Take a look at my other great items in my eBay store Doctor Zee was a recurring character in the short lived science fiction series Galactica 1980. The role of Doctor Zee was portrayed by two actors. In the first three hours of Galactica 1980, child actor Robbie Rist, known also as the Cousin Oliver in the Brady Bunch, played Zee. Rist appeared in Galactica Discovers Earth Parts 1 through 3. Later, when Galactica 1980 was picked up as a continuing series, another young actor named Patrick Stuart took on the role. Stuart appeared in the subsequent episodes including Superscouts parts 1 and 2, Spaceball, Space Croppers, The Night the Cylons Landed parts 1 and 2 and The Return of Starbuck. Doctor Zee is a child prodigy of about 12 years of age, and appears to be the most intelligent being in the fleet. He was born during the period of time between the time of the original Battlestar Galactica series, and when the Galactica found Earth - roughly around 1968. His origin is not explained at the start of the series, but he is soon introduced as a scientific wiz who has great influence on Commander Adama and the Council of the Twelve. It is Zee who convinces Adama not to attempt contact with humanity, as the nations of Earth are not unified and are ill equipped to resist the Cylons should they follow the Fleet to the Solar System. Zee is also responsible for creating most of the gizmos that are used throughout the series. Zee is the mind behind the invisibility screen, as well as the method of time travel first employed by the renegade Xavier. Zee is an expert on any topic he is consulted on, including sociology, history and agriculture. Later in the series he creates an anti-gravity craft that resembles a UFO (Space Croppers) Not everyone in the Fleet is comfortable with so much authority having been given to a boy, and Xavier expressed this view from time to time. At the end of the series in The Return of Starbuck, we finally learn the origin of Doctor Zee. He is the godson of Lieutenant Starbuck and was born on a planet where Starbuck was stranded years ago. While on that remote planet, Starbuck was visited by Angela, who may have been from the race that created the Ship of Lights previously seen on the original series in War of the Gods. (This race was never named onscreen, but were referred to in the scripts as the Seraphs) Angela gave birth to Zee, and Starbuck sent Angela and Zee off to rendezvous with the Fleet in a small escape pod that was too small to carry him. Angela herself disappeared, and did not accompany Zee all the way to the Fleet. Although Adama confirms this information, much of Zee's origin remains a mystery.

NotesIn the May 1980 issue of Starlog magazine, Robbie Rist provides some background to the character of Dr. Zee. Zee is supposed to be so advanced that he is "above emotion." Rist also mentions that the lighting on the set played an important part in the visual characterization of the character, with an aura of light cast around Zee to give him a surreal appearance. Rist also indicated he contributed some small physical aspects to Dr. Zee's character including the crossing of his legs when he's sitting, and the pressing of his fingers together in a pyramid when Zee is thinking. As a child he played Cousin Oliver in the final season of The Brady Bunch. In the late 1970s, he co-starred in a Saturday morning show called Big John, Little John, and in 1976 and 1977, Rist played David Baxter (Ted Baxter's son), on the television program Mary Tyler Moore. In 1980, Rist played "Dr. Zee" on Galactica 1980. As an adult, Rist has worked as a voice actor, such as in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film series (as Michelangelo); from 1984 to 1993, he supplied the voice for the character Whiz in the Saturday morning cartoon Kidd Video. He was also the voice of Aaron in the PC game Star Warped. In Batman: The Animated Series the episode Baby Doll had a character named Cousin Spunky, who was based off Cousin Oliver, though ironically he did not voice this character. (He did, however, voice another character in this episode.) Rist's most recent role is as the voice of Choji Akimichi in the United States release of the anime title Naruto. MusicRist is also a musician. He has performed as the lead singer/guitarist for several rock bands in the Los Angeles including Wonderboy, the Andersons, Cockeyed Ghost, Queef, and Wicked Queer. The list of west coast pop bands Rist has performed with numbers in the hundreds. He currently divides his time between film and music production, performing with Los Angeles alt-country band Kingsize Maybe.   On May-23-07 at 13:47:08 PDT, seller added the following information: On Apr-21-08 at 13:45:30 PDT, seller added the following information: Place a Bid!
