Babylon 5: In Memory of Richard Biggs

I was hired by Joe Straczynski to create official Babylon 5 music videos for him to use at science fiction conventions, and later to promote the show to networks. We produced eight over the run of the series. Now, 10 years after the end of the series and numerous requests from fans, Straczynski has allowed me to post these online.

In May 2004, we lost Rick Biggs much too early to an unexpected heart problem. Rick and I had always been friends at conventions, and since I wasn't able to make it to his memorial services in California, I dealt with my feelings by making this memorial tribute video. I was able to finish it quickly and get it to Patricia Tallman in time to run it after Rick's memorial service.

And a note to the rest of the B5 cast: I don't want to do another one of these anytime soon, so take care of yourselves!

I found this tonight - but it brings back such memories

i met Richard in 2003 - in the August I think at a SFX show in London.

He took my daughter in his arms telling her not to be scared by all the people in masks and suits.

We chatted for a while and all the time he was saying how beautiful my daughter was.

Richard was a true gentleman and I treasure my photos of him and my daughter.

Long may you fly the stars Sir!

I was lucky enough to have met Richard at a Star Fury convention, a true gent who is sadly missed, and has gone beyond the rim with Andreas, Tim and Jeff. RIP

I know Jeff Conaway doesn't have as much footage to work with as Richard or Andreas, but when are you going to get around to making one of these for him?

[GIMPMan1972]

Wow, I did know that and I was a big fan of B5. RIP Richard Biggs

@Dredhawk10 I prefer to assume that they are disliking the fact that Rick passed away
