In the novelization by Michael Resnick, Dillon is described as a 6'3", 202 lbs. male with brown eyes and light brown hair. According to said police blotter, Dillon has a scar on his upper left arm as a result of a Cylon attack.[1] [2] In addition, Dillon notes that while he was on the planet Pinta, he had a personalized robot companion that appears quite similar to a jukebox, but better sounding.[3]
Notes
- When Galactica 1980 was originally conceived, it was to have featured the Original Series characters of Apollo and Starbuck. However, as neither actor was available for the project, it was decided to advance the storyline 30 years and feature two new characters, Troy and Dillon, as the new leads.
- Dillon's height is 76 inches, which is determined when his mug shots are being taken at the police station.
- In "Conquest of Earth", a love interest between Dillon and Jamie Hamilton is suggested, but never explored.
- Dillon appears in all but the last episode of "Galactica 1980".
