may he R.I.P. I enjoyed him on B5.

 

[EmoBorg]

So sad to see so many B5 actors die. R.I.P Vir.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Wow, I totally missed this. So sad. I actually saw him at a thing within the last year and I thought (surprised) he looked really good and healthy.

He was such a likable guy and will be missed.

What terrible, another actor from B5 left us

 

[Captain Shaw]

I'm rewatching B5 at the moment his character is becoming one of my favorites.

 

[stoneroses]

I met him some years ago and found him very friendly took time to have a chat with my brother and I.
Very sad to hear he has died. RIP

Good-bye, you moon-faced assassin of joy...

I've never watched Babylon 5.

To me, he will always be Flounder.

"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life son."

He always seemed like a genuinely nice person grateful for his success. It's a real shame, as he was still relatively young.

RIP Flounder. And Goddamnit, tuck up those pajamas!

Oh man, no!

What is it with the Babylon 5 actors who leave us way too soon? Vir was one of my favorite characters among a great range of outstanding characters.

From his sons' statement:

"And no matter who you are, when you think of Steve, instead of being sad, celebrate his life by watching one of his movies or use one of his bits to make someone else laugh - really, really hard."

Stephen Furst of Babylon 5, St. Elsewhere, and Animal House fame has died at the age of 62. Probably most well known among us nerds as Vir Cotto on Babylon 5. A lot of the B5 cast has been taken from us way too soon. His portrayal as the Centauri aid is really special, even from the first handful of episodes.

Oh no! This is just terrible. This is really depressing to hear. R.I.P. Mr. Furst.

Very sad to hear this, I liked Flounder in Animal House and Vir was one of my favorite B5 characters.
