Dirk Benedict was born in Montana on March 1st, 1945. It still will never have the appeal of the old series. So, here we have Dirk Benedict, who played Lt. Starbuck in the classic Battlestar Galactica, with Katee Sackhoff, who played Kara “Starbuck” Thrace in the modern Battlestar Galactica, in a Starbucks | Built by He also prefers the laughably simplistic idea of ‘good guys’ vs ‘bad guys’, and the idea that the aliens are just out to destroy for the hell of it. Orphaned at a very young age in the Cylon attack on Umbra, a small agro community on Caprica at the edge of the thorn forest in yahren 7322, Starbuck never knew his parents.
