Veteran TV actor Lorne Greene brought a tremendous amount of gravitas to the role of Commander Adama, the leader of the Colonial Fleet on the original Battlestar Galactica.  The man always had to balance out the needs of family against the demands of leadership, and the program was vastly better when Mr. Greene was given ample time to command.  Though he's no longer with us, he was born on this day back in 1915.

I've never understood all of the hate for Tim Burton's Mars Attacks (1996); I thought it had just the right mix of farce and satire to make for some great SciFi laughs.  In any event, Joe Don Baker had a great supporting role as a redneck intent upon taking it to the Martians in the film, and Baker was born on this day in 1936.  [Source: IMDB.com]

Veteran character actor Richard Lynch ended up being shoehorned into an awful lot of evil roles throughout much of his career, but -- to be perfectly honest -- he was downright good at being evil!  Where have we seen him chewing scenery?  The Bionic Woman, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Galactica 1980, The Phoenix, Manimal, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and the Fantasy film October 32nd (1993) come to my mind just off the top of my head!  Though he's no longer with us, Lynch was born on this day in 1940.  [Source: IMDB.com]

Maud Adams is one of the only 'Bond Girls' to make appearances in not one but two of the Bond films: The Man With the Golden Gun and Octopussy.  As for SciFi, she had a role alongside James Caan in 1975's Rollerball.  Adams was born on this day in 1945.

Veteran character actor Michael Ironside has been around the sci-fi genre for oodles of years, and, even today, he continues to be one of the hardest working actors in this field.  I loved him as the scenery-chewing villain in Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, as well as his great turn as a mercenary for hire in the 1980's version of V.  He also had stand-out appearances in Total Recall (1990) as well as Terminator Salvation.  Ironside was born on this day in 1950.

Picture
I can remember fondly the work of Simon MacCorkindale.  He was the reason to have any familiarity with 1980's cult series Manimal.  He also had small roles in NightMan, Earth: Final Conflict, Queen of Swords, Relic Hunter, and even the motion picture Wing Commander.  Though he's no longer with us, MacCorkindale was born on this day in 1952.

He's also contributed voice-work to several Star Wars video game projects as well as the Mass Effect franchise. Sbarge was born on this day in 1964.

According to IMDB.com, Lochlyn Munro began his professional acting career as the 1980's were coming to a close, and he's been hard-at-work ever since.  I recently saw him in a low-budget remake of the Jules Verne classic Mysterious Island that was actually quite good (for a low-budget remake).  He's also appeared in The Girl From Mars, Trancers 4: Jack of Swords, Strange Luck, Sliders, Poltergeist: The Legacy, Welcome to Paradox, The Outer Limits, Stephen King's Dead Zone, Jake 2.0, Andromeda, Smallville, and much much more.  Munro was born on this day in 1966.

On this day in 1934 (in Hungary), The Invisible Man became visible ... cinematically, that is.  According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary for the Universal Monsters Universe movie classic:

"A scientist finds a way of becoming invisible, but in doing so, he becomes murderously insane."

Picture
On this day in 1945 (in Sweden), The Devil Bat swooped down into theaters.  According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary for the Horror/SciFi release:

"A mad scientist develops an aftershave lotion that causes his gigantic bats to kill anyone who wears it."

Picture
On this day in 1954 (in Austria), It Came From Outer Space crashed down into Earth theaters!  According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:

"A spaceship from another world crashes in the Arizona desert and only an amateur stargazer and a schoolteacher suspect alien influence when the local townsfolk begin to act strangely."

Picture
On this day in 1973 (per Wikipedia.org), The Creeping Flesh enjoyed its full U.S. theatrical release.  According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:

"A Victorian-age scientist returns to London with his paleontological bag-of-bones discovery from Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, when exposed to water, flesh returns to the bones unleashing a malevolent being on the scientist's family and friends."

A star is born!  SciFi films of the '70's tended to spend an awful lot of time exploring themes like rejecting conformity; an even greater number of films started to warn about how the encroaching technology would rob of us our individual identities.  As Exhibit A, I'll offer up The Stepford Wives, which premiered theatrically on this day in 1975.  This SciFi/Mystery was directed by Bryan Forbes as adapted from the Ira Levin novel by William Goldman.  It starred a host of lovely ladies, including Katharine Ross, Paual Prentiss, Tina Louise.  According to IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:

"Joanna Eberhart has come to the quaint little town of Stepford, Connecticut with her family, but soon discovers there lies a sinister truth in the all too perfect behavior of the female residents."

For the record:
Believe it or not, this franchise has gams -- as it were -- proving that nothing can keep a SciFi property down for all that long.  This original release led to Revenge Of The Stepford Wives (1980), The Stepford Children (1987), The Stepford Husbands (1996), and even the inevitable remake in 2004.  That's a none-too-shabby record, if you ask me.  At the 1976 Golden Scroll Awards sponsored by the Academy Of Science Fiction, Fantasy, And Horror Films, actress Katharine Ross took home top honors in the category of 'Best Actress' while the film itself missed out on the 'Best Science Fiction Film' trophy.

On this day in 1981 (in Madrid, Spain), Death Watch enjoyed a theatrical exhibition.  According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary for the SciFi/Drama:

Picture
A star is born!  On this day in 1981 (in Italy), Escape From Galaxy 3 (aka Starcrash 2) gave audiences another look at the wild life in the Final Frontier.  From a script written by John Thomas, Escape was apparently co-directed by Bitto Albertini and Luigi Cozzi.  The feature starred Sherry Buchanan and Don Powell, and here's the plot summary from IMDB.com:

"The crew of a space ship confronts an evil galactic ruler out to rule the universe."

For the record: I've not been able to locate much information on this particular release.  As director Cozzi was responsible for the first Starcrash, perhaps the studio hoped to capitalize on that film's "popularity" by promoting this as Starcrash 2?  Wikipedia.org reports that Escape rather gratuitously makes use of Starcrash's stock footage, so perhaps that's the only legitimate connection.

Picture
On this day in 1981 (in Peru), Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back delivered the Force back to theaters.  According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:

​"After a violent incident with a special chemical, a research scientist is turned into a swamp plant monster."

To the film's credit, Swamp Thing enjoyed a 1983 Saturn Award nomination in the category of 'Best Horror Film' from the Academy Of Science Fiction, Fantasy, And Horror Films.

On this day in 1988 (in Finland), Terminus enjoyed its run at the box office.  According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:

"In a sort of "Mad Max" futuristic adventure, an international sport has been established where a driver of a computerized truck must drive across country to an established terminus and not be stopped by other vehicles. The lead truck, called "Monster" has been created by a boy genius and is to be driven by a woman through the course. The only problem is the computer guidance system fails and she ends up in uncharted territories. There she encounters leather-clad hoods who torture her and eventually kill her. Before dying she tells a fellow prisoner about the truck and he uses it to escape.

Picture
For the record, there's nothing wrong with the RoboCop reboot.  It's a nifty little action picture set in a universe that was already very Robo-friendly; it's just that I didn't think it was anything all that necessary.  It kinda/sorta gives a contemporary spin on the Robo-origins, and everyone who starred in it did just fine.  It premiered theatrically on this day in 2014 ... and, as almost always happens, I still prefer the original.  Here's the plot summary from IMDB.com:

"In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy, a loving husband, father and good cop, is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer."
