Babylon 5's Katsulas Dies

"Andreas Katsulas, the character actor known to SF fans as G'Kar on Babylon 5 and a familiar face from Star Trek and other SF&F TV shows, died Feb. 13 of lung cancer in Los Angeles, his agent, Donna Massetti, confirmed to SCI FI Wire. He was 59.

Katsulas, a longtime resident of Los Angeles, played the Narn ambassador G'Kar for five years in the syndicated cult TV series Babylon 5, starting in 1993. He reprised the role in subsequent Babylon 5 telefilms.

Katsulas was also no stranger to Trek fans, playing Romulan Cmdr. Tomalak in Star Trek: The Next Generation. His last appearance in a Trek series was as a Vissian captain on an episode of Enterprise."

Oh no! I loved him as G'kar, but he was good in anything he did.

Now that well and truly just turned today into an atrocity.

Sigh. The part of me that is staying will very much miss the part of him that is going.

Damn.

Andreas Katsulas was one of my favorite actors.

Shit.

Don'tcha have a lot of respect for actors who can convey real acting through that much latex? It's an exclusive club and it's just gotten a lot smaller.

Ave atque Vale, G'Kar.

I agree wholeheartedly. That man had an astounding amount of skill. What a great loss. He was my favorite actor in the series. I never had the chance to see him in any other roles, though I feel like pursuing that now.
