Beyond The Rim

[filkertom]

Great sadness. Actor Michael O'Hare, best known for playing Captain Jeffrey Sinclair on Babylon Five, has passed away at the age of 60.

Farewell, sir, and thank you.

:-( I loved him as Sinclair. Never quite could warm to Bruce Boxleitner's character. He helped to create a fine piece of drama.

This, 1000x. Boxleitner/Sheridan just never clicked for me.

Very sad we won't get to see O'Hare performing again.

I saw the news last night, and realized that he is the third actor from B5 to pass beyond the rim -- all young.

Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) passed away at 59 and Richard Biggs (Dr. Franklin) at 44.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends...

Fourth- Jeff Conway passed earlier this year.

Zathras has also gone beyond the rim. And at least 1 other minor (guest actor) has also passed away.

Someone has a list, I saw it earlier, I'll have to dig up the link. Later, when I'm not busy fighting the minions of Jormag...

We've lost so many... This is the first since Andreas Katsulas to make me start crying upon seeing it, though.

I loved him as Sinclair. He had so much more evident humanity than Sheridan. Admittedly, I came to enjoy the deviousness that Sheridan represented. [... dang that was such a good series!]

Much sadness indeed. He was always one of the people I wanted to meet and thank for his portrayal of Sinclair.

While I loved the character of Sheridan I always found Sinclair's quiet dignity and ability to keep a cool head under pressure to be very admirable.

Rest well sir and many thoughts and prayers to your family and friends.
