiculously. These are the people who made the best TV show ever. To be able to be a part of the legacy of that show, I'd be willing to pay them for that."[1]
In addition to Caprica, Murphy has several other television projects in development. These include a television adaptation of the book Cheer: Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders, being developed for the CW with actor Tom Welling, and a drama titled Velvet Hammer for the USA Network.[1]
Dr. Kevin R. Grazier is the scientific advisor for the Re-imagined Series, and one of two writers of The Science of Battlestar Galactica—a book discussing the science depicted and hinted at in the Re-imagined Series.
Grazier earned B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Geology from Purdue University, and a B.S. in Physics from Oakland University, as well as M.S. degrees in physics from Purdue and Geophysics and Space Physics from UCLA. He did his Ph.D. in Planetary Physics at UCLA, and his dissertation title was "The Stability of Planetesimal Niches in the Outer Solar System: A Numerical Investigation". [1]
He currently works at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) on the Cassini/Huygens Mission to Saturn. In addition to that he is teaching classes in astronomy, planetary science and cosmology at UCLA and Santa Monica College, and is a planetarium lecturer at LA's Griffith Observatory.[2]
Grazier's involvement in Battlestar Galactica started when he worked alongside Richard Hatch in Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming, in which he was Hatch's scientific advisor, general "jack of all trades," and portrayed a Centurion in Hatch's proof-of-concept trailer.[3] Due to his work with Hatch, Hatch attempted to pitch Grazier to Ronald D. Moore during their initial discussions regarding the character of Tom Zarek. While Moore said they already had someone in mind, neither person knew they were talking about the same person—as Bryan Fuller (Star Trek:Voyager, Dead Like Me) had brought Grazier to Moore's attention previously.
For the Re-imagined Series, Grazier typically supplies the production with information related to astronomy and general space information. He also admits to coming up with occasional technobable for scripts, the usage of which is typically saddled on James Callis' shoulders.[4]
His presentation on how one would navigate space also lead to the creation of "The Passage," a Season 3 episode written by Jane Espenson.[5]
In addition to Battlestar Galactica, Grazier is also the science advisor for the PBS animated series The Zula Patrol and SciFi's Eureka.

Fahey was working as a Writer's Assisant on Battlestar Galactica for two years. Meanwhile he helped create a story arc for the comic series based on the show [2], and also won the 2007 Slamdance teleplay competition for his script "Ghost Town"[3].
In 2007, after he was promoted to Staff Writer [4], he wrote his first script for the series' fourth season [5], which is also his first professional credit.
With production of the show winding down, Fahey joins the crew of NBC's Kings as a story editor.[6]
Kevin Connor is the slain seven year-old son of Charlie Connor. He is described as a "red-headed boy".
With his father, Connor lives on New Caprica, meeting President Gaius Baltar during Founders' Day. Connor tells Baltar that he wants to be president someday, where Baltar replies that he could be if he sticks with his school work.
Reikle took part in the simulated hijacking of the suborbital transport carrying STO recruits including Lacy Rand and Odin Sinclair to the Monotheist retreat. Posing as a polytheist rebel, Reikle gave the recruits an option: renounce the "One True God" or be killed and tossed out an airlock. Unwilling to stand idly by, Lacy Rand took action, severely beating Reikle with a piece of pipe before Diego stepped in to reveal the deception to the recruits (CAP: "Blowback").
Reikle later welcomed Rand and Sinclair to the STO and began his duties in the training camp, instructing a group of recruits in the subtleties of mortars (CAP: "Blowback" and "The Heavens Will Rise").
Witnessing her ability to control the STO's black marketU-87 Cyber Combat Units, Reikle, with Diego, enlisted Odin Sinclair to execute Lacy Rand. When the time came, however, Sinclair turned his weapon on Reikle and Diego who had given him an unloaded pistol. Reikle and Diego were unaware, though, that several other recruits, including Lexon, were lying in wait, opening fire and killing Reikle and Diego (CAP: "The Heavens Will Rise" and "Here Be Dragons").
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 basicpilot 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.
Qualifications legend:
V - Viper pilot R - Raptor pilot E - Raptor ECO O - Other craft [1]
The following pilots' names can be seen on duty rosters in the pilots' ready room or on other documents following Gaeta's Mutiny. It may thus be presumed that they are on active duty.
The following pilots' names can be seen on duty rosters in the pilots' ready room or on other documents following the second exodus. Some of these names appear on the roster as early as the first season in episodes like "Act of Contrition" and "The Hand of God".
These characters have not been seen or mentioned since the settlement of New Caprica, during which many military personnel mustered out of the service. As such, it is not known if they are still on active duty.
The following mentioned-only characters have been identified by name. They may be identical with any of the mentioned-only characters identified by call sign, listed below.
The following mentioned-only characters have been identified by callsign. They may be identical with any of the mentioned-only characters identified by name, listed above. All the pilots listed for "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I" are part of the rescue mission to Caprica and identify themselves during the wireless check-in prior to the first jump.
This is a listing of pilots and callsigns derived from the nameplates that were auctioned off. These nameplates were either used on the Vipers in the background or made for the production, and thus may or may never have been seen on-screen. Their status has been presently identified as "unknown."
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.
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.
↑Firelli appears in the episode "Pegasus," appearing to fulfill the role of tactical officer. It is possible that, after Pegasus's destruction, he switches roles from CIC to fight duty.
↑ Jump up to: 10.010.1Butch and Dune's callsigns can first be seen on the locker doors in "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I". It is likely that their names are on the lockers in all other appearances of the weight room as well (such as "Scar" and "Torn") even though they cannot be seen on screen. The last confirmed sighting is in "Crossroads, Part II".
↑As Tigh's military record was falsified by John Cavil, Tigh's "life" as a Colonial begins after the First Cylon War and approximately 20 years before the Fall of the Twelve Colonies. Therefore, Tigh's actual flight ability is unknown.
↑Note: In the Miniseries, Gaeta does not have flight wings on his uniform, but when the show went to series, the character is given flight wings from "33" and onward.
