Hatch's first venture into TV acting was on the long-running soap opera All My Children, while he made appearances on a wide range of classic TV shows, including Hawaii Five-O, The Love Boatand Dynasty. He landed the Battlestar Galactica role in 1978.
While he starred in some smaller film releases, it seems that Battlestar Galacticaalways held a special place in Hatch's heart. Throughout the 1990s, he wrote several novels based on the TV series and tried pitching for sequels to film execs for at least seven years -- an experience that left him feeling "exhausted and sick," as he told Sci-Fi Pulsein 2004.

Eventually, the idea of a Battlestar Galacticaremake -- not sequel -- would come to fruition during the early 2000s. While it wasn't the original idea Hatch had pitched, he came around after hearing more about it from screenwriter Ron Moore.
And with that, he would land a role on the same show he starred in two decades before.
“As Ron talked about the part, it didn’t take long for me to see that this was a role that I would love to play," he told Sci-Fi Pulse. "In a sense, I had been playing that role all my life, of fighting for the common person and helping people feel more empowered."
