Was that Mr Morden ?

[redstar]

Just watched 'The Gathering' (DVD) again and something has me puzzled.
Was that 'Mr Morden' I saw working on the B5 Command & Control deck (funny hairstyle/white shirt) ?

Yes and no. Same actor, not the same character.

Similarly, Marjean Holden was in the MOW A Call to Arms but was Dr. Chambers in Crusade.

Carrie Dobro was another actor from "Crusade" that had previous B5 experience in a different role. She played a doctor in "Exogenisis" and IIRC, I heard she played a Brakiri somewhere although I've never actually spotted her there.

And John Schuck played as Draal in B5 and as a Klingon in Star Trek Enterprise LOL,same thing.

Damnit,not enough actors in the biz

[Redrake]

There is also the Macky's second in command (the one who points a gun to his head), who also appears from time to time on the B5 command deck. I don't know the name of that actor.

As for other series, we also have Walter Koenig, Bester in B5 and Pavel Chekov in Star Trek.

Commander Philby was played by Neil Bradley, who was one of the "Aliens for All Seasons" playing

Purple Drazi in The Geometry of Shadows
Alien #2 in The Long Dark
Kha'Mak on The Coming of Shadows
Minbari #3 in There all the Honor Lies
Narn #2 in The Long, Twilight Struggle
Narn #1 in A Day in the Strife
Dr. Liberano Varda in Movements of Fire and Shadow
Tra'nil in Objects in Motion

However, Philby is the only human charactor for whom he gets into the credits. I would be interested in any further info you might have on his uncredited appearances on the command deck (I think if an actor has no lines, they get no credit) as I am always interested in info on the actors who appear on the show multiple times.

The worst case of dual-tasking, IMO, was John Vickery as both Mr Welles and Neroon. He has such a distinctive voice that it was hard to credit him as a Minbari once you heard him as a human. A great actor, but one who should not be given multiple roles.

Carrie Dobro played the Brakiri who fawns over Sheridan, causing Garibaldi to say, "He's not the Pope, he doesn't even look like her!". He then socks Sheridan on the jaw.

Most of the aliens got to play humans from time to time. Marshall Teague (Ta'lon) played the assistant who was transformed into the Ikarran War Machine. He also played an Earthforce Captain in "The Long Road". Julie Caitlin Brown (Na'Toth) played Sheridan's attorney. Wayne Alexander, of course, played Sebastian. Louis Turenne played Draal, then Brother Theo. Turhan Bey played Emperor Turhan followed by a similarly named Minbari in "The Learning Curve".

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the name of Ed Wasser's character in "The Gathering." In case you didn't catch it in the credits, it's "Guerra" (no first name).

I wonder if he is a descendent of Vida Guerra.

In "Severed Dreams" just before the Agrippa and Roanocke jump out of hyperspace, the camera moves slowly from Sheridan to Corwin and at some point you can see that actor in front of one of those computers (at least I think is him).

Hi

Robin Atkin Downes as Byron (in season 5) played mimbari Morann in In The Beginning

[Leto II]

He first appeared as Morann in "Atonement," then reprised the character for "In the Beginning."

I'm surprised that no one mentioned the name of Ed Wasser's character in "The Gathering." In case you didn't catch it in the credits, it's "Guerra" (no first name).

Yup...he also has a bit more dialogue in JMS's original "Gathering" script, from what I recall.

[Laiden]

if you guys are mentioning actors who played several roles . . . lets not forget the wonderful Wayne Alexander!
