OH NO WAY!!!! That cool Doctor from Babylon 5 is dead. What a shame!

Sad irony that Paul Winfield (who played his father) passed away only a few months back.

Me neither. I'm pretty cut up about it myself and I'm not the one named after a Babylon 5 character!

Err... What? Hello?

Rick Biggs gone?!?! WOW! ****!!!

Granted I'm not a die-hard fan of B5 in the meaning that my life doesn't revolve around the show, but still...
This came as a blow.

He only got to be 44 years old. Poor guy, and poor family.

But at least it was quick.

There's a copy of JMS' email about this here

****!

Sorry if I'm not as coherent as usual, but I lost a very good friend a few weeks ago, and was almost over that, and then this happens... ****!


Now why can't I type * in caps?.... ****!

He was a good actor, and when I heard him live in 97 he was quite incredible. And from Pat Tallman I heard he was a really stand-up guy who did his best to make others feel welcome...

****! ****! ****! ****! !!!!

Oh, well....
