I remember him. He looked the stereotype of an ex-con,

Sad. Loved him as chain-smoking Doc Cottle on BSG.

I didn’t like ‘Soap’ or ‘BSG’ but I liked Donnelly Rhodes on ‘Sidestreet’ and ‘Da Vinci’s Inquest’. A good actor.
To: ConservativeStatement
Soap was hilarious stuff.
Mixed on the revamped BSG.
RIP Dutch.

He was the only one onboard that smoked. Musta had a cargo container full of cigs hidden away.
