Notes

  • The original choice for Starbuck was IMDB-person:Don Johnson, IMDB-person:Edward James Olmos's Miami Vice co-star. It was the intervention of Glen A. Larson that ultimately had Dirk Benedict cast; Johnson was too short for the role and didn't fit in to the cast as Larson envisioned.
  • The network (ABC) had ordered Galactica producers that if Benedict had smoked any more of the "small cigars" a.k.a. fumarellos he would be fired. They rapidly reversed the order as female admirers sent in many cigars to the studio and Benedict.
