It's our very sad duty to report on the death of Stephen Biggs, who played Doctor Franklin in Babylon 5. He was 43.
It's an odd twist of fate, as it's only two months ago that Richard's on-screen father in B5, Paul Winfield, passed away.
J. Michael Straczynski broke the news of Richard's death in a post to the moderated B5 newsgroup:
"I was awakened today with several phone calls from cast members and Doug [Netter] to pass along the terrible news that this morning, Richard Biggs passed away.

Paul Winfield was also the cop in "Terminator", right?

You know, I never did trust that Firengi bar keeper. Coincidence? I think not!

No, Paul Winfield was the captain of the USS Reliant in Star Trek 2:The Wrath of Khan.
To: KevinDavis
Robert Patrick was the t-1000 (the cop) in Termiator 2. He later played Agent John Doggett on the X-Files.
To: KevinDavis
What a shame. He'll be missed by all B5 fans.

I never saw that show, but I used to talk to Richard Biggs when he'd come to USC to rehearse for a theatre performance during the actors' strike. He was gorgeous.
To: KevinDavis
I'm sorry to hear this sad news.
To: shadowman99
You are both right, he was the cop and the starship captain in ST II.
To: gore_sux
Paul Winfield "did" play the cop in the first Terminator movie. He was in the police station when Arnold shot the place up.
To: KevinDavis
I'll have to break out my B5 DVDs today in honor of him... How sad and shocking...
