(IGNOREABOVE)Executive Producer James Cawley announced that veteran television and screen actor Gil Gerard would be joining the cast of the new Internet version of “Buck Rogers in the 25
th Century” as a series regular, and will also serve as Co- Executive Producer.
Gerard played Buck Rogers in the theatrical release, which premiered in March of 1979 and became one of the highest grossing pictures of that year. He then went on to star in the NBC television series, which ran from 1979 through 1981.
Gerard recently visited Retro Films Studio, where he met with Bobby Quinn Rice, who has been cast as the new Buck in the web-series production. Gerard offered Rice advice and his best wishes during their meeting, essentially passing the torch to the new Buck Rogers.
“Buck Rogers in the 25
th Century,” the Internet series, is currently in pre-production.
