51 Babylon 5 actors who have passed away

[@danskmacabre]

It's the curse of getting old, watching people around you you like, whether it's relatives, friends, movie stars, Authors die.... And the older you get to live, the more of this you see... I'm older now and I love my life, but this is the sad part of it.

[@katherinekoza6536]

B5 , One of the best series ever made .

[@benahern7410]

Absolutely right.

[@Robbodoggy]

That's why I bought all the seasons. So I agree with you. 💯❤️👍

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

I know, wish they would put it back on tv because I liked watching this show even though it would be reruns

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

​@Robbodoggy how much did you pay for them, an arm & a leg,Lol 😅😂🤣

[@Earl-Dumarest]

Andreas Katsulas, so good I used to tune in just to see his performance. I was totally in awe. and let's not forget the great Peter Jurasic, he and Andreas lit the set when they were having one of their epic meltdowns. epic stuff.

[@Christophiel]

Feeling more and more left behind as all my favorite actors fade away...

[@lindahill7315]

We are getting older

[@РК101]

Peter Jurasik is alive

[@ASavageEye]

@@РК101 Yeah but without J'Kar I dont know if Londo would ever work as a character again. The two of them were just the best duo ever. not to mention Vir is also gone.

[@hindermannbjorn9507]

@@ASavageEye Yup and Jerry Doyle too, important to both of them

[@ASavageEye]

@@hindermannbjorn9507 Absolutely. I mean J'kar went looking for him when he was abducted and Londo considered him his only real friend for a very long time. I guess I am just gonna have to watch it all again, for the 100th time because now it is all I can think of. I cant believe how hard this video hit me.

[@robertmolnar9131]

Its scary to see that so many of thes actors died in their 50s 60s or younger. 🙁🙁. I will never forget their acting as G'Kar, Vir, so many.... My favourite sci fi show. ❤️❤️

[@barrywhite6060]

And it's still happening, it seems like every day someone famous is dying, which is so sad because it also reinforces that we’re getting old. I don't fear death but it's hard because great actors make you feel like you know them sometimes almost like their family.

[@do0ranfrump260]

What it reinforces is that the old generation is leaving... and in many ways we're stuck in a lesser world for their loss. If younger people don't step up and honor the traditions of our past it will all be forgotten.

[@evertonporter7887]

It's almost like there's a 50s curse with so many dying in that age group, including people I knew personally.

[@rknowling]

Thankyou for your time and effort in creating this moving tribute. While I knew we had lost some, I had no idea it was so many.

[@ASavageEye]

Jesus there is almost nobody left from the show.

[@dorderre]

From the top of my head I can only think of Bruce Boxleitner (Sheridan), Claudia Christian (Ivanova), Walter Koenig (Bester), Bill Mumy (Lennier). Didn't Peter Jurasik (Londo) pass away, too? What about Patricia Tallman (Lyta) and Andrea Thompson (Ms. Winters)?

[@ASavageEye]

@@dorderre Peter Jurasic is still quite alive, I seen him just 2 yrs ago at comic-con. The rest you mentioned are all alive yes. Lyta, Talia and Lennier are not options to return however as all 3 characters are dead.

[@dorderre]

@@ASavageEye Talia, thanks :) Her first name eluded me for a second.

My favorite series! Babylon 5 rules!!!!❤❤❤

[@Dragonbear13-k2r]

Feeling so old seeing so many of these actors have gone.

[@Zagoreni02A]

Babylon 5 was and will remain the best tv series ever. Comparing to the more episodic Star Trek, B5 brings more realistic story, which spams trough the entire season but not only season, if you watch all 5 seasons, each season is basically connected. I enjoyed it when i was kid, and even now in my thirties i still rewatch it every year at least once. Even if they made reboot of B5, it will never be the same. Sure you can have new cast playing the main characters, but nobody can really replace them. Andreas Kastulas was one and only G'Kar, Mira Furlan Deleen... New younger generations will claim otherwise, that you can have new actors playing those characters, sure you can, but that won't be the same.

[@TheSmittenman]

I will be 60 in a few years, but i still watch it every few months. One of the best shows ever

[@everybuddy5924]

BSG (reboot) was also a great show and one of the best.

[@johnwiesen4440]

All of them rest in peace. As it was said in one episode of Babylon 5 they are beyond the rim.

[@martinherbert9226]

RIP ... danke das ihr alle diese Serie so wunderbar gemacht habt😢

[@miloroberts5883]

Safe journey too everyone of yous, I watched and still do watch the whole series all the time. You all made Babylon 5 the great timeless Sci-Fi it was. Thank you all ❤ RIP Xx

[@Francois424]

A lot of the late-1920/early-1930's generations in this show. I never realized how many of them were that old. Now it makes sense to see so many gone to the great beyond. With a few odd ones that had too short a life. Thanks for this video. Each year more and more are leaving us beyond. I hope Straczynski manages this new series and that it'll do homage to the original and not a perversion like many remakes/reboot of the last 8 years. 18 years separated the end of Startrek and the beginning of TNG... B5 ended in '99, we're overdue. Godspeed !

[@Robbodoggy]

Seeing these actors again felt like seeing dead friends again.At the same time, it reminded me of all the good times I spent with them.Anyway, thank you for this video. It brought back a lot of memories. I think it's time to get all the seasons out again. So thank you again.

[@adriancooper78]

So many good actors all I can do is just cry I'm so glad that I was a part of Babylon 5 for all the seasons that it was on the air

[@listoholic4507]

It's somewhat surprising to see how many main characters have passed away. That somehow makes one appreciate TNG again. TNG is even 7 years older than Babylon 5 (1994 vs. 1987). With Picard Season 3, we had another nice closure for the entire crew. That's something we will never experience with Babylon 5.

[@Robbodoggy]

It didn't need to. B 5 had a fitting and beautiful ending.For me the ending was perfect. Some things should be left as they are.Anything else would be unnecessary and inappropriate for the series.

[@jeffmckenzie7282]

RIP to all these actors/actresses who gave us these great experiences through their acting prowess. Babylon 5 was a great series to watch.

[@DanielMorin-lx3xb]

Fifty-one actors of Babylon 5 who have already passed away. To all of them, especially the regular cast like Mira Furlan, Jerry Doyle, Andreas Katsulas, Stephen Furst and Jeff Conway, with guest stars like Paul Winfield (who portrayed Captain Clark Terrell in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan), David Warner (who portrayed photographer Keith Jennings in the 1976 movie The Omen), Malachi Throne (co-starring with Robert Wagner in It Takes a Thief and also guest starring in Star Trek The Original Series), Bernie Casey (who played in the television movie Gargoyles), Roy Dotrice (who portrayed Commissioner Simmons in Space: 1999) and Michael Ansara (who played the technomage Elric in the episode The Geometry of Shadows and Commander Kang in Star Trek The Original Series, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager). May they all rest in peace in the Kingdom of Heaven. May all of them rest in peace in the Kingdom of God. We'll miss all of them, especially the regular actors. They'll be missed by all fans of Babylon 5.

That's the wierd part of turning 50. You have to start clearing out dead contacts from your phone.

[@evertonporter7887]

I'm 61, the same age as Jerry Doyle when he passed, and it's sobering to look at my soon to be deleted phone contacts and a few of my Facebook friends who have passed away.

[@alexanderscott9001]

Sad but true..us gen x are getting up there. But we see alot of people younger than us going even faster..smh.

[@boydgrandy5769]

Getting that ensemble cast back together is going to be tough. The Hollywood life must be pretty intense, as the average lifespan of these people appears to be under 60. The odd 90 year old, but a number departed this earth in their 40s and 50s.

[@do0ranfrump260]

Cameos are probably going to be the best we can hope for now

[@erutherford]

First things first I love B5 and it's in my top 5 series of all time. But secondly I'm not sure how the video made me feel -- nostalgic & melancholy at the same time. Overall I feel old and have a sense that I'll never see another series that lives up ...

Сериал-легенда. Единственный в своем роде. Совместил в себе фантастику, триллер, боевик, трагидию, романтику и ужасы. Актеры исполняли свои роди невероятно ярко. Атмосфера и проработанность... Других таких нет и вряд ли будут. Особенно, если учесть современные тенденции с "повесточкой" про инклюзивность и тому подобное.

[@paulfitzpatrick6566]

They all took part in a series that denied God. God won’t be mocked.

[@evertonporter7887]

​@@paulfitzpatrick6566 As a believer, I thought Babylon 5 was quite balanced in its treatment of religion and spirituality.

[@paulfitzpatrick6566]

@@evertonporter7887 the series I refer to is Star Trek & its offshoot programs such as DS9. In the original ST series, George Takei ‘came out’ as gay in real life, a denial of God’s created order & male female sexuality. In the Chris Pine reboots, the new actor who fills the same role is portrayed as being in a gay ‘marriage’, in italics as God does not recognise ‘gay marriage’. The guy that plays Spock, Zachary Quinto, is homosexual in real life. Added to this, he clearly states in one of the reboot movies, that God’s miracles do not exist. A further denial of God. That Yeltsin guy died at an early age, the first of many who will meet an untimely demise, as recorded by Jonasbarbury comment above ‘So many of them died relatively young’.
