GODSPEED, TERRY CARTER

You were the original Colonel Tigh on the original Battlestar Galactica. That, in itself, grants you legendary status. 

And yet even without that galactic connection, you covered more than enough artistic ground to make audiences notice.

For instance, prior to Galactica, you graced another Glen A. Larson series, McCloud, playing the by-the-book Sgt. Joe Broadhurst to Dennis Weaver's titular namesake. 

Roles in Benji; Foxy Brown; Company of Killers; Nerosubianco (Attraction); Two on a Bench; and the horror hit, Abby, also flavor your career. 

For further distinction, you guest starred on The Six Million Dollar Man; The Fall Guy; The Highwayman; Falcon Crest; One West Waikiki; Julia; Mr. Belvedere; The Jeffersons; 227; Combat!; Dr. Kildare; The Bold Ones: The New Doctors; That Girl; Naked City; Mannix; Parrish; The Defenders; The Phil Silvers Show; First Person; For the People; Search; The Cop and the Kid; The Most Deadly Game; Bracken's World; Breaking Point; while gaining a high-profile, mid-1960s, newscaster stint, in addition to performing as director/producer of the celebrated bio, A Duke Named Ellington. 

You lived to a ripe, old age, Mr. Carter, and with age, acknowledgement of your contributions will only expand. Thanks for your creative longevity and with such, all the precious memories you instilled.
