A Call From Richard Hatch
Unbelievable. This afternoon I got some weird email saying to be sure my phone wasn’t blocking phone numbers because I would be getting a phone call from Richard Hatch. Eh what? Apparently there is a service where you can get certain celebrities to give personal calls for a variety of reasons including wishing the recipient a Happy Holidays.
Not even an hour later I got the call. I got the initial awkward Hello out of the way and the happy holidays and Mr. Hatch was kind enough to talk a bit with me about Battlestar Galactica, his character Tom Zarek, and charity work. He was most personable and I was super surprised to get even five minutes out of him since I expect these calls probably only last a minute at most.
So a huge Thank You to Mr. Hatch and Deano, who couldn’t hide the fact that he arranged this.

That’s really cool.

At first, I thought you were referring to the guy from Survivor, and I thought “what a lame celeb for someone to have call you”. Very cool you got the one you did.

It’s kind of funny but for me there is only one Richard Hatch; I didn’t know about the Survivor guy until recently.
I was surprised at how happily geeked I felt afterwards. I thought it would be a totally dorky experience (and I’m sure a few people that are reading about this still think this) but it was really quite nice.

You’re preaching to the choir, and we know how poorly I sing.
Of course, I must admit, that is pretty cool, not because he called you, but rather he called anyone he wouldn’t know just because. Certainly he has other things to do. One might think it was a ploy to get ratings, but apparently (according to you guys) the show is doing phenomenally and doesn’t need gimmicks to help its ratings. So kudos to the people in charge of the show (if it was their idea — if not, then kudos to Richard Hatch…the real Apollo) for not falling into some trap of we’re better than everyone else so they should salute us.
Give me a call from one of the hot chicks telling me she’s naked in my bed, then I’ll start singing.
