Before Battlestar, John Colicos was well known in the science fiction community in his role as Commander Kor, the first Klingon seen in the original series of Star Trek. The character of Kor was reprised in the third Star Trek series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for three episodes: "Blood Oath", "The Sword of Kahless", and "Once More Unto the Breach".
