Are there any actors who appear in both versions of Battlestar Galactica?

Question

I'm looking to find out if any of the actors from the 1970's Battlestar Galactica appeared as guest stars in the 2005-2009 Series?

I've compared the IMDB list as best i can, and done some searching and didn't find any prior questions.

PS. IMDB has this "Common collaborators" search feature. imdb.com/search/name?roles=tt0407362,tt0076984 — mike3996, Jan 31, 2019 at 18:33

Richard Hatch played Apollo in the 1978 series, then played Tom Zarek, the political activist, in the 2004 series.

I think for "political activist", what you meant to say was "convicted terrorist" :)

I think when you said "convicted terrorist", what you meant to say was "vice president" ;P

What I wanted was to avoid adding any ‘weight ‘ to the politics ;)

Hatch had long lobbied for a revival of the original Battlestar Galactica series, even putting together a "Second Coming" trailer in 1999. But the Ron Moore series was essentially disconnected from Hatch's efforts. It was nice to see Hatch get a juicy bit in the re-imagined series.
