George Murdock (25 June 1930 - 30 April 2012) was an American actor.

Murdock's vigorous filmography has recurring and guest roles in many genres of television, including episodes of The Twilight Zone, Death Valley Days, Tarzan, Night Gallery, Dynasty, Night Court, Smallville, Lois and Clark, The X-Files, Law and Order, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. Murdock's most popular comedic role was as the "by the book" police officer, Lt. Ben Scanlon, in Barney Miller.

Murdock also had roles in another Glen Larson program, Knight Rider.

Star Trek fans may remember Murdock (or his voice) in the climactic The Next Generation two-part episode, "The Best of Both Worlds," as Admiral J.P. Hanson, commander of the ill-fated Battle of Wolf 359 against the Borg. Murdock also lent his speaking talents as "God" in the film, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

Murdock lent voice acting to several American animated shows, including Batman, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Murdock potrayed Doctor Salik in the Original Series, as well as reprising the role in Richard Hatch's proof-of-concept trailer, Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming in 1999.

Captain George "Catman"^[1] Birch is a Viper pilot on the battlestar Galactica.

After the defection of Captain Lee "Apollo" Adama, Commander William Adama promotes him from Senior Lieutenant to Captain, making him CAG in Lee's stead. Although the elder Adama values Birch for his dedication and loyalty, Saul Tigh believes he is too inexperienced for the position.

Birch proves Tigh's fears to be well-founded when he endangers the life of Louanne Katraine during a target exercise in an asteroid field, and fails to keep the vessel Striker from colliding with a tanker during a fueling operation ^{(TRS: "Home, Part I")}.

His callsign is listed on a pilot duty roster after the Second Exodus ^{(TRS: "Six of One" and "Someone to Watch Over Me")}.

George Chu is part of Sesha Abinell's terrorist group that takes hostages aboard Cloud 9, hoping to get the Cylon prisoner Sharon Agathon neé Valerii in exchange.

He is visibly uncomfortable with the whole ordeal, hesitant to search the bathroom for more civilians, yet still goes along with the plan.

Seconds before a second rescue attempt, Chu is suprised by Billy Keikeya, who removes one of the guns Chu had on him and kills Kern Vinson. In the ensuing action, Marines storm the lounge and kill Chu and Abinell ^{(TRS: "Sacrifice")}.

Notes

Chu's first name, George, is from the script.
Chu could be named for Eric Chu, a concept art designer on the Cylons for the current Battlestar Galactica series.
