within the past ten years

<_Cassie> Hi Ron :)
<RandyJJ> Ron says he is intereseted in taking part in the revival...
<Warrior3> howdy ron
<CmdrApollo> Damm the Bears failed to score
<Warrior3> fromVirginia
<RandyJJ> No, it was not difficult playing the character.... it was 
great fun...
*** RandyJJ is now known as Ron
<Warrior3> Tell him Reese makes a good character to add to our storie
<DanaM> Cassie: What's the URL for the BG Reunion page?
<Warrior3> stories
*** Ron is now known as Ron_Kelly
<Warrior3> Hi Ron_Kelly
<DanaM> Hi, Ron!
<CmdrApollo> Hi Ron
<LtSheba> Yes Katie uses Reese as a punch bag...:)
<_Cassie> It's on the topic, Dana
<DanaM> AHA! Thanks, Cassie!
<Ron_Kelly> How do you like the character of Reese?
<Warrior3> What do you think of the Reese character?
<_Cassie> Randy can you give me Op?
<Warrior3> I don't think you really want to know
<LtSheba> I'm laughing at you too asking the same question to each 
other.  Katie is very vocal about Reese.
<AliventiAsylum> did you ever make up your own background for Reese to 
figure out what makes him tick?
<Warrior3> I need a villian in my story
<Ron_Kelly> Reese is .... one of the good guys, but coming at thngs from 
a different direction.... he is like a typical rent-a-cop who was given 
a badge and authority and it went to his head....
<Warrior3> that's how I have him,
<Warrior3> sort of
<_Cassie> That fits him. :)
<CmdrApollo> That is how I see him
<Ron_Kelly> He doesn't buy into the adulation of Apollo and 
Starbuck..... and in fact, he considers them a pair of undisciplined 
twerps!
<LtSheba> Yep sounds just about right!
<DanaM> Yeah, it sure does.
<Sygnas> How do you see your character developing in the new series, 
if/when it is brought back?
<Warrior3> ale try again
<LtSheba> No it's me.
<Sygnas> lol      "Ron"    twerps!
<AliventiAsylum> probably in charge of fleet "security" - watch for 
shoplifters on the agro ships
<LtSheba> I'm trying...
<Ron_Kelly> He would probably continue to be the same putz that he has 
been....
<LtSheba> lol!
<Sygnas> brb
<AliventiAsylum> have you been doing any other work
<Ron_Kelly> I got out of the business 16 years ago, and I'm presently in 
TV news, working for an NBC affiliate in Bakersfield, CA  as a TV news 
reporter and anchor.
<Warrior3> Could Reese be a sort of misundersood villian/putz
<LtSheba> Do you enjoy the work?
<Warrior3> the man with the news
<Ron_Kelly> Yes, Reese could be misunderstood....
<Ron_Kelly> But you seem to see him pretty clearly......
<Warrior3> good your in my next story, well reese is
<CmdrApollo> Reese is probaly the misunderstood character
<Ron_Kelly> Yes, I enjoy the work.... it's a steady job at least.....
<_Cassie> Did you imagine that after 20 years of playing a small part in 
a 1 season show, you'd still be known about it? ;)
<Jennab5> Ron Kelly! Greetings from Houston, Tx.
<_Cassie> WB Ale
<CaptSheba> Hi all!
<Ron_Kelly> I never expected this, it just knocks me out...
<LtSheba> WB Ale!
<AliventiAsylum> maybe they could tie your news job in & have Reese be a 
reporter
<_Cassie> We're chatting with Ron "Reese" Kelly :)
* LtSheba is glad the boss is back!
<Ron_Kelly> This just kills me, I never had a clue hat people would know 
who I was after this time....
<Ron_Kelly> LOL about being a reporter! ;-)
<_Cassie> Hi there:)

<guestguest> Great--Hi Ron!!
<Jennab5> hehe, Reese a reporter?
* CaptSheba salutes her favourite Lt
<LtSheba> :)
<CaptSheba> Ron, we remember you *very* well:)
<_Cassie> That would annoy Zara, competition ;)
<LtSheba> Are their simularities about being on a reporter and being an 
actor?  Do you get stagefright?
<Ron_Kelly> The only similarity between the two is being able to talk on 
camera without being nervous... there is no stage fright now....
<LtSheba> That's good!
<Sygnas> I am back now
<LtSheba> How did you come to be a reporter after acting?
<Jennab5> wb, Joe
<LtSheba> WB Joe!
<Ron_Kelly> Long story.......
<_Cassie> wb Joe
<Ron_Kelly> takes to long to tell..... my ex-wife wanted me to get out 
of the business and into something more stable....
<Sygnas> Hey Ron! don't worry you are not really missing much back here 
in omaha, the city council has the city pretty messed up     lol
<Ron_Kelly> All city councils are like that, where ever you are!
<CmdrApollo> Including the Council of 12
