Lieutenant Charlie Pizer (The Black Hole)

A member of the spaceship USS Palomino’s crew, Pizer serves as the ship’s first officer, showcasing courage and loyalty throughout the story. As the crew discovers the derelict vessel USS Cygnus near a massive black hole, Pizer plays a critical role in navigating the dangers posed by both the black hole’s gravitational pull and the sinister intentions of Dr. Hans Reinhardt, the Cygnus’ commander.

Pizer is portrayed as a level-headed and action-oriented figure, often acting as the voice of reason and calm during tense moments. He demonstrates his bravery in several action-packed scenes, including confrontations with Reinhardt’s robotic enforcers. His dynamic with other crew members, especially Captain Dan Holland and Dr. Alex Durant, helps ground the film’s emotional stakes.

The character is brought to life by actor Joseph Bottoms, whose performance highlights Pizer’s resilience and loyalty.
