Both Glen Larson and Richard Hatch have attempted for a number of years to get a revival of the series filmed, succeeding in 2004 with a show that quickly became known for its gritty, realistic drama as well as a faithful remake of the original series. Among the immediate changes in the new series were the names: “Apollo”, “Starbuck”, “Athena”, and “Boomer” - given names in the original series - were reduced to “call signs” similar to fighter pilots in the U.S. Military, and replaced with familiar surnames. British actor Jamie Bamber was cast as Captain Lee “Apollo” Adama; Katie Sackoff was given the role of Lieutenant Kara “Starbuck” Thrace ; and Grace Park was cast as Sharon “Boomer” Valerii. Leading the cast was Edward James Olmos, a veteran actor who was best known as the brooding police captain Castillo in ''Miami Vice'' during the 1980's.
