Donnelly Rhodes (born December 4, 1937) is a Canadian actor. A character actor with many American television and film credits, Rhodes is probably best known to American audiences as the hapless escaped convict Dutch Leitner on the ABC soap opera spoof Soap. He also starred as Doctor Cottle ("Doc") on the Sci Fi Channel television program Battlestar Galactica (2004).
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Rhodes, is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada. Between 1998 and 2005 he played the role of detective Leo Shannon in the popular Canadian television series, Da Vinci's Inquest. From 1985 to 1990, he played Dr. Grant Roberts in the family adventure series Danger Bay. He also starred as ruthless corporate lawyer R.J. Williams during the 1991-92 season of the Canadian legal drama Street Legal.
A large portion of Rhodes' career consists of guest starring roles in American television. He appeared twice on the NBC western series, Laredo: in 1965, he played Bob Jamison in Rendezvous at Arillo and played a supporting role in "The Trap" , an episode on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. The next year, he was cast in The Would-Be Gentleman of Laredo as Don Carlos; in the story line, three swindlers used character Reese Bennett (Neville Brand) as a dupe in a land fraud scheme by which they claim ownership of most of Laredo.
