Apollo, Tom Zareck, and I would have loved to have seen what he would have done as Kharn in "Axanar." He was great in the prelude.

Well that's a bummer.

I did a few days of shooting for the Second Coming trailer and would stop and chat with him at Cons.

I only met him once but we talked for twenty minutes. He was such a nice guy.

Awww, hell no! Jeez, I'm so sorry to see him go.
He'll always be Phil Brent to me!

Loved the original Galactica. Saddened by the news.

 

[mlsmithjr]

I wish he would have had better breaks. Galactica made a huge impression on me as a kid, and still does. I would like to have seen him more successful. Then again, maybe he found what he needed by his own definition.

Rest in Peace.

The one and only Apollo!

Wow lost another actor from a property I loved as a kid!

Did he and Dirk Benedict make up after all? I saw a tweet or something where he said he was devastated.

So so saddened to hear about his passing...he was a hero of mine from childhood. I feel lucky, fortunate and privileged to have met him in the past.

RIP Apollo...

When I was a kid... he was the coolest! I dreamed of piloting a Viper! Thank you for all you gave and may you rest in peace. You will be missed.

He will be missed
