R.I.P., Ambassador G’Kar

Okay, it’s really actor Andreas Katsulas who died on Monday at the age of 59. However, in spite of his other roles, including the recurring character of Romulan Commander Tomalak on Star Trek: The Next Generation, opposite Kurt Russell in Executive Decision, as the One-Armed Man in the movie version of The Fugitive and as Joey Venza in Someone to Watch Over Me, I’ll always remember him as Babylon 5’s Narn Ambassador G’Kar, one of the best characters and actors to appear on the series. He played the role well as the G’Kar character transformed from bitter and revenge-obsessed to enlightened and spiritual, and there was no better on Babylon 5 to administer the Warner Brothers cartoon “Nose in the Book Penalty” in live action than he.

Rest in peace, Mr. Katsulas. May you always get the best lines wherever you may be.

  • That photo is great. I grew up on B5 and loved every minute of it. Even my roommates made fun of me for watching it, then I got them to sit down with Season One and they ripped through them all. We all loved Katsulas as G'Kar. He was great.
