This is a list of celebrity fans of the Re-imagined Series of Battlestar Galactica.
Carrie Brownstein[edit]
- In preparation for the Battlestar Galactica skit in the Portlandia episode "One Moore Episode," Brownstein began watching the series.[1]
- "It was a bit of life imitating art. When we started shooting the skit's first segment, I started watching [Battlestar Galactica]. So by the time Moore and the actors showed up on the set, we were crazed fans. And as Edward James Olmos was leaving, he gave this wonderful speech about Portlandia, and it was like, 'Here he is, giving us a speech, but we're not on the spaceship!' When you become a fan of something, it does become more difficult to separate reality from fiction, so for us everything became more compounded. That's a long way of saying that, yes, I am a huge BSG fan now."[1]
Billy Campbell[edit]
- Sci Fi Channel's president, Bonnie Hammer, stated he "literally assaulted me, trying to do whatever he possibly could to bribe me to have me bribe Ron Moore and David Eick to create a character arc inside Battlestar Galactica. That is the only show he ever wanted to be in. That is the only show he would do for free. Billy Campbell, literally, saying, 'Give me an arc, any kind of arc, in Battlestar Galactica, please.' And it was very hard to get away from.[2][3]
Harlan Ellison[edit]
- At the Screenwriting Expo 5 Harlan Ellison gave Ronald D. Moore the Television Writer of the Year, saying "You were given swine and you made pearls out of them.

- He also appeared on the WGA strike's Fan Day for Battlestar Galactica.

Jennifer Morrison[edit]
- While discussing her role in Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars alongside Tricia Helfer and Grace Park, Jennifer Morrison stated that she is a "huge fan". [8]

Quentin Tarantino[edit]
- According to Grace Park who hosted the Asian Excellence Awards with Daniel Dae Kim, "in the after-party, he wouldn't stop gabbing about it. I felt like I had to baby-sit him, he was so excited.

You tell Eddie, I've known Eddie for years, you go up there and tell everybody that's my favorite show. It's the best show on TV. What are you shooting? Why are you here?
