"# In any role, he will never look someone in the eye unless his character respects them." This was mentioned in the directors commentary for the extended episode of "Pegasus", in the Battlestar Galactica sason 2.5 dvd set. Olmos appeared in "Aloha Bobby and Rose." 1975 Richard Soto-San Anto

[edit] Height and weight

Although I personally think the 5'1 is bogus, in any event it is irrelevant information for an encyclopedia so I deleted this whole line. 23skidoo 05:40, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photo....Why Battlestar Galactica?

I'm a huge Battlestar Galactica fan so came to Olmos' page to learn more about him. It seems bizarre, though, that the main photo of him is from BSG. Isn't there anyone who has a regular photo of him, one that wouldn't turn away most people with its sci-fi-ness? - Keithustus 03:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

A regular photo would be good to have, but in the meantime, at least the current photo is of his current role... And while the photo shows him in a BSG uniform, it's not as if there's anything too sc-fi about it. It looks more or less like it could be an ordinary modern uniform. If you can find a normal photo of him, great. If not, it's probably not a big deal. -- Fru1tbat 15:46, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Original name

[edit] His face

Anybody know what happened to his face? its all scarred up. user:wolfofwar acne

[edit] Picture

I was just wondering: What's with the picture of him walking around wearing US Air Force PT gear? Was he ever in the Air Force? And more importantly, what is some actor doing parading around in this getup? I mean, that is a required uniform for the Air Force, and we are constantly getting chewed out for not having them, because they are always out of them at clothing sales, and here's some Hollywood "I'm not a servicemember, but I play one on TV!" actor wearing the same uniform we can never find, and are constantly getting in trouble for not having! I just think it's a little messed up. SpudHawg948 10:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality

Surely he should be described as Mexican and not American - "In 2007, after a seven-year process, he obtained Mexican citizenship." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.154.226 (talk) 15:29, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted a changed regarding his nationality. The editor of this changes suggested that "just because he now has Mexican citizenship as well as US doesn't make him Mexican." Could someone explain the logic behind this statement? If he has taken Mexican citizen ship then he is Mexican. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.153.170.191 (talk) 16:44, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
