Isn't that Kevin Grazier? He's the show's scientific advisor, who advises the writers on scientific matters. Which generally they ignore, but hey ho.

Nope. Grazier is sitting on the other end of the podium, in between Penikett and Hatch.

Ah, I see, the bald guy?

I think that's the actor playing 'Slick', who seems to be the highest-profile new character to emerge in Season 4.5 (I think his first appearance is in episode 16). Can't find any information on who's playing him though.

As much as i trust RDM and DE to blow our frakking minds with plot twists and the such,I'm always wary when they bring in new characters... I mean, I loved Romo Lampkin during the Baltar Trial, but his character quickly became a distraction in Sine qua Non. I'm going to remain optimistic, but it's just a little discomforting to know that they'll be introducing a new character in the last ten episodes. Let's cross our fingers and hope for genius, everyone!

I am a little surprised too that a new character will be coming on. Hopefully he will be as cool as Romo started out.
Does anyone remember when Babylon 5 brought on that character Marcus (I think)? Or when the Smurfs brought on Johann? I really hope it isn't something like that. :))

he wasn't actually a "new" character / he's been a Marine (without a speaking part) in several episodes and is apparently good friends with aaron douglas.

his name is colin corrigan and he played a marine named "nowart". in one of the episodes with lampkin as baltar's lawyer, there were two marines, cheedle and nowart ... and cheedles dies. apparently that was supposed to be nowart but aaron douglas went to the mat for him and got it changed.

EJO and Lucy Lawless have something in common: they both love telling stories about their co-stars' d*cks! :D Kevin Smith must be disappointed that neither of them was present at San Diego CC. Eddie seems to have been in a really good mood and funny this time - but, why couldn't he let Hogan answer the question about Cap6?

Oh, and that guy in the first video is so perfect, I would've mistaken him for real Michael Hogan as Tigh!
