Richard Biggs, R.I.P.
Babylon 5 spanned galaxies. In a way, so did Richard Biggs‘ fan base.
Biggs, who played Dr. Stephen Franklin on the 1994-98 series and in three subsequent TV movies, died Saturday, his Website said. He was 44.
In a message posted to a Babylon 5 newsgroup Saturday, show creator J. Michael Straczynski said paramedics who treated Biggs suggested the cause of death was “either an aneurysm or a massive stroke.”
“What seems to have happened, happened quickly,” Straczynski wrote. “He woke up, got up out of bed…and went down.”
A shame.

That is a sad thing to hear; I always enjoyed his character on Bab5.
