Hatch got his start with the Los Angeles Repertory Theater as well as shows in Chicago and off Broadway before moving to the small screen, where he debuted in 1971 on “All My Children.”

His first major role came in “The Streets of San Francisco” as Inspector Dan Robbins in 1976, the final season of the detective show.

But his most famous part was Captain Apollo in the 1978 “Battlestar Galactica” TV show, a role for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe.

He was in a lot of retro TV shows before they were retro: Room 222, Hawaii 5-0, The Waltons, Cannon, Mary Hartman Mary Hartman, The Streets of San Francisco, Battlestar Galactica, CHiPs, Fantasy Island, Murder She Wrote, TJ Hooker, Dynasty, The Love Boat, MacGyver, and Baywatch.

I remember him on Streets of San Francisco. IIRC he became Karl Malden's partner after Michael Douglas left the show.

Damn, I'm really showing my age here.

Met him at a con a few years ago and asked him about Malden, just to be the guy who didn't ask another question about BG. He was very nice, and nice to my son who was with me.

Damn, a celeb death I actually care about.

[MahiMike]

I remember when he won the 1st Survivor.

Rude Comments in Prayer/Thoughts Threads:

Prayers/thoughts threads are not normal threads, and will be treated as such. Be respectful. If you don’t have anything positive to add, move on to another thread.

Anyway, time to binge BSG!
