In that cast photo can someone tell me who is the old man standing next Claudia, looking slightly off centre?

PLEASE Tell me that's not Walter Koenig because he looks SO old!!!
Yes, that's Walter.

Time seems to have been kind to the women of B5, but it got its revenge when it comes to the guys:

It is.

And then the guy between the old man and Mira - is that Marcus?
Also correct.

Julie Caitlin Brown, Billy Mumy, Patricia, Claudia, JMS, Walter, Jason Carter, Peter Jurasik, Mira Furlan, Stephen Furst, Robin Atkin Downes, ???, Tracy Scoggins.

And at least five of them have been in Trek too. :)
 
The man standing between Robin and Tracy is John Flinn III, Director of Photography and occasional actor. He played the man 'suing' the Greys for abducting his grandfather and also the 'annoying man' to whom Lennier lied about having 'Netter Syndrome'.

She's one of the few celebrities I'm facebook friends with, and she posts some really wild and raunchy stuff. I love her to death.

One of my favorite things about her is that, while some of us out here in fandom were arguing over preferences between Babylon 5 and Trek, and casting accusations of plot stealing between them, Pat was happily working on both shows at the same time. I think of her as the Emissary, the Ambassador, between the shows.

Andreas (G'Kar) also appeared on both shows at the same time.

Not quite at the same time, IIRC - he played Tomalak on TNG just before B5, and was in Enterprise after it

Yes, but how often was Tomalak seen? Twice?
 
Four times -- although the last two appearances were in alternate futures in 'Future Imperfect' and 'All Good Things.'
 
The cast apparently gets together quite a lot. Both Pat and Claudia frequently post reunion photos on FB.

'Netter Syndrome' of course being an in-joke as one of the Executive Prodcuers was called Netter
 
This thread scared me. I thought maybe she had died.

Given what's been happening to the Babylon 5 actors over the last decade, that was not an unreasonable assumption. I thought the same thing at first.

I'm glad I was wrong.
 
I got to spend time in a hot tub with her at Shore Leave, many years ago. I count myself fortunate to do so, she is super nice.

To be fair, though, Koenig had to bury his son three years ago after he committed suicide. He's been aging very quickly ever since then, and he's said in interviews that the whole ordeal took so very much out of him. :(

Yea, that was really sad to read about Boner being missing, and eventually found dead. (Sorry, don't remember his real name, just his character name on Growing Pains)
 
I don't think Walter's face looks all that old, it's just that we're not used to seeing him without his wig. And with the bald head, he suddenly looks like a little old man. But he's worn the rug since TOS, IIRC, so had we been seeing him au natural for all these years, the baldness would look less shocking. I'd say he looks pretty well for his age and the recent bereavement.
