Original Battlestar Galactica star Dirk Benedict is a best-selling author in the United Kingdom, the MediaBistro Web site reported.
Thanks to his appearances on the latest edition of U.K. TV's Celebrity Big Brother, used copies of Benedict's 1987 memoir Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy have jumped to third place on Abebooks.com's U.K. charts. In addition to telling behind-the-scenes tales from Benedict's Hollywood days, the memoir discusses his belief that he staved off prostate cancer through exercise and a macrobiotic diet.
