Richard Biggs, the actor who played Dr. Franklin on Babylon 5, died unexpectedly yesterday at the age of 43.
This is a terrible loss for all of us. Richard was a consummate professional but more than that he was an honorable, stand-up guy. If he gave you his word on something, you never had to wonder about it afterward. He was always helpful and supportive of all the cast, even those who only came in for one episode, always with a ready smile and determined to do whatever it took to make the scene work. He was, quite simply, a terrific guy, and everyone here is just devastated at the news.
Wow. I don't know what to say. I really don't. I can only imagine how his family and friends are feeling.
