Word has reached me that actor Robert Feero, who played Bora, the Borellian Noman, in the BG eps The Man With Nine Lives and Baltar's Escape has passed on.

In later years he suffered from heart problems.

Here's an excellent interview with the actor from 2006:

sad loss

Hi all,

I just poped on to post this as well. I just spoke to Robert's brother who confirmed the news. Robert passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. He had emphysema for years and it finally caught up to him.

Robert was a very stoic man and held in there loving life until the end. I have nothing but fond memories of the time I spent with him. He was always entertaining and stubborn. God I love him.

Robert did not wish any services to be held and there will be no memorial. He also did not make any mention of charity to donate to in his name.

I can tell you that the man loved real fruit cake and a good Port wine. Having a small drink in his honor would be lovely.

Cheers and tears,
Diane

I've been really bummed about this all day. He really was a great person to be around. I was able to inform Herb Jefferson at a small convention today of Robert's passing. He had nothing but good things to say about the man.

Robert was a riot! He made a point of teaching me a few things on Galacticruise.

1. Always ask a lady to remove the band from your cigar...preferably with a compliment.
2. Certain cocktails should be considered "fresh fruit".
3. Never let anyone push you around for what you believe in, even if those people are your childhood heroes.

I'll think of him often with a smile. I'm glad that I got to spend a little time with the man.

That is brilliant. I could just imagine Robert having the most charming pick-up line to go with that.

Yes, I too have yet to be able to have a cocktail with juice or a fruit garnish and not comment about how I "have to get my fruit." This is a hard one to swallow. Robert was such a trip.

Another sad thing is that my husband is shooting a feature film right now and Robert was to act in an offscreen/voice only role. Robert was worried about the noise from his oxygen tank, which really would have only added to the part. We will now replace the actor but we will never be able to replace Robert.

I think one of the most descriptive things that I can say about Robert is that he could sure make a lady's eyes roll while sweeping her off of her feet. I am sure going to miss him.

Below is the picture he asked me to take "for his doctor."

Nope, the link worked for me.
