While that article mentions highlights in his acting history, it makes no mention of his best role: Bester from Babylon 5

    I generally don’t get too emotionally invested in characters in entertainment that make it personal, but Bester was one of the few that made it through my guard. WK did such a good job. I despised Bester, that smug arrogance and position that made the character essentially untouchable really ground my gears. I knew he was going to make me vicariously angry when he showed up. He was the Nazi that remorselessly killed people in camps by day and went home to a family at night like nothing was wrong…just another Tuesday. Good writing and great acting.

    If teeps actually existed, then I think we mundanes would essentially be like a disabled person who is missing a sense. I've always felt like that would be obvious if it was actually reality.

    And so all of the Psy Corps's assholery seems even worse. Not just a Nazi killing people in camps, but specifically killing disabled people.

    Unless they've changed it since you read it, it does mention b5.

    In addition to Star Trek, you can see Koenig in “Babylon 5,” “Gidget,” “I Spy,” and “The Alfred Hitchcock Hour,” among several other TV series. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.

    I had specifically did a CTRL+F to search the page for babylon just in case I had missed the mention on my first read, but that turned up nothing. I see at the top of the article that it has been edited:

    My comment was posted at 16:38, which probably fits right in that window given time zone differences.
