In many respects, I tend to think that the deck was fundamentally stacked against any possible success for Galactica 1980. (It premiered on this day in 1980.) Gone were many of the familiar faces -- the action heroes audiences had grown to love with the inspired original like Apollo, Boomer, and Starbuck -- and the new faces were a bit too fresh and too clean to make any lasting impression. Even Commander Adama's presence was watered down by the inclusion of a new voice: an all-new kinda/sorta prophetic 'star child' called Dr. Zee. In fact, the only thing remotely 'cool' about the program were some Viper-themed flying motorcycles; and we just never saw enough of those. Thankfully, the program was short-lived with only ten episodes.
Within the greater Star Trek community, director Marc Daniels is a bit of a legend, having directed fifteen different episodes over the classic program's three seasons. After Trek's cancellation, he largely worked in properties more conventional, though he did also helm such items as Planet Earth (1974) and an episode of TV's Man From Atlantis. Though he's no longer with us, Daniels was born on this day in 1912. [Source: IMDB.com]

Troy Donahue dumped journalism in favor of acting when given the opportunity in interesting roles. To be honest, he didn't appear in many SciFi projects, but he did garner roles aboard The Monolith Monsters (1957), Monster Of The Campus (1958), Dr. Alien (1989), Omega Cop (1990), and Legion (1998). Though he's no longer with us, Donahue was born on this day in 1936. [Source: IMDB.com]
It's one thing to get a guest-starring role in Star Trek; but it's another thing to get the opportunity to play one of the program's mythic bigger-than-life figures. That's what veteran actor James Cromwell got to do in Star Trek: First Contact, long revered to be the best of the Star Trek: The Next Generation movies. (I just thought it was OK.) Cromwell played Zephram Cochrane, the man responsible for not only inventing warp drive but also -- in doing so -- setting Earth on a path toward inclusion within the greater galactic community. Cromwell was born on this day in 1940. [Source: IMDB.com]
The coolness of Peter Burrough's career knows no limits.

Confession time: I've always loved Mimi Rogers. Hers is an effortless beauty; and the fact that she has solid acting chops is only another plus. While I was disappointed with 1998's Lost In Space reboot, I'm never disappointed at the chance to watch Mimi do her thing. (Lost In Space was an affable enough reboot; it just never created the heat required to get a sequel, which could've been interesting.) She also scored a recurring role aboard Fox TV's popular The X-Files during its run. Rogers was born on this day in 1956. [Source: IMDB.com]
Comics scribe Frank Miller has been a part of so many graphic benchmarks that it's almost hard to imagine what comic books today would be like if he had explored some other career. He's also tinkered just a bit in the world of sci-fi movies, including the script for RoboCop 2. Miller was born on this day in 1957.
The lovely Susanna Thompson remains a joy to watch. She's enjoyed prominent roles as part of the CW's Arrow and NBC's Timeless and Trek fans might recall that she played the Borg Queen on Star Trek: Voyager as well. Thompson was born on this day in 1958. [Source: IMDB.com]

Though I was never much of a fan of Babylon 5, I've always agreed that its cast was arguably one of the most talented for a SciFi ensemble, and that includes the lovely Julie Caitlin Brown who appeared sporadically as Na'Toth on the show. The actress also had brief stints aboard Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Sliders. Brown was born on this day in 1961. [Source: IMDB.com]
Sadly, the lovely Bridget Fonda doesn't act much any longer (if IMDB.com is any indication), but kudos to her for the leading lady work in Snow Queen (2002). In fact, at present, the appearance in the afore-mentioned flick is her last. Fonda was born on this day in 1964. [Source: IMDB.com]
Alan Cumming joined the earlier X-Men universe in the role of Kurt Wagner aka Nightcrawler in X-Men 2 (2003). In 2018, he scored a guest visit to the world of TV's Doctor Who. Cumming was born on this day in 1965. [Source: IMDB.com]

Tomita was born on this day in 1966. [Source: IMDB.com]
Patton Oswalt's personal politics firmly put him as part of the Liberal/Progressive 'Hate America' crowd, but apparently he plays against type as a force for good on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Oswalt was born on this day in 1969. [Source: IMDB.com]

The lovely Brooke Butler went to the beach but all she found was that something was waiting for her under The Sand (2015). Butler was born on this day in 1989.
Young Braeden Lemasters continues to build fans based on his work in R.L Stine's Monsterville: The Cabinet of Souls (2015) and Hulu's 11.23.63. Lemasters was born on this day in 1996.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had more than its fair share of war stories. While there were many of them that were quite good, I have to admit that I thought they overdid the war themes quite a bit. In fact, one of my very favorite episodes in their entire run was this quieter, gentler episode that aired on this day in 1997. It's called "The Begotton," and it features Odo coming into possession of another Changeling -- essentially an infact -- and he's tasked with nursing the thing back to health. Things don't quite go as planned -- as was often the case aboard the station -- but the story had a very special ending that changed the Constable's life forever.
