Wow, the last couple years have really been tragic in regards to the cast of the Babylon5 series. First we lose Richard Biggs (Dr. Franklin) in 2004 to sudden heart problems, and now we lose Andreas Katsulas (G'Kar) to cancer.
G'Kar was always one of my favorite characters in the series, thanks in no small part to the charismatic and emotionally charged acting of Katsulas. I agree that he may have very well been the best actor on the series, and I'm really sad to see him go =(
I thought Jurasik was as good. Really hard to put one above the other. If I had to I'd probably give the nod to Katsulas because he did such a fine job without the benefit of the familiar human face to convey things. He was usually in lots of makeup and bulky costume and still managed to project subtle and great emotions through all that. Totally believable at all times, and such a variety in his character.
