May all these actors Rest In Peace.

Robert Walker jr AKA Charlie X, was also in a non cannon star trek film "Of Gods And Men" starring several TOS actors. Its a kind of fan film but starring the star trek actors. Weird huh?

[@leroyrussell8766]

Patriarchal Norms, are actually a good thing. Oppression, is not good. Just because in some instances, the two come together, doesn't mean Patriarchal Norms are bad. It's literally no different than any other instance where two things are tied together when it's going wrong. Are cars a bad thing? No? Well, when combined with a drunk, it often ends in the death of innocent people. But we don't turn around and blame cars. When people do that, they have an agenda. You should always be suspicious of those people, and at least investigate their agenda. Like it or not, men evolved for combat, and hunting. Women evolved to care for children. Men and women are NOT the same. And like it or not, men evolved to lead, but leading does not mean doing it alone. A smart men takes counsel from smart women, before making decisions. Take counsel, not marching orders, just to be clear.

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

[@CopiousJohn]

He'll be 93 on March 22, God willin' and the creek don't rise. If we learned anything from Betty White, it's don't celebrate your birthday until it gets here. ;-)

[@snsdkbopper7819]

There’s no other Sci Fi series that even comes close to losing as many of its main cast members from deaths so rapidly and young as Babylon 5! Example, The original Star Trek aired in the 60s and it still has 3 surviving main cast members, And Babylon 5 debuted in the 90s, and it only has 3 surviving main cast members left!

[@paulrugg]

It's not a contest. Relax.

[@kanedaku]

Considering both the quality of Babylon 5, and its fans; are you sure they havent't faked mutiple deaths?

[@darrellhanning5068]

"The List Of Star Trek Deaths Keeps Getting Tragically Longer". That's what happens before you invent immortality - every, single time.

[@Clownboy15]

Well, it just got a bit longer. Just read that Gary Graham of Star Trek: Enterprise passed away a the 22nd.

[@christopherdean1326]

That's sad, he can't have been that old. Turns out he was 73, that surprised me. Cardiac arrest apparently. RIP.

He played Soval again in the Axanar production before he died, so we will get to see him again.

[@kegginstructure]

David Warner also had another memorable role in a movie: He was the villain, Dillinger, in Tron.

[@majorneptunejr]

He had a whole list of memorable roles. Jack the ripper in " Time After Time" for one.

[@jamesanthony8438]

You mentioned Gary Graham's other sci fi work, but not David Warner's? Voiced Batman villain, Ras al Ghul, in multiple cartoons and video games over the years. "Tron" (1982): Portrayed Ed Dillinger/Master Control Program. "My Best Friend Is A Vampire" (1987): Played Professor Leopold McCarthy, the vampire hunter. Also appearing in this cult-movie classic was Rene Auberjonois of "Star Trek DS9" (Constable Odo) and "Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country" (Colonel West).

[@stevenlitvintchouk3131]

He also played Jack the Ripper in the terrific movie "Time After Time." In that movie, H. G. Wells was played by Malcolm McDowell, who later played Soran in the movie "Star Trek Generations."

[@warshrike666]

David Warner was also Dillinger from the Original Tron just a great actor how you did not include that is a bit strange. :)

[@the21stcenturydavincibegin35]

THIS was the list of those who have died MOST RECENTLY.

[@Wolfie713]

What about Dean Stockwell? He definitely should have gotten mentioned since he appeared in an episode of Enterprise (starring Scott Bakula). DS and SB are both very well known for the original Quantum Leap series, and a lack of a mention of him (when Enterprise is referenced and SB is even named) feels like a snub.

[@tiffsaver]

I sat right next to Kirstie Alley in my makeup chair when she was getting her Vulcan ears glued on. She had no idea that her life was about to change forever. I also just got my colon checked this year after realizing that's how she died. When you get older folks, get a colonoscopy every five years, please.

Kirstie Alley didn't turn down the role because of not enough pay. It was her agent that did that, without consulting her on the matter.

Did you know that you can make up a list of people that are part of any defined group you can imagine and the list of their deaths will "keep getting tragically longer"? Is that crazy or what?

[@solgoode1]

Bruce Hyde is the loss that doesn't get enough mention. Lt. Kevin Riley was an excellent character and should have been used a lot more in the original series. He died in 2015.

[@AlexGreeneHypnotist]

This is just the tip of the iceberg of actor deaths. And there are behind the scenes deaths which really hit home, like April Nocifora and Manny Cotto, which barely scratch the surface. Rest easy.

[@howardhales6325]

There are actually quite a few survivors from a show as old as this one. There's only one cast member left from the Beverley Hillbillies and one from Gilligan's Island. There's no one left from Green Acres or Bonanza.

[@jonbutcher9805]

Yes indeed. Growing old really, really sucks. But leaving with a name known by so many unrelated people. A name or a legacy that will endure is such a rarity. With so many people on our little ball floating around the galaxy. Those who are remembered were truly blessed. RIP

[@SxD1982]

David Warner is also responsible for creating Tokka and Rahzar in TMNT: Secret of the Ooze.😆

[@casualsuede]

Us B5 fans understand the concept of tragic deaths of the main cast. Sympathies.

[@kristinaF54]

I thought the reason about Kirstie Alley not returning for the role of Savak was not about money but about her wanting to make the role sexy. Shatner didn't like that idea as it took away from his character on screen by being upstaged by a sexy Vulcan. But she's dead now and we'll never know the truth.
