This may be a case of imdb being behind on their casting updates or of a typo but check this out. if you look at the actors own bios it backs up the cast listing on this page. Odd to anyone else?

It gets even more interesting if you hit "more" Anyone know who Michael Joyce is? And there's a military tech advisor who's credits go back to a 1993 X-files.

Notice the names of various folks who worked on "X2" also? Interesting.

Kind of makes you wonder what's really going on over at Sci-Fi and Universal, doesn't it? As Michael has said, "The right hand doesn't always know what the left hand is doing." Sounds like Peninsula Services, the company I work for.

I for one find it satisfying that after the lack of research into military matters shown by RDM, that someone has actually employed a military adviser!

A lot of people who were in the armed forces and who joined the armed forces were Battlestar fans.
