Good Bye Dr. Steven Franklin

Richard Biggs of Babylon 5 and Days Of Our Lives fame died this Saturday at age 43. Though very few details are available it occured quickly. He woke up, got out of bed, and immediately fell down. The paramedics on scene suggested a stroke or aneurysm.

The man did great work and Dr. Franklin was a fantastic character study on B5. He may not have been a Hollywood classic actor, but he was classic to me. Stories of his kindness on set are common and a reflection of the fact he was a good man. Age 43, way too young.
