The original Boomer was a male portrayed by Herb Jefferson, Jr. Boomer was a lieutenant, an officer with a background in engineering and communications. He was also an expert Colonial Viper pilot, and had pulled a tour of duty in the frozen environment of Ice Station Thule (thus making Boomer useful for similar missions in the series, such as Gun on Ice Planet Zero). The pilot episode novelization said he was a voracious reader who usually spent his off hours reading.

Years later, during the events of Galactica 1980, Boomer had reached the rank of colonel and was the executive officer of the Battlestar Galactica.

The reimagined Battlestar Galactica features a character with the callsign "Boomer", played by Grace Park, humanoid cylon sleeper agent Lieutenant Sharon "Boomer" Valerii. However, there are many copies, one of which (Lieutenant Sharon "Athena" Agathon) has since been serving on Galactica under a different callsign.
