Kevin Murphy is a co-executive producer and showrunner for Caprica.

Murphy's television career began as a writer for the family sitcom Big Brother Jake. He went on to write for the animated series The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sabrina: The Animated Series and Phantom Investigators; the science fiction-themed light family programs Weird Science, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show and So Weird; the action series Martial Law; the romantic comedy-dramas Jack & Jill and Ed; and the family dramas Get Real and The O'Keefes. From 2004 to 2007, he worked as head writer and co-executive producer for the hit comedy-drama Desperate Housewives. In 2007, Murphy wrote and produced an original TV movie titled Nobody. In the same year, he worked as a writer and co-executive producer for the supernatural-themed comedy-drama Reaper. In 2008, he created the short-lived comedy-drama Valentine, which featured the Greek gods, including Aphrodite, living in the modern world.

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.

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.

During the Cylon occupation, Connor is killed by New Caprica Police troops led by James Lyman during the Temple Raids ("Collaborators," "He That Believeth in Me").

Connor's death spurs his father into joining the New Caprica Resistance and is the impetus for Charlie Connor's zeal in prosecuting and executing collaborators shortly after the Battle of New Caprica (TRS: "Collaborators").

Kevin Reikle was the praetor of the Soldiers of the One, the second in command serving in the Monotheist Church's training camp on Gemenon under Diego.

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 market U-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").
