Aaron Douglas

Aaron Douglas (born August 23, 1971) is a Canadian actor. He is best known for his role as Galen Tyrol on the Sci Fi Channel’s television program Battlestar Galactica.

Known universally as Chief, Tyrol’s gruff manner seemed appropriate for a flight deck chief with an unsurpassed knowledge of Vipers and other craft. Both secretive and rebellious, Tyrol gave up an early flirtation with Sharon and became involved with Cally, one of the technicians on his team. On New Caprica Tyrol, now married to Cally and with an infant son, organized the civilian workers to improve conditions, later doing the same aboard a critical mining ship. Tyrol, already depressed over his marriage and his lack of connection with his son (who seemed to cry all the time), reacted very badly to finding out he was a Cylon. Becoming increasingly erratic, Tyrol forced a barroom confrontation with Adama that led to a brusque demotion.

Callum Keith Rennie

Callum Keith Rennie (born 14 September 1960) is a British-born Canadian television and film actor. He became widely known for his portrayal of the Cylon Leoben Conoy in Battlestar Galactica.

Leoben is the most philosophical of the Cylons, and has a disconcerting ability to force one to question one’s assumptions. Early on Commander Adama was forced to spend time in Leoben’s company and he became especially leery of this model and his inquisitive nature. Leoben has an obsession with Kara Thrace, sensing at some level her central role in the future of both their races, and has appeared on several occasions to challenge and guide her. While on occasion these encounters have been benevolent, she has not forgotten his imprisonment of her during the occupation, during which he forced her to live with him as a couple and attempted to gain her love, despite her constant (successful) efforts to kill him.

Dean Stockwell

Dean Stockwell (born Robert Dean Stockwell, March 5, 1936) is an American actor of film and television, with a career spanning over 65 years.

More recently he became widely known for television roles, playing Brother Cavil in the Sci Fi Channel 21st century revival of Battlestar Galactica.

Cavil first appeared as a member of the ministry whose counseling Tyrol sought after a series of nightmares made him wonder if he was a Cylon. (Cavil responded, apparently joking, that Tyrol couldn’t be a Cylon because he was one and he hadn’t seen him at any of the meetings.) Cavil’s distinctive capacity for dry humor does nothing to blunt his model’s ruthlessness. During the occupation of New Caprica he argued for culling the human population; he put all of the Threes into storage in punishment for seeking the knowledge of the Final Five; and he sought to destroy the rebel Cylons led by the Sixes rather than allow the Cylons’ destiny to be compromised.
