I know its late but I'm sure any Babylon 5 fans will join me in expressing sorrow at the death of Richard Biggs, who played Dr Stephen Franklin, in May.
Its a shame that such a talented actor should die at such a young age (34). He'll be sadly missed by SF fans everywhere.

my family used to watch B5, it was never my absolute favorite show but it was a very good one. i hadn't heard that he died, and it's very sad he did, especially in the prime of life. i'd like to know, how did he die?
Rest in Peace, Mr. Biggs.

My brother used to watch that show a lot, but I can't remember who the doctor was. It's always sad when someone dies.

My parents are huge B5 fans. I've bought them series 1 thru 5 on DVD for b-days/father's days/etc... Too bad about the doc. He will be missed.

According to a magazine called SFX, the cause of death is not 100% certain but the most likely cause is a stroke.

Good grief, this is a surprise. Far far far too young.
Was a big B5 fan, myself.

I have just discovered what an exceptional man Richard Biggs. Since the age of 13, he was totally deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other. Therfore, all the money he made from selling autographs at Science-Fiction conventions went to support a school for the hearing impaired. What a man.

That was very generous of him! They must have had some interesting bloopers, too.
