Ken Lynch (July 15, 1910—February 13, 1990) was the actor who portrayed Horning in the Original Series episode "Experiment in Terra" and Grover in the Galactica 1980 episode "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part II".

Lynch's career spanned many decades in radio, film and television. From 1949 to 1954 he was the star of the Dumont network television series The Plainclothesman in which the conceit of the show was that his face was never seen on camera, and he appeared from a "point of view" perspective. This led to him playing police detectives in many other productions including a recurring role on Glen Larson's McCloud as Sergeant Grover. Of note, the same name is on his uniform name tag in his Galactica 1980 appearance, undoubtedly an inside-joke.

On the original Star Trek he played Chief Vandenberg in the episode "The Devil In The Dark."

Lynch died at age 79 from a virus on February 13, 1990, in Burbank, California.

Ken Swofford (born January 2, 1932) is an American actor who portrayed General Maxwell in the Original Series episode "Experiment in Terra".

Born in DuQuoin, Illinois, Swofford started his show business career in the early 1960s, quickly finding his niche as playing the "every man".

Swofford's appearances in television, spanning from the 1960s to mid-1990s, include such well-known series as The Six Million Dollar Man, Gunsmoke, Mission Impossible, Adam-12 (with Galactica 1980 actor Kent McCord), The A-Team, Knight Rider and Max Headroom. In 1975, he was a semi-regular on Ellery Queen as newspaper columnist Frank Flannigan.

Swofford had problems with alcoholism, later narrating a video for Mothers Against Drunk Driving in 1983.

Kenneth H. Hawryliw is the property master for the Re-imagined Series (with the exception of the Miniseries) and prequel series Caprica.

A nod to Hawryliw exists in the form of a label on a bottle of alcohol, which the character of Leon Grimes uses to strike Lee "Apollo" Adama in the head with in "Colonial Day". A second is given in "Retribution" when a personnel file for Lillian Teller lists Hawryliw Robotics Inc. as her previous employer.

Kenneth Kobett, C.A.S. (also credited as Ken Kobett or Kenneth R. Kobett) is a re-recording mixer and sound editor who worked on the Re-imagined Series and Caprica. With over 150 television and film credits spanning multiple decades, Kobett is a three-time Emmy Award winner known for his expertise in sound effects mixing and innovative sound design.

Career

Kobett's early television work includes serving as a utility crew member on Camp Midnite in 1989 and re-recording mixer work on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman for CBS. He also served as re-recording mixer on The Simpsons Season 10 episode "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken."

Professional Partnership with Michael Olman

Kobett formed a long-standing professional partnership with Michael Olman, with the two frequently working together as a re-recording mixer team. In their collaborations, Kobett typically handles sound effects mixing while Olman mixes dialogue.

The duo's first major collaboration was on The Shield, where they worked together on Seasons 1 and 2. They went on to work together extensively on 24, where Kobett and Olman replaced Rick Ash and Joe Earle after the series premiere.

Work on 24

Kobett's work on 24 established him as an innovative sound designer. He is credited with creating the show's iconic ticking clock sound effect that appears at the beginning and end of each act, which became the series' signature audio trademark.

Working alongside Olman, Kobett collaborated closely with sound designer and editor Jeffrey Whitcher, who created ambient sounds from his home studio and fed tracks to Kobett via FTP upload. According to Kobett, Whitcher "cuts all the effects and backgrounds. He covers anything that comes up in spotting, and interjects his own thoughts and ideas about what is transpiring in a scene."

The mixers on 24 worked under tight deadlines, completing mixes in just two nine-hour days—twelve hours total to mix 45 minutes of non-stop action. The show was groundbreaking in being prepared specifically for 5.1 surround sound from its inception, with a dedicated boom channel and elements cut for surround play. Original co-producer and director Stephen Hopkins specifically requested innovative sonic approaches, including using sound effects to overpower dialogue and music to convey emotion—techniques that were unconventional for television at the time.

Battlestar Galactica

Kobett joined the Battlestar Galactica sound team beginning with the Season 2 episode "Scattered," where he and Michael Olman replaced Kevin Burns and Todd Orr as re-recording mixers.

Kobett worked on 39 episodes of Battlestar Galactica from 2005 to 2009, and received an Emmy nomination alongside Olman for their work on the series finale "Daybreak, Part II" in 2009. He continued his work on the franchise with the prequel series Caprica, working on 17 episodes from 2009 to 2010.

Awards and Recognition

Kobett's work has earned him significant industry recognition:

• Three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Sound Mixing:
  • 24 (two wins)
  • Dinosaur Planet for Discovery Channel (one win)
• Multiple Emmy nominations for 24 over seven consecutive years
• Emmy nomination for 24: Redemption
• Emmy nomination for Battlestar Galactica: "Daybreak, Part II"
• HPA Award (shared win) for Outstanding Sound – Television for American Gods episode "The Bone Orchard" (2017), working alongside Bradley North, Joseph DeAngelis, David Werntz, and Tiffany S. Griffith at Technicolor – Hollywood
• HPA Award nomination for American Gods episode "The Bone Orchard" (2017)

Recent Work

In 2022, Kobett joined Sony Pictures Post Production Services alongside re-recording mixer Vicki Lemar, with whom he had been working as a team for four years. The partnership's credits include the television series Riverdale, Yellowjackets, Roar, and American Horror Story.

At Sony Pictures, Kobett and Lemar are based in Dub Stage 12, a facility upgraded with Dolby Atmos features and equipped with a dual 48-fader Avid S6 console. Their first projects at the studio included You for Netflix and The Crossover for Disney+. They are joined by their long-time mix technician Eric Huezo.

Kobett has worked extensively on Riverdale (2019-2023, 71 episodes) as both re-recording mixer and supervising sound editor, as well as the musical series Schmigadoon! (2019, 13 episodes) as re-recording mixer for effects.

Additional notable credits include Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Dead Silence (2007), Lie to Me, Bosch, Manhunt, and The Office, for which he won a Cinema Audio Society Award alongside John W. Cook II for the episode "New Guys."
