'''Glen A. Larson''' is the creator of the original ''[[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' and a "consulting producer" for the 2003 [[re-imagining|Re-imagined]] [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)|Series]].

According to the Official Companion, Larson wanted a credit for the new 2003 [[Miniseries]] by [[Ronald D. Moore]] who began the Re-imagined Series, and his claim went to arbitration at the Writer's Guild of America. Ron Moore actually felt that Larson deserved a credit because the story was essentially the same as Larson's, just done "in different ways". As a result, Larson is credited in the Miniseries under the pseudonym "Christopher Eric James." Larson is also credited as a consulting producer on every episode of the Re-imagined Series because he holds the rights to the concept of ''Battlestar Galactica''.
