The cast, crew, and others involved in Babylon 5 have gone through a lot of tragedy. I believe it was last year that Richard Biggs died very suddenly (in the space of minutes) from what was probably an anyeurism. Today there is another blow. Andreas Katsulas has died of lung cancer.
He was quite beloved by the fans of the show. His character underwent monumental change through the five years, and he acted these changes superbly. The depth and emotion he brought was amazing. He was one of the two most powerful actors on the show, the other being Peter Jurasik.
His death was not unanticipated. He smoked for many years, and stopping when he was diagnosed with lung cancer wasn't enough. I obviously didn't know him personally so can't assert that I will miss him, but I can say that I think the loss in the acting realm will be significant. I mourn that I won't have a chance to see him perform.
