The sci-fi world tends to recycle people. A lot of Babylon 5 actors also did Star Trek.

Babylon 5 is pretty much my favorite sci-fi show forever and ever. Amen.

I think once you've proven you can act and handle tons of prosthetics and makeup you're set for life. Anyone who can stand putting on a costume for four hours gets a prize in my book :D

And yes Bsbylon 5 is ridiculously awesome :D

I've seen a lot of B5 actors pop up in old episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs. King and MacGyver too, and I think everyone who has ever been in a TV show guest starred on the X-Files at some point. I love connecting shows together based on what actors in them have done. IMDB is my best friend.

And my icon has never been so appropriate. :o)

I was so glad when my girlie got me to see Babylon 5 over the last few years :)

It made it all-the-more fun when she and I sat down to watch Tron and she went "Wait...what's Londo doing on the TV...?" "and why does Bruce Boxleitner look like Brad Majors?????"

good times on the Tron/Babylon 5 grid ;)

That really is hilarious! He does really have that Brad Majors vibe to him...

i sense a fanfic coming on...maybe a rocky horror/tron crossover? :P
