UNofficial Poll: Who next?

[Jan]

I enjoyed Pat's book a lot and was ecstatic to get new commentary. So, if there were to be any more B5-focused Memoir books (and I hasten to stress that there are no plans in the works for any that I know of), who would you enjoy hearing from next?

Just for fun...I allowed multiple choices in the poll.

Edited to clarify that the poll is for interest in B5 era (mostly) memoirs

[Dan Dassow]

I strongly believe that Mira has the most interesting personal story to tell.

I don't think it's the right time to talk with Bruce about his story. Jerry's already told his story in various books he's "written" ... Claudia's done hers already through Yard Dog Press.

The one I would most want to see is Peter Jurasik's, followed closely by Stephen Furst, and then Bill Mumy

I don't think Mira would ever be comfortable telling her story to strangers, even in written form.

As for Jason ... His could be the funniest of the lot, IF he can remember what he's writing about. :P

[Jan]

I agree that the timing would be wrong to ask Bruce IF this were anything like a real survey. It's just idle pondering, that's all.

I think Mira would probably have a fascinating autobiography but the poll is more for B5-era memoirs (or that's what I meant - I think I'll clarify it a bit upstream).

I voted for Stephen Furst because he had the experience in front of and behind the camera. I think that would be a really interesting POV.

^^ Oh, is there really that much B5 content in that?

Of course there is. It's all about President Clark.. I mean, President Bush. Well, they're one and the same really.

Where's the darn "LIKE" button?

Jan, I'm not sure any of the cast members you cite would have the visual material to put together another book like Pat's. And having spent a fair amount of time with most of them, I'm not sure they would have either the skill or inclination to write a book that is text-heavy. This is no insult to anybody involved; it's just that every actor thinks it's easy to write a book, until he actually sits down to write the damn thing. Having said that, I've asked Bill Mumy many times he would write his memoir of a long and fascinating career, but I never got the sense that he would be anxious to write it. If he did, it could be a fantastic piece of work. The other thing that Pat's project brought up though, is the prospect of further B5/Crusade episode commentaries. The Pat/JMS 'Secrets of the Soul' commentary certainly whetted my appetite for more cast and crew 'bootleg' commentaries, which would be relatively inexpensive to produce. Now that's something I'd like to see- or more accurately, in this case, hear.

I agree, that would be fascinating indeed.

I'll be honest and say I didn't read it so I have no idea lol

On the serious note, I think Jurasik and Mira would be the most interesting to read about. Though I don't know anything about them personally so I could be wrong.

[glindros]

I picked both Peter and Bill.
Peter because he is such a great guy and I only know a bit about him and his career.

Bill given the length of his acting career, and the innumerable unique experiences he has had would be a joy to read about.


As far as "Rogue" commentaries go; May I have some more,... please.


Jason and Jacyln, hope you're taking notes about this thread.
