RIP Andreas Katsulas

Can’t believe I missed this, but Andreas Katsulas has passed away. For all those scratching their heads going:

Who?

Andreas was effectively the best thing on Bablyon 5 after the writing by JMS. If anyone every complained about Babylon 5’s hammy acting, I could always point in Andreas' direction and all those comments would evaporate because the man was a pro. Especially bearing in mind he wore so much latex on his face and yet could deliver more emotion than anyone else in the entire show.

I actually got upset when I read about it this afternoon since that means there won’t be any more G’Kar moments. Not that I was holding my breathe but he has come back to reprise his role several times. However my philosphy in life is not to be sad about the loss of a human being, but rather celebrate what they did during life. As such I’ll be reviewing Babylon 5 very soon and why (until Battlestar Galactica) was the best sci-fi series ever made.

In many many ways, it was elevated due to this man, Andreas Katsulas. RIP.
