Guest Mrthumps Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Why is he doing this when he could be showing up on BSG? Heck, wouldn't it rock if he was casted as one of the "Final 5"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 You mean people that truly test the word celebrity, I assume. And WOW - I saw him on the Channel 4 "Bring Back The A-Team" where they affected a fairly impromptu reunion of the cast (except Hannibal - dead, and Mr. T - busy) I thought this was about how my lady love bears a striking resemblance to - the new - starbuck when she smiles... no more can be said, without gushing.

Ulysses Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 it actually would be nice seeing dirk back on BSG, his did make his character boomer quite intresting, the gambler, womeniser and quite one of the highlights of the orginal show (was certainly more intresting than the orginal apollo). Strange I thought he actually died but great seeing him still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah, I thought he died in the early 90s but I guess he got better... he sure as hell is showing his age though (much like the ACTUAL Apollo)... I guess they didn't have radiation shielding on their ships. I suppose he could do a cameo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 IMDB: Dirk Benedict was born in Montana on March 1st, 1945. That makes him 61 years old currently. Time passes. IMDB: Richard Hatch was born in Santa Monica, California, USA, on May 21, 1945. 61 also. No spring chicken either. For 61, they both have held up fairly well considering the life of people in Hollywood. ;) Dirk Benedict: (On the new Battlestar Galactica's Starbuck) People kept asking me about Starbuck being a girl and I finally wrote what I thought for a British magazine called Dreamwatch. It was called Starbuck: Lost In Castration, and a lot of people got really angry -- 'this chauvinist pig, this angry bitter old actor, how dare he?' It was about why you can't have a character like Starbuck in a show today -- a cigar-smoking, drinking, womanizing lovable scoundrel. The feminist movement got rid of those guys. In the war against masculinity, the only way that character could work was to make him a woman. Oh well, maybe no one will kill him on the UK show. That drunk Tower of London guy sounds crazy. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 To be honest, the new starbuck is now way as good as the orginal, and its nowt to do with the fact she is a women!! I just dont really like the new version of starbuck thats all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raven3x7 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Well instead of trying to revive his career by trying to get a role in the new and quite successful BSG show... ??? @neomaster i dont see how you can compare the two characters. Besides the name and a few superficial traits they are very different. The way i see it the new show is merely inspired by the old one and is not directly related to it. Any comparisons really dont do either show justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiggy Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 There was a wasted opportunity in the episode Hero to bring Dirk back as an old fighter ace to rival Thrace. Where the hell did Bulldog disappear too at the end of Hero anyway? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
