Battlestar Galactica is an American science fiction movie & television series, produced in 1978 by Glen Larson & starring Lorne Greene, Richard Hatch & Dirk Benedict. It was remade in 2003 by the Sci-Fi Channel with Edward James Olmos stepping into Lorne Greenes role of Commander Adama. A weekly series on Sci-Fi followed in January 2005. Battlestar Galactica was set in a distant part of the galaxy in an age described as the seventh millennium of time. Twelve colonies of humans had been fighting a thousand-year war against the android race of Cylons, who sought to exterminate all of humanity. The Cylons unexpectedly sued for peace, through the diplomatic channel of human councilor Baltar. In reality, though, Baltar had betrayed humanity for personal power & glory; Baltar had lulled into complacency the human fleet of military vessels, called battlestars, against a Cylon enemy with no true plans for peace.

Lorne Greene was a Canadian actor best known for two iconic roles on American television. Greene was born in Ottawa, Ontario & began acting while attending Queens University in Kingston, Ontario. He gave up on a career in chemical engineering & upon graduation found a job as a radio broadcaster for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He was assigned as the principal newscaster on the CBCs flagship news program, The National. The CBC gave him the nickname The Voice of Canada. However, constantly distressing war news following Canadas entry into World War II in 1939 caused many listeners to call him The Voice of Doom instead. Many Canadians who remember the World War II years can recall listening to Lorne Greene read the latest war news on the radio. The first of his American television roles was as family patriarch on the long-running series Bonanza. His portrayal of Ben Cartwright made Greene a household name. He received the role after having turned in a highly-regarded performance as Big Brother in a production of Nineteen Eighty-Four for the Columbia Broadcasting System. Posters Of Battlestar Galactica
