Richard Biggs – 2004<\/p>\n

Andreas Katsulas – 2006<\/p>\n

Jeff Conaway – 2011<\/p>\n

Michael O’Hare – 2012<\/p>\n

Jerry Doyle – 2016: Statement from J. Michael Straczynski here<\/a><\/p>\n

We’ve mentioned here and there in our podcasts about some of the actors on “Babylon 5” who died much too young. Now, for the first time since starting the Audio Guide to Babylon 5, we have to deal with the loss of yet another member of the B5 family.<\/p>\n

At the time of posting, actor Jerry Doyle – known best by this little podcast circle as Security Chief Michael Garibaldi – has died. That’s about all that is known at the moment, with no details as to how. After “Babylon 5” wrapped, Doyle moved on to try his hand at politics and then became a popular radio host for conservative views, eventually creating the Epic Times website. Doyle would use this platform to support his former castmates, such as promoting Claudia Christian’s efforts in helping people break alcohol addiction. In the statement linked above, J. Michael Straczynski pointed out how he disagreed with Doyle on almost every issue when it came to politics, but valued him both as a friend and as a consummate professional during his acting career.<\/p>\n

RIP, Mr. Doyle. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.<\/p>\n

(Moderators have moved comments from “Ship of Tears” threads to here. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts about Doyle’s and other B5 actors’ passing in this thread.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
