Richard Hatch returns for his second appearance on `Sidewalks`

Born in Santa Monica, California, actor Richard Hatch is best known as Captain Apollo in the original sci-fi series, Battlestar Galactica.

Before Galactica, Richard replaced Michael Douglas' character as the new partner to Lt. Stone (Karl Malden) on the fifth (and final) season of The Streets of San Francisco.

Richard's other TV series and film roles include: All My Children, Santa Barbara, "The Ghost" and  "Deadman Curve." He has appeared in plays and musicals, including "P.S., Your Cat is Dead," "Pepper Street" and "The Name Game."

Additionally, Richard lectures and conducts workshops around the world on self-expression, communication, and acting.

He has authored several Battlestar Galactica books and was one of the leaders in starting a revival of the classic series, which, ultimately, went toward a "re-imagined" version on the Sci-Fi Channel instead of a continuation. Although his version never materialized, Richard joined the cast of the new series in the recurring role of Tom Zarek.

In the 2007 interview taped at WonderCon, Richard talks to host Rafael Siegel about the status of his "continuation" version of Battlestar Galactica and his own current sci-fi project, The Great War of Magellan.
