My Take
What I admire most about John Colicos is his refusal to be boxed in. He trained as a serious Shakespearean stage actor with the Stratford Festival, yet he became immortal to genre fans as the Klingon commander Kor and the treacherous Baltar. That ability to carry both gravitas and gleeful villainy is rarer than people think. The Order of Ontario marks him as a homegrown talent his country was proud of, and rightly so. To me he represents a kind of actor who never looked down on popular entertainment, and that generosity of spirit is exactly why he is still remembered fondly.
