Sad news, very sad news. He was a fine actor, but... do you have an URL? I couldn't find the newspiece anywhere.

That's sad. The scene between him and Patrick Stewart in "The Defector" still sends chills down my back, and is my favorite of the entire series. So young, too.

He was really great- my second favorite Trek baddie (after Dukat).
He was great on B5 (obviously) but also in a bunch of smaler roles where he shined- like in Communion.
Fuuuuck. 59 is waaaay too young.

I *LOVE* G'Kar's speech that ended season 3 of Babylon 5 - at the end of Za'Ha'Dum. THAT sends shivers down my spine! Brilliant stuff.
I agree with the Defector bit with Picard... You were seriously frightened by his intent to take the Enterprise back to Romulus and display it's broken hull in the capital! That was just on the other night on cable. Great stuff. That's a very good TNG episode. Actually just an aside - I think TNG Season 3 has to be the most cosistant and best of the TNG seasons.

One of my favorite G'Kar scenes was right after the Centauri attack on the Narn Homeworld. Lenear is riding in the elevator with G'Kar. When Lenear apologizes for the attack and devestation, G'Kar takes a knife, cuts his hand and, with each drop of blood says "dead" over and over again. Then he asks how do you apologize to them?

I never really got into B5, but I always liked seeing G'Kar on screen, he had such a presence. And it was always cool to spot the actor out of his make-up in other shows. 59 really is too young to go.
