G-Kar got most of the Good lines all right.

When i met Andre, he was in Character and would not relax a single whisker, studying to do the fugitive movie (his full beard would not be used in the upcoming movie), which was a major hollywood Secret at the time. He told everyone he was in Character and would not apologize nor "leave"  his character while he studied him, but would not tell anyone who he was going to portray.

The funniest thing to me was learning that this sophisticated intellect was born in missouri

I felt overwhelmed by his humanity at one point when I saw him pick up and cuddle a total stranger of a sick little boy with muscular dystrophy who wanted to get into a pic with his mom but was too weak. he became the tiny boy's elevator before the mom even knew what he wanted and the little boy smiled from ear to ear, not even knowing who this stranger was.

G'Kar was the best character in the whole series and Andreas played him brilliantly. Although Andreas died a fair while ago, RIP.

G'Kar was a fictional character in Babylon 5 who was played by the actor Andreas Katsulas, who died about three years ago.

It's a mental vitamin called Babylon 5, created by J.Michael Stracynzki.

IMO, we need to learn how to cope and interact with non-terrestrial beings. Sooner rather than later. B5 is a kind of primer for that, as is TORCHWOOD.

I always thought that Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar on Babylon 5) was an awesome human being. DD's observation confirms that fact.

I like G'Kar as well but Londo Mollari was my favorite followed by Garibaldi. Londo's balls of steel and sharp mind for thinking several steps ahead of his enemies at court made him a fascinating  character and Garibaldi's do or die ethos brought to mind Col. William Travis or General Anthony McAuliffe. And Susan Ivanova looked great in her form fitted uniform.
