Originally hailing from Terra, Michael was the subject of experimentation by one of Terra's political divisions for life on the Lunar colonies. With Sarah Fowler, who was evidently an acquaintance, her children, as well as Melanie, they fled the Lunar colonies successfully via the Lunar Seven shuttle Lunar Avion he liberated for this purpose.

However, thanks to Lieutenant Starbuck and Captain Apollo, the ship is automatically intercepted and brought aboard the Galactica. The tampering of Doctor Wilker, despite his best efforts, accidentally revives Michael. He exits the craft through the decompression chamber, and stuns Reese after he doesn't heed Michael's warning. Michael's life is endangered due to the (relative) high-pressure of Galactica's life support systems.

When Apollo, Starbuck, Doctor Salik, and Cassiopeia return Michael to his ship, he demands to know what is going on and the reason his ship had been pulled off course. After being informed of the reasons, he arrives at the conclusion that there are similarities to his and the fleet's plights. He re-enters the cryogenic chamber, as does his companion, Sarah.

With the ship back in space and on its original course, it eventually reaches its destination, Paradeen. Upon landing on the planet, they discover that Sarah's father has died, and that the droids managed to finish building the house. Much to the surprise of the Colonials, Michael isn't actually Sarah's husband. His faith in technology and Terra put him at odds with her. An instance of this came when Hector and Vector wanted to perform a dance from the Royal Theater on Terra.

Upon discovering Hector's failure to deactivate and destroy the tracking beacon, he fears that it would herald the end of them all.

Michael later chastises Sarah for damaging the controls of both Vipers after discovering that she wants Apollo to stay on the planet for reasons of courtship. Subsequently, Michael accompanies the party that goes after Starbuck in the catacombs of the nearby major city.

Michael is also responsible for dealing with Leiter and his men. Interestingly enough, however, after Leiter and his men are dealt with, Sarah and Michael grow closer and she becomes less and less inclined to fight him ^{(TOS: "Greetings From Earth")}.

Notes

• Randolph Mantooth's brother also was in "Greetings From Earth" as a medtech from Rising Star (after Salik refused to extract the "Earthlings" from the sleeper-ship).

• Mantooth is probably best known for his role as paramedic John Gage on the series Emergency!

Michael Fred Sloan (October 14, 1946 – August 13, 2025) was an American screenwriter and television producer best known as co-creator of the television series The Equalizer. He wrote and produced episodes for the Original Series, serving as supervising producer during the show's production.

Early Life and Family Background

Sloan was born into a show business family in New York City on October 14, 1946. His grandfather, Fred Stone, was a vaudeville performer who played the Scarecrow in the 1902 Broadway production of The Wizard of Oz. His parents, Paula Stone and Michael Sloane, were Broadway stage producers who mounted numerous plays throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Their Broadway productions included The Red Mill, Top Banana, and Rumple.

Sloan's extended family included several notable performers. His cousin was Keenan Wynn, the character actor seen in many films throughout a storied career. Another cousin was Milburn Stone, who played Doc Adams on the long-running television series Gunsmoke.

The family moved to London when Sloan was young. It was there that he later began to write and produce feature films.

Career

Early Film Work

Sloan moved to England where he wrote and produced his first three films: a 1972 short titled Hunted and two features titled Assassin and Moments, released in 1973 and 1974, respectively. All three films were distributed by Columbia/Warner Bros.

Breakthrough with Columbo

While still living in England, Sloan wrote an episode of Columbo for Universal Television. In 1976, Sloan returned to America where he wrote an acclaimed episode of Columbo titled "Now You See Him." The episode, from the show's fifth season, was widely praised and effectively launched his career in American television. It was the series' only episode ever written by a freelancer.

Universal Television

Sloan returned to the United States in 1974. Before landing his job at Universal, he wrote seven episodes of the Warner Bros. television series Harry O starring David Janssen.

When Sloan landed his first studio job at Universal, he worked for Glen A. Larson and wrote and produced episodes of several series including McCloud starring Dennis Weaver, Quincy, M.E. starring Jack Klugman, The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew Mysteries starring Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson and Pamela Sue Martin, Evening in Byzantium starring Glenn Ford, Sword of Justice starring Dack Rambo, Battlestar Galactica starring Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch and Dirk Benedict, and BJ and the Bear starring Greg Evigan. He earned an Emmy nomination for his work on Quincy, M.E.

Battlestar Galactica

Sloan served as supervising producer on the Original Series. He co-wrote the teleplay for the two-part episode "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero" with Donald P. Bellisario and Glen A. Larson, based on a story treatment by John Ireland.

Sloan was also story editor on McCloud (1977) and supervising producer on both The Hardy Boys Mysteries and The Nancy Drew Mysteries (1977-79).

MTM Studios and Return to Universal

Sloan left Universal to work at MTM Studios in the 1980s. At MTM, he wrote and produced Riviera starring Ben Masters, Patrick Bauchau and Elyssa Davalos, directed by John Frankenheimer.

The Equalizer and Later Work

While on loan back to Universal Studios, Sloan co-created The Equalizer with Richard Lindheim and wrote and produced the pilot for CBS. The Edward Woodward-starring crime series aired on CBS in 1985 and ran for four seasons.

Back at MTM Studios, Sloan created and wrote and produced the television series The Master starring Lee Van Cleef and Timothy Van Patten. He also served as show runner on both The Master and BJ & The Bear.

Sloan returned to Universal Studios where he wrote and produced The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1983) television movie starring Robert Vaughn, David McCallum and Patrick Macnee. He also wrote and produced three television movies based on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman series starring Lee Majors, Lindsay Wagner and Richard Anderson.

Before leaving his second tour of duty at Universal Studios, Sloan produced forty-one new episodes of The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1985), most of which he also wrote. These episodes starred such television names as Lindsay Wagner, Robert Carradine, David Cassidy, Van Johnson, Rory Calhoun, Melissa Sue Anderson, Anthony Newley, Robert Lansing, Edward Woodward, Jean Simmons, Doug McClure, Eli Wallach and Mike Connors.

Sloan wrote and produced the feature film The Caller for Empire Pictures starring Malcolm McDowell and Madolyn Smith. He wrote and produced 88 episodes of the television series Kung Fu: The Legend Continues for Warner Bros. Television starring David Carradine and Chris Potter. He wrote and produced the television movie Earthquake in New York starring Greg Evigan, Cynthia Gibb, Michael Sarrazin and Michael Moriarty. He also wrote and produced the television movie Freefall starring Jaclyn Smith.

Sloan created the television series Mystery Woman for the Hallmark Channel which resulted in ten television movies over the period of several years.

While in Canada, Sloan wrote and produced the television series Call of the Wild starring Nick Mancuso, Shane Meier and Rachel Hayward for Animal Planet. He was executive producer on The Outer Limits (2000-).

Sloan wrote and produced three feature films for Kirk Shaw's Insight Films and Odyssey Media in Canada, including Max Havoc: Ring of Fire starring Mickey Hardt, Alien Agent starring Mark Dacascos and Art of War II: Betrayal, starring Wesley Snipes.

Sloan also wrote scripts for episodic shows including McCoy (2-hour NBC Mystery Wheel), La Femme Nikita, Baywatch Nights, Baywatch Hawaii, Pacific Blue, Police Academy, Switch and The Devlin Connection.

The Equalizer Franchise

Columbia Pictures rebooted The Equalizer franchise with a trilogy of films starring Denzel Washington between 2014 and 2023. Sloan served as a producer on all three films. In 2021, CBS rebooted the series on television starring Queen Latifah.

Writing and Theater

Beyond television and film, Sloan wrote the play Underground starring Raymond Burr, which premiered at the Royal Alexander Theater in Toronto and then moved to London's West End.

He wrote a series of Equalizer novels as well as a memoir titled One More Thing, Sir… about his experiences writing in Hollywood.

Over the course of his career, Sloan wrote and produced over 300 hours of prime time television.

Personal Life

It was while working on a 1989 episode of The New Alfred Hitchcock Presents that Sloan met actress Melissa Sue Anderson, a guest star on that week's episode. The couple married on March 17, 1990. Anderson was best known for starring in Little House on the Prairie in the 1970s and 1980s.

Death

Sloan died peacefully on August 13, 2025, in New York City. He was 78 years old. His death was announced by his family, which did not name a cause of death but noted that he passed away peacefully.

He was survived by his wife of 35 years, Melissa Sue Anderson, their two children, Piper and Griffin, and his sister, Judy. In lieu of flowers, the family requested that donations be made to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in honor of his deep love for animals.

Michael Angeli (born August 29, 1961) is a producer, TV writer, author as well as movie-celebrity journalist. He began working on the Re-imagined Series as a writer, which lead to his appointment as co-executive producer in Season 3 and Season 4.

Angeli graduated from the University of Wisconsin with Bachelor Degrees in English and Psychology as well as a Master's Degree in Creative Writing. He went on to become a journalist and has worked as a staff writer for magazines such as Esquire, Details, and Movieline on top of doing freelance work for publications such as The New York Times, Playboy, and Cosmopolitan.

He has interviewed actors Angelina Jolie, Joaquin Phoenix, and Charlize Theron and directors David Cronenberg and Henry Jaglom, among others. During his interview with Jaglom, the director reportedly threw Angeli out of his office when he discovered that the writer had never seen any of his films.

According to the Columbia Journalism Review, Angeli once wrote a profile of Demi Moore for Esquire entitled "Last Pinup" which was "a breath-bating account in which the star undresses, the writer offers her $500 to kiss him, and she declines." The CJR article used this instance as one of many facts to bolster its argument that women (or "girls") in many men's magazines are "mostly ogled, ridiculed, or patronized."

Angeli's December 1995 Playboy Magazine profile of Courteney Cox was titled "Babe of the Year," and called her "TV's most adorable female star since Mary Tyler Moore."

Angeli went on to write for television, working as an Executive Story Editor on Now and Again and as a Producer on Cover Me. While on Now and Again, he worked with Dark Angel Executive Producer Rene Echevarria, which lead to his writing several episodes for that show. He has also crafted scripts for Monk, Touching Evil and Medium.

Angeli co-authored the autobiography of Chyna (a.k.a., Joanie Laurer), a wrestler in the World Wrestling Federation.

Doctor Michael Robert is a civilian physician in the Fleet, assigned to take care of Galactica's civilian refugees.

First Exodus

Robert aided the New Caprica Resistance in treating the wounded resistance fighters during the Cylon's occupation of New Caprica, even patching up Saul Tigh's eye after he is released from detention. During his time on New Caprica, he not only befriends Tigh, but is additionally responsible for numerous murders of Sagittaron patients remanded to his care–all actions borne of his hatred of Sagittarons, which was only fueled by their unwillingness to aid the resistance effort. Sagittaron patients under his care had an astounding 90% mortality rate, which was recorded in documentation available in Doctor Cottle's office ^{(TRS: "The Woman King")}.

Second Exodus

Some weeks after the Battle of the Algae Planet, he is assigned to "Dogsville" and tasked with the medical well-being of refugees there. During the influx of an additional 300 people, he is the first to notice signs of the Mellorak infection and resumes his guerrilla euthanasia campaign against the Sagittarons, using the disease and their resistance to conventional medical practices as a cover for his actions.

He is accused by a bereaved mother, Portia King, of killing her son, Willie King, after allegedly treating a disease that affected him. Willie King's death, as well as additional deaths of Sagittarons he is known to have directly interacted with, leads Captain Karl "Helo" Agathon to investigate him, despite resistance from Doctor Cottle, Colonel Tigh, and even Admiral William Adama.

Much to Cottle's chagrin, following the incident with Agathon in his office, he tests the blood samples from the deceased Sagittarons. Instead of the bittamucin that Robert lies about administering prior to their deaths, Cottle discovers cellular destruction and poison in the blood work. He is summarily arrested by marines, earning disdain from Tigh, Cottle, and Adama, as well as other crew members.

In total, Robert is responsible for the deaths of four additional Sagittaron patients, including a three-year old ^{(TRS: "The Woman King")}.

Notes

• "Doctor Robert" is also a song by The Beatles, which tells the tale of a less-than-ethical doctor who provides his "patients" with whatever controlled substances they may desire.
• In the script, Michael Robert is originally named "Micha Robert," but this was later changed, presumably for legal reasons.

Michael Rymer (born 1963) is a film director and writer. He is noted for setting the tone and direction for the entire Re-imagined Series in terms of how the show looks on film, namely due to his direction of both the Miniseries and various episodes for the series itself.

Biography

Rymer was born in Melbourne, Australia, but completed his studies in film at the University of Southern California, where his abilities in writing, producing and directing short films earned him the Warner Communications Scholarship for Directing in 1987. Following this, he wrote two plays, Darkness at Noon and Ensenada before he returned to Australia to work on a number of films, initially as a production co-ordinator and as a writer. He made his directorial debut in 1995's "Angel Baby," which premiered at Robert Redford's Sundance Film Festival, and won a total of seven Australian Film Institute Awards including Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenplay. Rymer also won the Australian Film Critics Circle Award for Best Director, and the Writers' Guild of America award for Best Original Screenplay.

In 1997, he returned to the United States, where he wrote and directed "Allie and Me," following it up with two directorial stints with "In Too Deep" (1999) and the less-than-stellar "Purfume" (2001), described as an improvisational film.

In 2002 he helmed "Queen of the Damned," the sequel to 1994's "Interview with the Vampire" before taking the director's chair for the pilot episode of UPN's television series, "Haunted". From here he moved onto the 2003 Battlestar Galactica production.

Rymer and Batttlestar Galactica

A self-confessed science-fiction fan, Rymer was not given to watching the Original Series, and didn't make a point of viewing it when he took the assignment, noting:

"The thing that pulled me in was the script. I had just had a very intense year working on my first big - budget studio film, which was Queen of the Damned, and after that I told my agent and manager, 'I just want to do a character piece, with people talking in rooms. I don't want to do anything with special effects or big set - pieces.' So the next script I get is Battlestar Galactica [the Miniseries], and I just said to them, 'What are you thinking?' But they told me to read it, I agreed and I just couldn't put the script down. I loved the characters and the realism of the piece, and I just said, 'OK, once more unto the breach!'"

Such was his enthusiasm for the new series that he worked closely with writer/producer Ronald D. Moore and Emile Smith of Zoic Studios on pre-visualization for the Miniseries, setting out much of what has become the show's visual and vital style.

Given his intimate involvement with the Miniseries, Rymer was a natural choice to helm the opening episode of the first season, "33," and to handle both parts of the season's climactic episode, "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I & II," as well as the Season 2 opening episodes "Scattered" and "Valley of Darkness". Rymer also directed many other pivotal episodes of the series, such as "Pegasus," "Resurrection Ship, Part I & II," "Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I & II" and "Crossroads, Part I & II".

His extended work on the series and his work with Ron Moore and David Eick has earned him a producer credit for the show from Season Three onward.

Michael Taylor is a television writer and producer. He joined the writing staff and production team of the Re-imagined Series in Season 3. He joined the series as a supervising producer and was promoted to a co-executive producer for the fourth season.

He was previously best known for his work on two series in the Star Trek franchise, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. His DS9 credits include acclaimed episode "The Visitor," as well as "In the Pale Moonlight," which was controversial for challenging some of Star Trek's utopian ideas.

Taylor also worked as a producer and writer on the USA Channel series The Dead Zone.

Taylor joined Battlestar Galactica creator Ronald D. Moore on Virtuality, a two-hour backdoor SF pilot for Fox. The potential series would have dealt with the 10-year journey of a 12-member crew aboard the starship Phaeton to explore a far away solar system. The Phaeton will be equipped with virtual reality modules that will keep the minds of the astronauts active, and will allow them to undertake virtual adventures. Moore and Taylor wrote the teleplay and executive-produce along with Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun.

Awards and Honors

Before the present separation of “Long and Short Form” at the Hugo Awards, which was changed in an attempt to honor both Television and Theatrical presentations, Michael Taylor earned his first Hugo nomination in 1996 for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “The Visitor.” In 2002, Taylor was nominated for a Nebula Award, for writing the Dead Zone episode "Unreasonable Doubt" , and he was nominated again in 2007 for his work on the Battlestar Galactica episode "Unfinished Business". Taylor was a 2008 nominee for the Hugo Award for "Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form)" for the television movie "Razor".

Michael Trucco (born Edward Michael Trucco on June 22, 1970) is a native of San Mateo, California. He attended Junipero Serra High School, and is the son of a police officer. He was interested in being a cop himself, until his college days, when he was attracted to theatrical performance. He took a theatre course for non-majors while he was studying Criminal Justice, but did so well that he was asked to consider changing majors. He changed majors and completed his BA in Theatre Arts at the University of Santa Clara.

Trucco became active in television in the late 1990's with appearances in episodes of popular series including Touched by An Angel, Silk Stalkings, Beverly Hills: 90210, Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, Sabrina: The Teenage Witch, and Pensacola: Wings of Gold among others. He continued appearing in shows of similar genres like CSI, Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled, Heartbeart, Strong Medicine, CSI: Miami, and others into the 2000's. His latest TV efforts consist of several episodes as "Cooper Lee" in One Tree Hill, and of course his current role as Samuel Anders on Battlestar Galactica (2003).

He is also the lead guitarist of the band "Simpleworld".

In December of 2007, Trucco was involved in a motor vehicle accident. He broke his neck, but managed a full recovery from an injury that most likely should have resulted in paralysis or death. As his injury occurred during the WGA strike, he was fortunate to be able to recover before production resumed. "I didn't want BSG to have to rewrite Anders as a sniveling, whining ball of despair who's hiding out in the corner." Trucco now has a distinctive scar on the back of his neck. "I've been told they want to incorporate [it] into BSG--but that's all I'm allowed to say."
