In Memory of Andreas Katsulas

This is a video made to commemorate the memory Andreas Katsulas 1946-2006. Another great actor who had a astounding roll on the TV series Babylon 5. I did not make this but i feel its a wonderful commemorate to him that everyone should see.

[@peterott8053]

Came here after 13 years, mourning an old friend.

[@Wicced1028]

"And they make a very satisfying thump when they hit the floor." it is still impossible for me to watch this without crying.

[@michaelweigel8253]

J Michael Straczynski wrote those fine words, but it was Andreas Katsulas who gave them life.

[@nullunit]

One of my favorite character arcs and performances in any series.

[@eledhwenmare2403]

Abso-effing-lutely.

[@TheBadGuy235]

you know, i love this. one of the most complex characters i've ever seen

[@InfernosReaper]

The casting was perfect. Andreas was known for playing villains, but JMS knew he could do more than just that, he could also be a hero. That's what the role needed, someone who could do both and Andreas did so splendidly

[@keithdunn521]

For me. Andreas Katsulas made Babylon 5 what it is. So many fantastic speeches. :)

[@mountainstartemple6041]

I kind of feel Londo and G'Kar were the most interesting characters and formed the main pivot upon which the whole show rotated over time ... they went from bitter enemies to devoted friends and through their changes taught so many lessons to be learned

[@OpenMawProductions]

There's a reason Londo narrated the pilot. Everyone thought it was so odd when it came out that Londo was the narrator... Five seasons later it makes perfect sense. In the end Londo and G'kar are the real main characters of the show. Their behavior and choices shape the course of so many events, big and small.

[@InfernosReaper]

@@mountainstartemple6041 We know early on from a vision that G'kar will kill Londo. It was like "yeah, fair enough." When it was revealed that it wasn't done out of revenge or malice, but instead out of compassion and friendship, it really had weight.

[@AJ-tz6qu]

@@mountainstartemple6041 absolutely. I really enjoyed seeing their relationship change throughout the series. I wish I had paid more attention to the show when it first aired.

[@leslieshafer6343]

@@AJ-tz6qu Here in Texas (or at least in San Antonio) the show had an almost fanatical following right from the very start.

[@psiEnergos]

I loved his characters in Star Trek TNG, but he truly shined on Babylon 5. Thanks for the great tribute.

[@MaryleneGoulet]

He was truly amazing, he made his character so unique.... I'm deeply saddened that he left us so quickly.

[@beanboy35]

Every so often, I come back and watch this video again. G'Kar and Andreas was by far, the most interesting and complex character on any show that I've watched. Definitely missed.

[@darrelllynn650]

andreas has brought so much of his stage performances to the series it made his presence of Shakespeare to the character of gkar

[@oliverurbanik9647]

What a brilliant actor in a brilliant role within a excellent show... miss him and all the others from the original cast, that passed away... :(

[@vardellsfolly5200]

Whoever made this video, was truly inspirational! The music combined with an amazing dialogue and of course, Katsulas' deep, smoothing and powerful voice always makes me sad.. and i am usually a cynical, coldhearted bastard!

[@matthewsykes4814]

Jeez.......G'Kar and Garibaldi gone.......still has a wonderful voice and a great actor, Sci Fi won't be the same without him

[@OpenMawProductions]

Now we've lost Vir, too. Stephen Furst passed away a little while ago.

[@OpenMawProductions]

Excuse me?

Richard Biggs (Stephen Franklin) - 2004 Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) - 2006 Jeff Conaway (Zack Allen) - 2011 Michael O'Hare (Jeffrey Sinclair) - 2012 Jerry Doyle (Michael Garibaldi) - 2016 Stephen Furst (Vir) - 2017 Mira Furlan (Delenn) - 2021 The list goes on, unfortunately.

[@keithdunn521]

This still puts tingles up my spine. In this show even in heavy makeup Andreas Katsulas owned the screen in every scene he was in. One of several actors that made this show. :)

[@theeyeshaveit309]

on of the best sci fi shows ever made

[@brianflynn4]

I don't believe there has ever been 2 character arcs in a single series that are as profound and moving as that of G'Kar and Londo. Both actors were amazing and brought those characters to life in ways few actors could have.

[@Saiqueen1]

I had no idea he had passed away, a brilliant actor RIP.

[@websectech]

I have never seen a finer actor than Andreas nor a more perfect fit of a character than G'Kar/Andreas. The character was phenomenal and Andreas, performing as G'Kar....simply spectacular!!!!!

[@napoleonwilson8217]

he was magnificent in this part..........

[@KryssLaBryn]

Oh, gods! I didn't know that he had died... G'kar was always my favourite character, right from Day One, and Andreas played him to perfection. Together they represented the best of us. Oh, gods, I'm going to miss him! ;_;

[@Graehaus]

Absolutely wonderful, you did him a great honour. he was one of the reasons i watch b5, he is sadly missed.

[@slagit]

Another great character from this show and such a good actor to portray him! I always liked how this character evolved over the series!

[@Reaper2004]

Babylon 5 lost 2 great characters in it's history. We cherish them by watching the DVD's and the movies to see them and how special they are to us. Farewell my friends your memory will always bring a light to the darkness.

[@moralityisnotsubjective5]

As long as his work endures so shall his memory.

[@abraxas365]

Actually, I was very impressed by how JMS delivered the news in "The Lost Tales". That Franklin went with G'Kar beyond the Rim. I thought it was... touching.

[@quamobrem]

Great video for a great actor, and Character, His Character inspires me to be a better man

[@Deniedfate]

This video is one of the greatest memorial videoes i have ever seen

[@redmaxhy83]

Die größte aller Serien !!! Mit einem dem besten Serien - Darsteller !!!

[@shockwave2004]

a beautiful tribute to a excellent actor.

[@seanmorgan2356]

Who's watching this and mourning G'Kar in 2020?

[@Johmpa]

A brilliant tribute to a brilliant man. Godspeed Andreas, and rest assured that your voice will linger for as long as this place remains.

[@Sutemi]

Many actors say that they love acting and I believe them. But I also believe that no one has ever loved acting more than Andy. When you look at the sincerity and passion of his performances you can feel the love in every word he said. RIP Andreas Katsulas.

[@TheOneAndOnlyMrH]

The best tribute video of all time. There are tears in my eyes each time I watch this.

[@wtc175]

The real life loss of G'Kar and Dr Stephen Franklin ripped the heart out of B5. It can never me re-made without these great actors. Both were so truly believable in their roles.

[@mayra3277]

A decade and half later, the Star Trek TNG cast will essentially have a reunion on Picard season 3. My first thought when I heard about this was that it has not been possible to do the same with B5 in many years.

[@GrayDarkflite]

Respond to this video... Breaks my heart ill never see Andreas perform again...RIP my dearand trusted Friend

[@Randseed2]

Katsulas was a magnificent actor, and his acting is something that I've incorporated into my life, personally and professionally. The man was a miracle, and he will be so sorely missed.

[@LeoAsc]

That was beautiful. Andreas Katsulas will be greatly missed in the DVD movie.

[@KorAsek453]

He was a great man, and the world is a darker place without him. RIP Andreas

[@diannacarter4954]

Just happened on this...what a beautiful tribute to such a talented man. We miss you, Andreas.

[@CCB5er34]

This makes me cry every time, for I loved G'Kar, Andreas and B5 with a great passion. He was magnificent.

[@vallettapetracyneran8587]

G'kar and Tomalak I remember her him for both role's *performs a Narn Salute*

[@amiti70]

Simply brilliant you did him proud R.I.P Andreas a great man and a great actor

[@CaptKJaneway]

A beautiful tribute. Wonderfully put together and achingly hauting! Thank you.

[@bobthewatchlizard]

It is truly wonderful to see that people are still adding tributes to this great actor

[@supergavi1620]

May the part of him that is staying remain with us and bring us the clarity, insight, and inspiration with which he lived his life. I salute you, Andreas, for giving us G'Kar and so much more. Thank you.

[@CCB5er34]

Makes me cry, and miss him so much. I LOVED G'Kar and B5 with a passion that will never end. Andreas was incredible, and itg makes me feel so sad and wish that I was still back there when B5 was still on.

[@atwoo0079]

It’s a tie between Gkar and Delenn as to who filled me with more wisdom. Both are dead now but their lessons live on, may they Rest In Peace. I can’t wait to share these lessons with my children.

[@richardharleman]

Though you are gone, your voice still lingers with us; and though a part of you remains here, the part of us that has stayed, very much misses the part of you which has gone. Godspeed Andreas.

[@Yokozuka]

He truly will be missed, he was there right from the very beginning till the END...He was a great character and will forever be remembered.

[@amiti70]

His presence on babylon 5 and in this world enriched us all and we are all diminished by his loss. Rip Andreas

[@GokuB]

R.I.P G'Kar.You were a part of one of the greatest shows ever made.

[@edwardjones6561]

I was luck enough to meet this gentlemen.What a true star

[@AJ-tz6qu]

Rest in Peace. Until we meet again

[@fedupN]

.....Katsulas, Jay, Mako....great and magnificent actors. Awesome. goddamn finite existence

[@Krill8888]

As long as we are here, he will always be here.

[@pimpjuice739]

My favourite character "G'Kar" of any Sci-Fi show and Katsulas played him amazingly well, in my view there will never be any other actor/character to match his biblical presence on the screen for any new show to come. I am now going to re-watch the entire B5 series to absorb the wonderful wisdom that is G'Kar

[@wizard7553]

One of the best sci-fi shows ever made!

[@wbworkout]

I greatly loved and admired this character.

[@WERTY123]

What great acting from katulas and what a voice.He will be sadly missed

[@trevortrevortsr2]

Oh He was my fav - I know it sounds crazy some of his wisdom rubbed off

[@DoreusTech]

Till right now I didn't know he was dead... He was great as G'Kar. All the best for your future lifes to come, Mr. Katsulas!

[@rocasthecrow]

it was his G'Kar that was my favorite of the Babylon characters. This was a wonderful salute to both actor and character.

[@abraxas365]

JMS wrote such great quotes... but this man delivered them with such authority, presence and emotion. He made Babylon 5 work. Period. Babylon 5 is my most favorite show and it's a shame a man like this can't even be seen on syndication. His biggest role was the one-armed man in "The Fugitive". He deserved better, I think.

[@Gd0ubl3]

indeed. seeing my parents house finally be vacated after 35 years... those words really resonated with me....

[@Ryshtyanna]

The character of G'Kar became what we should all be. If every man, woman and child exercised the awesome spiritualism G'Kar did, along with the wisdom, oh what a magnificent society we'd have! God would be proud! Andreas was perfect as G'Kar. He had the voice that made you sit and listen, even when G'Kar wasn't such a nice little Narn. It's unfortunate he's not around anymore, but it makes us treasure what he's left behind that much more. In Andreas' accomplishments, God should be proud.

[@detpackman]

very nice tribute of a great actor. thank you .

[@thrawn323]

it is sad that all peaople die yet we can have strength in knowing that legeands live forever rest in peace Andreas Katsulas and may your memory never fade. For as long as his memory lives on then part of him will live forever in all of those that remember.

[@setofangirl]

to old friends who's memory is still bright

[@triqutra]

This is anamazing piece, it incapsulates everything we learned from G'Kar during B5 ... Andreas was an amazing actor who too the shows/movies he was in to a new level a deeper leverl. May you find rest "Beyond the Rim" you are missed and the muisc to accomany it was beautiful... o know it wass in dragonheart and other B5 episodes thanks this is a powerful clip

[@musthandlewithcare]

This was great! Thank you.

[@keithdunn521]

Andreas Katsulas indeed dominated this show as a character who developed throughout the show beautifully. Subtle and incredibly talented acting. Tingles do indeed run up the spine. :)

[@Thinchap]

goddamn i didn't realise he was gone, such a shame, a great loss. He had such a fantastic voice, and the dynamic between him and Londo was purely amazing, i think i simply must go back and watch b5 all over again, thanks for posting !

[@brifitz1980]

RIP Andreas. Your work will forever be remembered with the giants of sci-fi and makeup acting (Lon Chaney).

[@msim1]

My favorite character

[@cat45276]

[@KorAsek453]

a great tribute to a great man 5/5

[@FirstMagelord]

An inspiration that can be drawn upon even after his death. Would that we could all say the same when we are gone and released from this mortal coil. Andreas Katsulas you will not be forgotten and we could not even if we tried.

[@Valeska687]

Absolutely hart breaking.

[@GrouchyMarx]

Thank you for that SkyElite2. Wonderful actor on a wonderful TV series.

[@streethawkkjb]

this video is a fantastic tribute.rest in light.

[@MJD1701A]

Big word, big thoughts, a big actor. A writer writes words and an actor, put life into those words AK did that with G'Kar. He will be missed. We'll all see him again, when we travel beyond the rim.

[@kenbina]

The part of him that is gone is very much missed by the part of us that remained. RIP Ambassador.

[@ladycplum]

We will see you again...in the place where no shadows fall. S'agapo, Andreas.

[@shodan1451]

I recognize that song as the ending of 'dragonheart'. such a powerful violin, makes you cry.

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

A great character, so deep.

[@Hibbs4Prez]

The brilliant Andreas! He is missed.

[@mikewhiles4635]

Fabulous - a much beloved character that touched many and some beautiful deep words which we can all learn from.
