How do I handle a late player for Battlestar Galactica?

I have a player that may be later for a start of a game. How can I incorporate them into a session of BSG?

I see two simple ways of doing this:

1. Create the character at setup time and "zombiefy" them until the player arrives. They exist, but don’t interact at all.
2. Draw up the character when the player gets there.

I think these both amount to the same thing (kind of like adding a character mid-season to the series). But does it cause any difficulties for game play?
