Anthony Charles De Longis[1] (born 23 March 1950 [1]) is an American actor, fight director, sword master, professional weapons trainer, horseman, and writer[2] who portrayed Taba, the young Borellian Nomen in the Original Series.

Born in Glendale, California[1], De Longis has appeared in many genre and popular television series, including 1980s' version of The Twilight Zone, 1990s' version of The Outer Limits, Babylon 5, The A-Team, Highlander: The Series, and Star Trek: Voyager.

In Star Trek: Voyager, he portrayed First Maje Culluh, a Kazon, though this was not his first trek into the Star Trek franchise: he provided voices for various characters in Interplay Entertainment's two Star Trek: The Original Series games, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Star Trek: Judgment Rites.

Apart from acting, he works as the fight director at the Los Angeles Music Center Opera, a position he's occupied since 1985.[2]

As an experienced horseman, De Longis is a founding member of The Australian Light Horsemen, a "mounted calvary team that performs realistic combat routines with sabers, lances, bullwhips and pistols".[2]

De Longis has also been awarded with the Dramalogue Award for choreography in Mark Taper Forum's Julius Caesar.[3]

According to actor Robert Feero (who played fellow Nomen Bora), as of 1979 De Longis had achieved a Black belt in Kung Fu.[4]

Specialist Anthony Figurski is a deckhand aboard Galactica.

He and the other deckhands throw a welcome back party for Cally Henderson when she is released from the brig, and he later assists in the construction of the Blackbird, being the first to help Chief Tyrol and signing his name on the hull at its commissioning ceremony (TRS: "Flight of the Phoenix").

Figurski is present at the ship's boxing tournament and talks with Chief Tyrol about Viper maintenance (TRS: "Unfinished Business").

Figurski may be considered a slower yet reliable worker. Chief Tyrol makes a humorous comment to Figurski on whether the deckhand was going to appear as if he were actually working that day. When Figurski complains about Admiral Adama's speed in signing a work order authorizing a carbon dioxide scrubber repair that would take up to a day to complete, Tyrol teases him once more, quipping that it would take Figurski a day in any case (TRS: "A Day in the Life").

After having a brief confrontation with Seelix about her plans to become a pilot, and overseeing the transfer of some of Dogsville's residents to the refinery ship, he participates in Chief Tyrol's short-lived workers' strike (TRS: "Dirty Hands").

Figurski is among the deckhands to whom Chief Tyrol shows the bomb discovered under a Raptor carrying Lee Adama and Romo Lampkin. He seems to agree with Cally Tyrol's suspicion that a Cylon infiltrator was responsible for the bombing attempt. Later he hands Lampkin a case of files from Colonial One, shortly before a second attack wounds the attorney (TRS: "The Son Also Rises").

Figurski attends the religious service for Cally Tyrol and is seated next to Galen Tyrol during the ceremony. Later, Figurski and Tyrol look over Margaret Edmonson's crashed Raptor. The technical failure is attributed to Tyrol's failure to swap out a damaged component. Figurski offers to do Tyrol's work when the Chief becomes irritated and angry over his error, but Tyrol dismisses him (TRS: "Escape Velocity").

Notes

  • The credits for "Flight of the Phoenix" and "Revelations" give his rank as specialist, 3rd class. However, according to a blog entry by Ronald D. Moore, this rank does not exist within the rank structure of the Colonial Fleet. While the hierarchy the writers use may very well have changed since then, there are no other indications of a distinction between specialists. His rank insignia cannot be identified clearly in any episode, but the costuming department appears to to have produced only one specialist insignia.
