Goes to show how memory plays tricks on you.

Actor Noah Hathaway who played Boxey in the original Battlestar Galactica series broke his back when he was thrown from a horse and stepped on (during the filming of NeverEnding Story in which he played Atreyu). Maybe you mixed these two up?

==The "Ishes"==

While not technically dialects, these variants may nonetheless be of interest to students of global English. Most are not genuine [[mixed language]]s, but rather instances of heavy [[code-switching]] between English and another language. Some have stabilized into local dialects of English spoken by first-language English speakers. [[Greeklish]] and [[Pinglish]] might appear to be similar but are in fact [[transliteration]] methods.
