Bradley Thompson

Hugh Bradley Thompson, Jr. , usually credited as Bradley Thompson, is a writer of several episodes. In all of the episodes he was involved in, he always wrote with his writing partner David Weddle. He appears in the background of the scene set in Vic's lounge in the seventh season episode as a holographic guest.
Weddle was brought in on the writing staff of Deep Space Nine in the wake of his friend Weddle being offered the position by show-runner Ira Steven Behr as a result of their shared passion for renowned director . A self-admitted "shameless opportunist", Weddle made use of the opportunity to secure the same position for his friend as well. 
Thompson was to write a Deep Space Nine relaunch entitled Walking Wounded. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned in 2005. The novel was to focus on veterans of the Dominion War and how they adjusted to normal life again and attempted to come to terms with their experiences.
== Career ==
Thompson met his lifelong friend and writing partner Weddle while, "(...)in an acting class and we discovered we were both at . It was the same acting class that frequented. Richard was doing the original Battlestar Galactica at that time, and everybody in class was in awe -- he was a WORKING ACTOR! And all the class ladies would go to parties and watch him when the show came on. Of course, while they were adoring him, they were ignoring me, so I didn't like the show very much. But they would have ignored me anyway, so I guess I wasn't giving the show a fair shake." 
Upon conclusion of the series, Thompson, together with partner Weddle, joined former Deep Space Nine colleague Ronald D. Moore as writer, executive story editor and co-producer on the latter's re-imagined Battlestar Galactica franchise – in which incidentally, the by Thompson initially much envied Hatch was featured as a recurring character.
Since the end of Battlestar Galactica, Thompson has written episodes of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Falling Skies, Defiance, The Strain and For All Mankind, invariably in conjunction with partner Weddle. Their collaboration on Defiance reunited the pair again with former Deep Space Nine production staffers Gary Hutzel and Doug Drexler (who incidentally, had also worked as production regulars on Battlestar Galactica), whereas the pair was reunited with Moore, Naren Shankar, Joe Menosky and the Okuda couple on For All Mankind.
