Babylon 5: In Memory of Andreas Katsulas

I was hired by Joe Straczynski to create official Babylon 5 music videos for him to use at science fiction conventions, and later to promote the show to networks. We produced eight over the run of the series. Now, 10 years after the end of the series and numerous requests from fans, Straczynski has allowed me to post these online.
In February 2006, we lost Andreas Katsulas to lung cancer. Unfortunately, it something many of us knew was coming, but it was still hard to accept and deal with it actually happening. I never hung out with Andreas like I did with Richard Biggs, but he told me once how much he liked and appreciated the work I did on the official B5 music videos - that meant a lot to me. So even though I hate the circumstances under which I came up with this, I did a tribute video for Andreas as well, to honor him and his performances in my own way. I've been told the video for Rick touched a lot of people, including his family - I hope this one can do the same for Andreas' family and fans.
This is the extended version that I did for Andreas' widow after the original cut was released on the net. She contacted me and asked for a copy to run at his memorial service. However, she was disappointed I had not used her favorite G'Kar quote - so I quickly edited that in as a new introduction. It's never been seen online until now.
And a repeat of my earlier note to the rest of the B5 cast: I don't want to do another one of these anytime soon, so take care of yourselves, please!

I do not think anyone else could have carried that part as well as him. He had the right voice, presence and carriage for the warrior poet.

[@johnmoldoch1057]

He was the only actor with the sensitivity and empathy as well as the ability to project the inner strength of G'kar.

Perfect acting, perfect character arc, I mean I I’m 53 and cried my eyes out when he said to Londo, “I can never forgive your people for what they did to us........but I can forgive you.” And then they embrace. Wow! A poet, an actor, and legend. Enjoy life beyond the rim, or into west!

[@J3JJ3]

Andreas being cast as G'Kar was one of those rare moments when the actor and character came together as if by destiny. Babylon 5 just wouldn't be the epic series that it is without G'Kar, and G'Kar wouldn't have been the epic character he is without Andreas. It worked so perfectly.

B5 was a sci-fi series only in name. In fact it was all about humans: their unanswered questions, their insecurities, their fears, their ambitions, their power struggles, their plots, their shattered dreams, and at the same time it was about their dreams, their intelligence, their courage, their perseverance, their friendships, their loyalty, their need to love and to be loved, their need to belong and to believe, in a nutshell it was all about their glorious and wretched nature. A unique philosophical treaty placed in outer space. There never has been such a sci-fi series before and there never will be another like it.

[@rudolftrost3534]

+alice mi I would like to give this post more likes, but since that is not possible, I LIKE THIS POST (x 1.000)! You got it, Alice, B5 was indeed a hidden jewel of human study, but then again, so is Joe Michael Straczynski. As the man himself has said: "B5 is Sci-fi's best kept secret." and that is a great shame, it should be public knowledge to everyone with an interest in John Lennon's idea of Humanity.

Indeed on JMS...I mean, look at some of the stories he brings to 'kids programming', and even to a show that *was* expressly meant to sell toys. (Specifically, Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future for the latter, and Real Ghostbusters for the former. It always amuses me to think about the time I was looking at a list of my favorite RG eps...and every. single. one. turned out to be a JMS ep.)

[@rudolftrost3534]

VulpisFoxfire I cannot disagree with you, being a fan of jms since I stumbled on to Babylon 5. I used to be a hard core Trekkie, until I saw B5 and my eyes opened. Being a gamesmaster of RPG's, I was looking for a story for my Star Trek campaign and stumbled on to "A Voice in the Wilderness." I never looked back. To my chagrin and sorrow, B5 seems to be one of Sci-Fi's best kept secrets. I have been collecting anything I can find with Joe's name on it, books comics, even action figures...Everytime my writing of episodes for my RPG's hits a snag, I get out mu trading card with his picture on it and bang, the creative juices start flowing again. This man deserves much more recognition.

Too little and the ground is not fertile, and nothing can grow there. Too much, the best of us is washed away. “ “I believe that when we leave a place, part of it goes with us and part of us remains. Go anywhere in the station when it is quiet, and just listen. After a while, you will hear the echoes of all our conversations, every thought and word we’ve exchanged. Long after we are gone, our voices will linger in these walls for as long as this place remains. But I will admit that the part of me that is going will very much miss the part of you that is staying.” “All my life I have been responsible only for myself. When I risked, I risked alone to avoid making others pay the price for my mistakes. They want me to show them another way. What if I show them the wrong way? What if they come to me not because of the lesson but because of the teacher? I worry, Ta’Lon, that my shadow may become greater than the message.” “But we can’t be free, until we learn to laugh at ourselves. Once you look in the mirror and see just how foolish we can be, laughter is inevitable. And from laughter comes wisdom.” ~G'Kar

G'kar was definitely one of the best characters to ever grace a sci fi show. Andreas really brought him to life in a way no one else could. Some of the best acting you will ever likely see. He added realism and emotion to an already amazing show, making B5 the best sci fi that I think will ever be produced. They just do not make them like this anymore, and I doubt they ever will.

Even with all the make-up on and only his eyes and mouth showing, you can see all the emotions there on G'Kars face, all the pain, anger, happiness, sarrow. everything Andreas pored into G'Kar came through the make-up.

I enjoyed watching Andreas Katsulas on Star Trek The Next Generation, and Star Trek Enterprise; however, I loved his portrayal of G'kar. I think that G'kar had the best story arch out of the entire characters on Babylon 5. We see him go from a man bent on revenge for the way his people were treated by the Centauri, to become the philosophical/moral center of the characters. He was hell-bent on hurting the Centauri when the chance appeared to become a man that would be willing to sacrifice his life to save the people around him. In many ways, I am a lot like G'kar I was hell-bent on hurting the people that have hurt me; however, I am done with that, I am trying to be more like what G'kar became.

His was my favorite character on the show - so full of life and hope and pain and courage. I never met Andreas, though I do have his autograph. A little bit of him sits within me and he goes with me throughout my life.

They used Dragonheart's theme. It is wonderful, as G'Kar has offered us some great moments of wisdom, which only Draco could have. RIP, Andreas Katsulas and Sean Connery.

The whole series was well written, but so many of the best lines were given to G'Kar. And Andreas hit a home run every time. And this was perfect. Great editing and perfect counterpoint music.

Never heard better words of wisdom. G'Kar was my favourite character on B5, so very well played by Andreas Katsulas! Thank you for the memories!

[@simongambrill1886]

This is amazing, Andreas Katsulas the part of me that is staying misses the part of you that is gone. We should all be so lucky to be remembered in such a fantastic way. You left this world but part of you remains and I hope that part of us went with you.

Still one of the best tributes.

I was the EFX Make-up Supervisor for a season on B5 And had the pleasure of working with Andreas. The life he gave to the make-up was amazing. He was truly G'Kar. An amazing actor, An amazing person.

[@MrPeterpiper1969]

G'Kar is without question the character who grew and evolved the most in Babylon 5. Andreas Katsulas played the role to absolute perfection and while it would be an injustice to forget his other awesome work on TV and in films this will rightly be the role he is best remembered for. It's astonishing that he didn't get a mantlepiece full of Emmy's for this amazing portrayal. As long as babylon 5 is aired anywhere in any format he will be remembered and missed. Thank you for your wonderful work and thank you for leaving these wonderful memories.

[@cmdstarbuck451]

Rest in Peace. You gave a great character in B5 a live. Seeing the change of this character was only possible by your actoring. Your living as long as a fan as I will love the series you are a part of.

[@northcoaster]

I loved this series and this character. Joe Straczynski did something special - something that many people in the upper levels of the networks could not deal with. He found actors that could portray the people in his vision. Andreas Katsulas was one of those actors he picked to portray his vision and we are all lifted by our association with his portral.

[@timothee-axellechowicz9734]

So many of them have left us now... Mira Furlan, Jerry Doyle, Andreas Katsulas, Richard Biggs, Stephen Furst, Michael O'Hare, Jeff Conaway... We miss you so much ...

[@jw4499]

I played this vid to my brother on the night my father passed away. We are both big B5 fans, I felt the writing was brilliant and these words had and do have a very special meaning beyond the programme itself

[@kmo9111]

we miss you as a babylon 5 member who had to leave of a better reason. even babylon 5 missed you when youre gone. we hope there are a heaven for ut to wait for too. b6 space station and time travels. we meet again i heaven and earth.

My older sister was at the epic Babylon 5 convention in Blackpool between seasons 4 and 5. She said Londo came out, stood on the stage, then started to sing 🎵 “Just me and my shaaaaadows!” 🎵 which had the audience all but crying with laughter. Several minutes into his bit, G’kar comes out. Carrying a stepladder. He sets the stepladder up as Londo stares at him in silence. He climbs three steps. He looks at Londo. Londo looks at G’kar. He looks at the audience. “I do not want to be on the same level as him!” Best. Convention. Ever.

[@summersnowflake70]

Brilliant time at that convention, so glad to have been there. 😀

[@khankrum1]

GKar is the moment that defines Andreas Katsula. He is the heart and sould of B5. Who can ever forget those moments with Peter Jurassic , Londo, pure magic.

[@craigmartinj]

Andreas... we miss you sir. Our time here on Earth was blessed by your efforts and now that you are gone we feel the loss in our hearts. I know you are on to a better place and I envy that place for your contribution to them. RIP sir.

[@CllrP]

I really hope more people watch this show and get to enjoy his performance. The characters journey and the love hate relationship with Londo are some of the best TV ever filmed.

[@Redtressed1]

Andreas Katsulas was a fine actor; the way he emoted through all that makeup is a tribute to his great talent. Although he did not write or create his character he made it his own. The world is a poorer place without him in it.

[@NorthForkFisherman]

I say this often in life, but I cannot think of a better place to share this thought: "We are mayflies standing at the edge of the cosmos, contemplating the infinite. Enjoy your day." This man WAS G'kar, and the soul he brought to the role was beyond inspirational, it was the instruction for a lifetime. See you beyond the Rim, Andreas.
