I have come across a few men named Richard Hatch, so here's a quick low-down.
Colonial Richard Hatch
In
early 17th-century Virginia, a young apprentice named Richard Hatch was
brought before the colony's ruling council. Apparently, Richard had
made an indiscreet comment (in a private home) concerning the execution
of a fellow colonist for sodomy. Richard had said "'that in his
consyence' he thought that the settler was 'put to death wrongfully.'"*
For such apparently egregious sass, Richard was sentenced to be whipped
to and from the gallows, stand in the pillory, lose one of his ears, and
restart his term as an apprentice (despite being nearly finished). A
harsh punishment indeed!
*James West Davidson and Mark Hamilton Lytle, After the Fact: The Art of Historical Detection, 6th edition (New York: McGraw-Hill, 2010), 46. This is a really cool book about American history; I recommend you check it out at a library because it's a bit expensive.
Actor Richard Hatch
Richard Lawrence Hatch is an actor who was born 21 May 1945. Although he has appeared in the odd episode of Murder She Wrote and The Love Boat, he is best known for Battlestar Galactica.
Richard appeared in the original BG as Captain Apollo. That show lasted
for only one season (1978). Richard spent years trying to revive BG,
but when the show was remade in 2003 he was initially not a part of it.
Richard was highly critical of the new show before it even aired, but he
was reconciled. In 2004 he was cast as Tom Zarek, making him the only
actor to appear in both versions of BG.

Survivor Richard Hatch
This
Richard Hatch is the infamous winner of the first season of Survivor,
which aired back in 2000. He's famous for playing naked (eww), being an
asshole, and going to prison for tax evasion. Hatch was so sinister
that in 2013 TV Guide placed him on their list of "The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time." Wow.
