See Harrison Ford's The_Fugitive. Andreas plays the One Armed Man. He is
a Shakespearean trained actor and Peter Jurasic once said that if you
wanted an answer out of Andreas get him before he got into is makeup
because from then on only G'Kar was there.  Interesting, Yes?

Agreed on Delenn but not Boxleitner vs O'Hare. Always though that
O'Hare's delivery was too one-dimensional.  Pre Zha'adum (sp?)
Boxlietner is much better than post Zha'adum Boxleitner though, IMHO.

In fact I can't even see him as anyone but Bester anymore. That fat
headed Checkov was such a sad role for him.

I want to point attention to the two post video book series. MUST read
for anyone interested in cannon for B5 as they were basically set up by
JMS even if not written by him. The first is the Psy Corps series. The
second the Centuri Prime series.  Can't recommend them enough.  The
third PsyCorps book is so good IMHO that it could stand alone, and
allows us to see into the mind of Bester, understand him better, even
(gasp) like him.  The Centuri books give excellent closure from the
series with many scenes from that two part episode where Sinclair
becomes Valenn cut into the books.

Now back to your regularly scheduled HAWKWIND AND BOC
programming..................
