Mini-Series
Boxey was the son of the Armistice Officer at Armistice Station. Following the Cylon Attack, Boxey and his aunt sought sanctuary when a Raptor flown by Lieutenants Valerii and Agathon made an emergency landing on Caprica. When it became evident that the Raptor could not rescue all those who came to it, Boxey's aunt gave him up for transport back to battlestar Galactica, where he has since been unofficially adopted by members of the crew (Mini-Series).
Season One
In season one, Boxey has been seen following Kara Thrace around and copying her attitude and tone with Saul Tigh in Bastille Day. He has also been seen eating with Boomer and other pilots on Galactica. He is mostly found in deleted scenes and on the cutting room floor, with very little exposure otherwise.
Notes
- Boxey is a based on a character of the same name from the Original Series. He shares some simmilarities with his TOS counterpart, in that he is a young boy orphaned by the Cylon Attack who is adopted by members of Galactica's crew. While Boxey was an often recurring character in the Original Series and the main character of the follow up series, Galactica 1980, in the re-imagined series, he has only appeared in one episode of the first season, "Bastille Day". A number of other appearances were filmed, but they were cut from other episodes due to time considerations, and the character now appears to have been abandoned.
- In the original draft of the Miniseries, Boxey would form a family unit with Sharon Valerii and Galen Tyrol, but it was then decided that Sharon would be a Cylon sleeper agent. The writers then toyed around with the idea of still having the three of them be a family unit (with Sharon completely unsuspecting that she was a Cylon) until the season 1 finale when Sharon would reveal herself. Instead, starting with the second episode, "Water" Sharon early on started suspecting that she was a Cylon, and the writers found fewer and fewer ways for Boxey to fit in. An idea toyed around with was that Boxey would become the "artful dodger" on the show; running the black market, stealing things, etc. but it was decided that there wasn't even time for that.
- One of the problems with having a young character such as Boxey on the show is that while the actor ages in real-time, the re-imagined series has progressed much more slowly - the series has only covered about three months in fictional time from the mini-series (2003) to the middle of season 2 (2005).
