Unhappy Commander Sinclair has gone beyond the rim

Michael O'Hare, who played Commander (and Ambassador) Jeffrey Sinclair on Babylon 5, has passed away at the age of 60.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:
"(J. Michael) Straczynski updated his Facebook Fan Page on Friday, September 28th, 2012 to say: I regret that I must convey the sad news that Michael O'Hare passed away today. He suffered a heart attack on Sunday and was in a coma until his passing this afternoon. This is a terrible loss for all B5 fans and everyone involved with the show wishes to convey their condolences to the O'Hare family. He was an amazing man. "
Sad news indeed.






Rest in Peace, Commander Sinclair









(Thanks to Warrior for the message on Facebook.)

He was a terrific actor and really nice person in real life too.
He'll be sadly missed.

Just glad I got to see him in person (back in like 1995 or so). He did a charity walk with a sci-fi club I'm in (The USS Joshua in Dallas, TX) and then signed autographs afterwards at a mall. He was tired, but what a guy.

You know I've been watching Babylon 5 first season lately, and if anyone is familiar with Fireball XL5, his calm demenor is a lot like Steve Zodiac. Which I think is just boss. (giving a bit of Fireball slang there) :P

But yeh, he will be missed for sure.
