Nope. Tom Zarek, a semi-regular character on the new BSG. Zarek's a former freedom fighter/terrorist (depends whom you ask) who was on a prison ship for blowing up a public building. As in his middle age, he turned skillful politician after due to post-apocalyptic circumstances getting out of jail in the episode Bastille Day. He was elected as a representative in the new Quorum of Twelve and quickly became the main opposition to President Laura Roslin, but when Roslin had her end of season 1 fallout (to use a euphemism) with the military in the form of Commander Adama and in early s2 was on the run for a while, she and Zarek had an uneasy political alliance. Their very first exchange after said alliance started was: "Mr. Zarek." "Call me Tom." The icon shows that moment.

Shamefaced sidenote: Zarek is played by Richard Hatch, who was the original Apollo in the old BSG, and this had an effect a bit similar to seeing Walter Koenig as Bester after being familiar with him only as Pavel Chekov - to wit, lots of people, including yours truly, going "wow, he can act".
