   Richard Hatch's problem is that he's simply not very talented, as an   
   actor, nor as a writer, nor as a director / producer. He's a one-bit   
   wonder who was lucky enough to be given the role of Apollo in the real   
   "Battlestar Galactica".   
      
   There are other simliar one-bit wonders who also keep trying to ressurect   
   their old shows - the actor who played Avon in the original "Blake's 7"   
   (no also undergoing a silly reboot, as well as an Americanisation, so   
   that'll be utter rubbish) and of course David Hasselhoff with Knight   
   Rider.
