Katsulas memorial article by JMS
I just got the following info recently through email..
************* It is with great sadness that I pass along information that Andreas Katsulas has passed away. He was a tremendous talent, a kind and gentle man. He and only he, could have bring the passion and spiritual capacity to the role of G'Kar. He forged a character of strength and integrity that will not be equalled. Here is a statement by JMS on Andreas' death. He, and Babylon 5 fans everywhere, mourn the passing of an wonderful actor, a caring father and husband and steadfast friend. Subject: Andreas Katsulas is gone From: jmsatb5@aol.com Newsgroups: rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2006 14:52:01 +0000 (UTC) Just over a year ago, Andreas Katsulas -- who loved smoking with a passion that cannot be described -- was diagnosed with lung cancer, which by then had already spread to other areas. He quit smoking at once and went on a healthy diet and vitamin program, but there was little hope of a good resolution even though the new regimen was very good for him. When we spoke about it, he laughed, and said, "Now that I'm dying I've never felt better!" His spirits were always up and positive, putting everyone at ease about his condition, because...well, that's the kind of person he was. A couple of months ago, he and his wife convened a dinner with me, Doug, and Peter Jurasik, which was filled with laughter and stories and good food. He wanted to know all the stories we never told him because, as he said, "Who am I going to tell?" So we did. Because we knew we were saying goodbye, and there would not be a second chance. Last night, in the company of his wife and family, Andreas closed his eyes and went away. He lived an amazing life...full of travel and wonder and good work...was part of the world renowned Peter Brook company...he saw the planet, loved and was loved, ate at great restaurants, smoked too many cigarettes...he lived a life some people would die for. And, sadly, due to the last part of that equation...he did. Memorial arrangements are still being worked out, but will doubtless be private. Andreas is gone...and G'Kar with him, because no one else can ever play that role, or ever will. I will miss him terribly J. Michael Straczynski In the next day or two, I will be putting together a memorial page for Andreas at The ZocaloToday. (http://www.isnnews.net) I encourage you to share your thoughts about Andreas -- favorite episodes/scenes, perhaps a convention or personal appearance that you particularly enjoyed. I will also have a place where fans can post notes that I'll send along to Andreas' family. They should know how much he was respected and admired by his fans. Good evening, Sandy Sandra Bruckner Editor/Publisher ISN News: The Zocalo Today http://www.isnnews.net |
its a shame......one of the most iconic parts of babylon 5 must have been his monologue right at the beginning of series one "the gathering"....

A great actor, indeed! He was excellent in The Fugitive and Next of Kin, as well . . .
