A great loss.

One of my favorite actors from B5.

So young, so sad.

Rest In Peace Richard Biggs

The faces says it all. I don't have any words for this, I don't know what to say.

First we lost Franklin's dad, the EA general, a couple of months ago, now him.

You both will sadly be missed.

He played my favorite character on B5.

It's amazing how quick a person can just...go. Wow. He wasnt even that old or anything.

May he rest in peace beyond the rim.

My condolences to his family, friends and B5 fans all over the world.

Damn, that sucks. He was one of my favorite characters on B5.

*shakes head*

He was one of the most versatile actors on B5. He made Dr. Franklin an extremely believable and sympathetic character.

I can't say anything else that hasn't already been said...

See you beyond the rim, Mr. Biggs...

There is a tribute page for him at http://www.thegalacticgateway.com where you can leave a message to his family, and stuff.

Have a very nice day.

My godless... that sucks.... He will be missed, and was one of my favorite actors...

Vertigo1 · Post by **Vertigo1** » 2004-05-25 12:44am

Dammit, why do all the good actors die?

What's really depressing is that he died on my birthday....

Sarevok · Post by **Sarevok** » 2004-05-25 05:17am

It is sad news indeed. He was too young to die.

Patrick Degan · Post by **Patrick Degan** » 2004-05-25 07:29am

Shit...

This is the first I've heard of this.

Arrow · Post by **Arrow** » 2004-05-25 07:28pm

The worst part is that looks like it was natural causes, and ones that no-one really could have foreseen. His death would be easier to swallow had it be a car accident or some such. But this just leaves you going "what???".

What a damn shame. Any actor with enough talent to make you want to reach through your tv and beat some sense into a character should be able to enjoy a long, productive, career.

I wouldn't have expected this due to his age. May he rest in peace.

Post by **fgalkin** » 2004-05-26 02:39am

And we have confirmation. http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/2 ... index.html

Have a very nice day.
