I don't know if you saw the BSG Lowdown special, but Dirk was in it, and he didn't look in too good of a shape. I don't know if he has any health issues, but he sure did look sickly in that special. He's no longer The Face, that's for sure. Hopefully in the year or so since that was filmed, he has fared better and looks better.

Dirk Benedict probably looks terrible (I don't know for certain as I haven't seen a picture of him for years, except a b-grade tv movie once) because he uses a special diet. I can't say for certain that it is the same one, but he follows one of those diets like eating nothing and only drinking water for 3 weeks. He once had colon cancer and he swears the special diet got rid of it.

Actually he still looks like Dirk.

A bit older, but still like Dirk.

I do hope they find a guest spot for him. Perhas as the Lead cyclon design, Cyclon human model 001. Oh that would be a real gas.

I agree. He looks very much as he did when he was younger.

Dirk did a lot of promo work for the new BSG and appeared in the making-of special scifi had for the miniseries. He's aged a lot better than Hatch.

I must have watched a different making-of special, because the one I saw Dirk didn't look like Dirk. Of the two, I say Hatch looked better, although he looks more rugged.

I'm liking this show. It's more realistic and military oriented than the original. Also, it keeps you in suspense. and the religious overtures are missing. The only thing I can't figure out right now is why they're keeping "Helo" alive. Is it just for experimental purposes, or is something more sinister afoot? Maybe they're observing him so they can make another Cylon model. Can't wait to find out.

Yeah, otherwise you've just got a bunch of people on some ships.
