Richard Hatch took a few moments off the red carpet to speak with Jackie Gamber about specism, and his opinions about species-based discriminations in general. Richard--pictured here wearing his "Fight Specism" button--is an internationally known actor, teacher and speaker who has sustained recognition in series such as Battlestar Galactica (for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award). Richard is also an author of five original Battlestar Galactica novels!

Richard was very passionate about the plight of dragons, and all creatures when he stated, "I'm against the discrimination of any species!" We appreciate him taking the time to talk with us, and look forward to seeing more from this great actor and author.
