Jack Archer

Jack Archer is a security guard manning the security desk in the AR building lobby at the Pacific Institute of Technology. 
Troy and Dillon encounter him when they try to meet Dr. Donald Mortinson for the first time. As he reviews a clipboard to check their names against a list, Troy stuns him, permitting the two Warriors to find Mortinson's room on a nearby chart and their subsequent entry to Mortinson's office at room 323.
After recovering from the stun, he calls Mortinson's office and talks to Dorothy Carlyle, who covertly informs him that the Warriors (believed to be protesters who mean to harm Mortinson) are in the office. He assures her that security is on the way, instructing her to get far away from the door and to keep them there on the false promise that Mortinson is on his way back .
== Notes ==
* The name "Jack" is derived from the dialogue between him and Dorothy Carlyle, when he instructs her to say "Good morning, Jack" should the two intruders (Troy and Dillon) be in the room with her. It is assumed that the first and natural thing that would come to mind would be his first name. 
* The last name of "Archer" is taken directly from his name tag, which is clearly legible when he is seated at his desk after Troy stuns him.
* Archer holds the distinction of being the first Earthling to be stunned by Troy.
* In the Galactica Discovers Earth novelization, this character's dialgoue is delivered by a man named Scott Miles.

Jack Ging

Jack Ging (born October 30, 1931―September 9, 2022) portrayed Captain Bannister in the Galactica 1980 episode "The Super Scouts, Part I".
Ging enjoyed a rather fruitful career as a television actor from the late 1950s to the early 1990s before retiring in California with his wife "Apache" in 1994. During that time, he worked in over 100 productions, mostly for television, including many of the western genre television shows produced in the 1960s. His success as a supporting character transfered to the big screen and he became a minor player in the boom of Hollywood westerns in the late 1960s and early 1970s, usually in supporting roles opposite Clint Eastwood.
Ging also starred in a small handful of minor independent and exploitation films in the 1960s and early 1970s, such as Intimacy, Die, Sister Die! and Sniper's Ridge. In 1973, he co-starred opposite Battlestar Galactica alumnus Dirk Benedict in the hippie exploitation film SSSSSSS.
Ging's career on television would become what he was most remembered for, especially in his portrayal of the role of General "Bull" Fullbright on The A-Team. Ging's character held the distinction of being the only principle character on The A-Team to be killed (on a mission to Vietnam to save his daughter) This information comes from a biography written on IMDb. The information in the biography is uncited, and therefore should be treated with skepticism.. In addition to the The A-Team and Galactica 1980 Ging acted in supporting roles in three different episodes of Perry Mason (as three different characters) and in other cult shows on the era such as The Mod Squad, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Hawaii Five-O, Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman.

Jack Nordstrom

In the novelization of the Miniseries, the character known only as "Jack" on screen, who speaks by wireless with Laura Roslin (aboard Colonial Heavy 798) is given a full name: Jack Nordstrom.
In an early draft of the miniseries, Jack is apparently another secretary in the Colonial government.
== Notes ==
*The novelization of the Miniseries has other marked differences from the aired or sourced content of the series, such as Natasi and Jane Cally. As a result, these differences makes the novelization a separate continuity from the Re-imagined Series canon.

Jack Sydell

Colonel Jack Sydell is an officer with the United States Air Force charged with tracking down sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (colloquially called "UFOs"It should be noted that alien craft are not, by definition, Unidentified Flying Objects. Although popular culture and genre productions have used the term erroneously to describe craft from alien worlds.) as part of Air Force Special Detachment One.
Sydell is first on to Troy and Dillon's trail when Shuttle Alpha has a near miss with a commercial jumbo-jet, Flight 427. He investigates where it landed, questioning the newly arrived Warriors and the Super Scouts . Once it is found out that the Super Scouts are a fake scout troop, he believes them to be part of the extraterrestrial phenomenon and is adamant about capturing them. However, he is outfoxed, which angers him and only makes him more resolved .
Later, he manages to connect their association to Jamie Hamilton, and follows her down to Billy Eheres' baseball camp, wanting to witness first hand that the children were otherworldly. Due to his presence, Hamilton tells the Super Scouts to lose the game, but when it is revealed that Lieutenant Nash is actually Xaviar, she tells them to use their abilities to win the game. After this, he tries to arrest her, Xaviar and the children, but is thwarted by Xaviar and by the timely arrival of Dillon and Troy. In Troy and Dillon's pursuit of Xaviar, Xaviar shoots Sydell, thus allowing him to escape the Warriors who go to the aid of their Earthly pursuer .
Following detection of an unidentified craft that subsequently crash lands outside of New York City, Colonel Briggs assumes Sydell's role and believes that Troy and Dillon are somehow involved. In a conversation with the New York City police chief, Briggs notes that SydellBriggs does not mention him by name, but this is inferred due to the content of his comments. is still alive, but is in a form of coma .
== Notes ==
*Sydell is the pathetic kind of character known as "the hapless pursuer." His pursuit always lacks any real sense of drama, because if he were to ever succeed in apprehending his quarry then the series would come to an end.
* Sydell's zeal for investigating Troy and Dillon, and in spacecraft in general, stems from an experience he has during a flight in a fighter craft. In this experience, he pursues an unidentified target that turns towards him.Script for "The Super Scouts, Part II", p. 41

Jackson Spencer

Major Jackson "Dipper" Spencer is the CAG aboard just before her scheduled decommissioning and conversion into a museum. He is a liked and respected officer who mixes easily with his pilots. Off-duty he enjoys joining his pilots in a card game, while on-duty he takes his work very seriously and treats his pilots with a firm but fair hand.
== Decommissioning Galactica ==
In the final days of Galactica's decommissioning preparations, Spencer enjoys a cigar while playing a game of triad with Colonel Saul Tigh and Lieutenants , Kara Thrace, and Sharon Valerii. During the game, Thrace and Tigh trade barbs, with Thrace broaching the topic of Tigh's estranged wife; after Thrace wins the game by having full colors, Tigh flips their table over to assault Thrace and is held back by Spencer before the brawl could escalate, but Tigh orders Thrace be thrown in the brig.
During the decommissioning ceremonies for Galactica, Spencer plays second fiddle to Captain , allowing the younger man to fly the newly-restored Viper Mark II N7242C—the vehicle flown by Lee's father, then-Lieutenant William Adama during the First Cylon War.
Following the decommissioning ceremony, Spencer leads his squadron—the last fully-operational squadron on Galactica with Viper Mark VIIs—to , presumably for later reassignment within the Colonial Fleet. While en route, the Cylons launch their surprise attack on the Twelve Colonies.
Alerted to the attack by Galactica, Spencer locates two Cylon Raider fighters and, after ordering the accompanying Raptor 312 reconnaissance vehicle away from the combat zone, orders his squadron to weapons free to intercept and destroy the Raiders. As the targets approach, all Vipers in Spencer's squadron suffer simultaneous and complete system failures as the Cylons infiltrate their onboard computers using the backdoor programming of the Command Navigation Program upgrade.
The impotent squadron is quickly destroyed by missiles deployed by the two Raiders, with Spencer among the first to be killed .
Thrace later recites his callsign along with other fallen pilots in her dedication during a toast celebrating the death of the ace Cylon Raider, Scar, by Louanne "Kat" Katraine .

== Notes ==
* In their DVD commentary of the Miniseries, producers Ron Moore, David Eick and director Michael Rymer note they were very impressed with actor John Mann's performance as Major Spencer. They were disappointed in killing off his character, jokingly wishing to bring him back as his character's "twin brother" because they enjoyed working with him so much. Mann eventually returned for "Black Market," but all his character's scenes were cut from the episode.

Jaffe expedition

The Jafee expedition is a rival group from Cincinatti who Professor Johnson and his financial aide, Williams, believe to be close to discovering Cleopatra's tomb. 
Upon discovering that a woman (who happens to be Cleopatra herself) can read the ancient scrolls on display at the Museum of History, which they believe contains the location of the tomb, Williams brings her along to a party he's holding at his house to raise funds for another expedition into Egypt. However, during this, he discovers that Dillon is after her, has him detained and Williams decides to bring her to the party, believing that Dillon himself is a member from the Jaffe expedition who is after Cleopatra for the purposes of finding the tomb, which isn't the case (The Day They Kidnapped Cleopatra, unproduced script).

Jake (New Caprica)

Jake is a dog residing in the fleet of survivors escaping the fall of the Twelve Colonies and on New Caprica. During the Cylon occupation of New Caprica, his yellow food bowl serves as an indicator flag for a New Caprica Resistance dead drop. When this bowl is flipped over, an inside source within the puppet administration of President Gaius Baltar notifies the Resistance of important information to be used to aid the group . 
Jake is also known to a copy of Number Three, who is pleased with the fact that Jake does not care who is human and who is Cylon .
Jake's involvement with the resistance is known to President , who calls him a hero of New Caprica. As his previous owners could no longer care for the dog, Adama gifts Jake to Romo Lampkin after he discovers that Lampkin's cat, Lance, died weeks earlier . 
Jake is seen being walked by Lampkin aboard Galactica when Adama appoints him President of the Colonies . He presumably leaves Galactica with Lampkin and settles with him on New Earth, although he is not with Lampkin when the surviving humans move out to their new homes .
==Notes==
* Jake is not the only living animal from the Colonies appearing in the Re-imagined Series to date. Rats and bats are seen on Caprica. For more on other life forms mentioned in the series, see Life Forms of the Twelve Colonies.
* The dog used to portray Jake in Season 3's New Caprica arc is a Landseer Newfoundland. Newfoundlands are known for their general lack of aggressive tendencies, and an instinctive ability to perform water rescues. However, a different breed of dog is used to portray Jake in Season 4's "Sine Qua Non".
* Jake is named after Ron Moore's Australian Shepherd.
* According to actor Mark Sheppard, who plays Romo Lampkin, Jake is the ancestor of all modern dogs.

James (1980)

Sergeant James is the police officer who books Dillon after his arrest and encounters difficulties with booking them due to Dillon's lack of cooperation in terms of relinquishing personal information.
After Dorbin notifies him that Troy (or Dillon for that matter) do not have fingerprints, he makes some very sarcastic comments before getting a call from his boss. After getting off the phone, he tells the Warriors that some bigshots want to talk to them. 
He instructs Dorbin to throw them in the holding tank. A little while later, James answers the wails of a derelict name Moran, discovering that the two Warriors had somehow escaped. As it turns out, once James opens the door to the holding tank, the invisible Warriors push him in and escape the police station. As James doesn't know about the invisibility field technology, he blames Dorbin for pushing him into the holding tank .

James Callis

James Callis (born 1971) is an English-born actor who portrays Gaius Baltar in the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica.
Born in London, England, Callis studied English and Related Literature at the University of York (Derwent College), graduating with honours. After graduating in 1993, he gained a place at the renowned London Academy of Music & Dramatic Arts. He graduated from LAMDA in 1996 and has since appeared in various West End stage productions, as well as in film and on TV and radio.
Callis made his West End debut in Old Wicked Songs alongside Bob Hoskins in 1996, earning the London Critics' Circle's Jack Tinker Award for Most Promising Newcomer. He appeared at the Almeida Theatre in George Bernard Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma in 1998, and at the Soho Theatre in London last year in Peter Ackerman's Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight.
He broke into television in 1996 with a guest role on the British series Murder Most Horrid and with a recurring role in the ensemble of the long-running UK drama Soldier Soldier. Callis went on to a number of telefilms and miniseries, including The Scarlet Pimpernel (1999) and Jason and the Argonauts (2000). He played Bridget's pal Tom in the hit movie Bridget Jones's Diary (2001), reprising the role in the 2004 film Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. He co-wrote and co-directed the film Beginner's Luck (2001), in which he starred opposite Julie Delpy. He recently appeared as Menelaus in USA Network's miniseries Helen of Troy. 
Callis lives in London with his wife Neha, with whom he has one son. He plays the guitar and piano to performance level.
== In Battlestar Galactica ==
In his role as Doctor Gaius Baltar, Callis has carved himself a unique niche in television science-fiction. While his character is conceited, arrogant, aloof and with a sly streak of self-preservation that borders on cowardice, Callis also imbues him with a vulnerability and humanity.
Playing a man with two voices in his head cannot be easy (especially when one of them is in the very visible form of Tricia Helfer), but Callis carries off the role with remarkable aplomb, and brings considerable - and surprising - humor to the role as well.
Callis also brings his sense of humor to promotions related to the series. One of the first notable outtakes related to Galactica comes from a recording session for the Sci Fi Channel in which Callis—intentionally or not—pronounces the name of the series Baltarstar Galactica. Called up on this by the director, Callis replies, "I think they [the fans] will love it!"

James Daughton

James Daughton (born 27 June 1950) is an American actor who portrayed the younger CHiP that Troy and Dillon encounter in . His performance in that episode was uncredited, but he was identified through computer-aided facial recognition.
Born in Chula Vista, California, U.S.A., Daughton is best known as Greg Marmalard from National Lampoon's Animal House, whose portrayal of that character has been cited as the ultimate snobbish "old money," smarmy, entitled know-it-all in the American lexicon since that movie's debut in 1978.
Daughton's other credits include numerous productions spanning from the 1970s through the 1990s, notably guest starring roles in Night Gallery, Planet of the Apes (TV series), Happy Days, The Incredible Hulk, Fantasy Island, V, Mad About You, and Murder, She Wrote.

James McManus

James McManus is a journalist, formerly of the Caprica Times, now anchor host of the wireless broadcast show The Colonial Gang.
 
No fan of Laura Roslin, McManus tends to be harsh in his criticism of her, her policies and her staff. Whether this is a reflection of his real feelings towards her, or whether his is simply playing to the audience is unclear .
McManus moderates the presidential election debates between President Laura Roslin and Vice President Gaius Baltar . He also announces the voting results of each ship during the Roslin vs. Baltar presidential election . 
McManus later discusses the state of the civilian government with Vice President Tom Zarek following the apparent abduction of Roslin and half of air wing by the rebel Cylon basestar, where Zarek blatantly points out that the government since the attack is run by fiat . 
His fate in the aftermath of Gaeta's Mutiny and the later Battle of The Colony are unspecified. 
== Notes ==
* On modern-day Earth, the announcement of election results is a job usually reserved to senior news anchorpersons, which leads to the assumption that McManus is the most reputable news journalist within the Fleet. 
* His colony of origin is noted on his visitor guest pass from his visit aboard Cloud 9 in "Colonial Day."
