What a handsome man! Sounds like he was as nice as he was talented. Was he a republican?

[nuconvert]

A republican? I don't know.

[Not A Snowbird]

Only 43? That's not good. Had he been ill?

[marajade]

They stated he got up out of bed and just keeled over... the paramedics stated it was a stroke or a brain anurism... Scary isn't it...

[KevinDavis]

Wow....

[Not A Snowbird]

Darn right it's scary... I'm almost 46.

[KevinDavis]

He also made an apperance on Babylon 5.

Paul Winfield did play a cop in the first "Terminator" movie.

[Braak]

I am going to miss Mr. Biggs, he made Doctor Franklin a very human character. From his crisis with "stims" and his issues with his dad, to the more humorous time he and Marcus were together on that starfreighter infiltrating Mars and Marcus started up with a rendition of "Modern Major General" as the episode ended.

B5 was a show that always made me smile, cry and entertained. It showed us that Sci-Fi doesn't have to be utopian and preachy, and it still can be good.

Vaya Con Dios, Richard

Huge Bummer Bump.

I just happened upon this news somewhere else, and I'm so very shocked. Dangit...

[mhking]

Sad news bump...

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[rudy45]

BOTH of you are correct. Mr. Winfield played the part of a detective in the original Terminator movie. He also played Captain Terrell in ST2:TWOK. He also played a judge in "Presumed Innocent."

[EveningStar]

So young. How sad. :(

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Wasn't he on 'Days of Our Lives'?

[EveningStar]

I never saw Days of our Lives but the death of one so young is actually sad enough for me to hold a very short "Babylon 5 sucks" moratorium.

[nuconvert]

Yes.

"Away from B5 his TV appearances included Days of Our Lives, Tremors, J.A.G., NYPD Blue and Touched by an Angel."

Paul Winfield

Richard Biggs

They both appeared in quite a few roles. Both were quite talented and will be missed.

[cdefreese]

My appologies for messing the links up. Take the '"' off of the end.

Babylon 5 was the best series ever - IMHO Just last night I watching an old tape I have of The New Twilight Zone Shows. On a show about "Toby" with Richard Mulligan, I saw a doctor who looked awfully familiar. It took me a couple of minutes to realize it was Stephen Biggs, kind of a younger Dr. Franklin. Always good lookin'. sure will miss him.
