Babylon 5's Stephen Furst Passes Away
As I've had to explain far more times than I care to remember, I never quite "got" Babylon 5.
As much as I am a fan of immersive storytelling, its character just never caught on with me; and I did give it the better part of two full seasons to show me the money. Still -- as I often caution -- this rarely has anything to do with the talent before and behind the screen, of which I'm pleased to say the talented Stephen Furst never disappointed. While his character of Vir Cotto was always a bit lighthearted, there's never anything wrong with delivering some mirth to lighten the mood, and Furst certainly knew his fair share about how to deliver the goods.
Still, I'll always fondly cherish my memories of him aboard Animal House (1978), where he first came to prominence in the role of the mildly bumbling Kent Dorfman, pledge.
Godspeed to you, Mr. Furst, wherever you may roam, and our deepest thoughts and prayers to those who knew you best.
