ATTN JMS: Sheridan a bit too grey?
UnltdLife
He didn't seem very much younger than he appeared in SiL fifteen years later.
Did the "Telepath Crisis" take a particularly horrendous (sp.?) toll on him?
You mentioned a few times how much your hair "greyed" the past six (or so)
years doing B5. I suppose an all out war with Telepaths on a planetary scale
could be as much of a stress inducer in an Alliance President as producing B5
over five years. (Maybe even more so...)

That makes sence. I rember looking at my cousin, when watching it, and
saying "well, SHERIDAN dind't age well, did he?". But with everything going
on, I'm suprised he didnt' ahve to go in for heart surgey and see a
psycologist and the rest :) Or, maybe, it was in his genes, soem people
defianty go grey much youngre than others do.

Given how badly Sheridan was mismanaging the aliance in S5 with no indication
he was getting any better, I chaulked up the grey hair to that. But, I gotta
say, I thought it looked really attractive....and I don't like BB or Sheridan.

Actually, he seemed almost YOUNGER in SIL because I would swear in ACTA
he demonstrated a LIMP from time to time. He also seemed to be
emotionally "beaten down" which is why I think he REALLY seemed so old.

Have you ever seen a picture of exactly HOW GREY Bruce Boxleitner is in
real life? There was a shot of him on the cover of one of the Brit SF
mags last year that was a real eye-opener ...

I guess being president of the IA could be stressful, especially
having to sit through all those meals with Delenn when he knew he had
work to do...

So you're saying he appeared to be in better shape fifteen years later
in "Sleeping in Light" because he knew when he got up again on that
final morning, he'd never be eating flarn again? ;D

I'm assuming this refers to "A Call To Arms" (Which will appear DECADES
later here in the UK, as usual). Well, assuming that Sheridan is roughly the
same age as Mr. Boxleitner (who BTW has been dying his hair since at least
series 3), by this time period he should be in his fifties. I think you'll
find a lot of people have grey hair at this age...

PS This also raises the point that the B5 movie should be done before the
actors are too old to play their roles, I think

Don't forget, stress can do things to you physically. My impression
was that running B5 made him prematurely grey (he gets that one shock
on his forhead after season 2). Also, he did DIE at least once. That's
GOT to have an effect on a guy.

Notice that Franklin started to go a bit grey then as well.

Yeah, a thing like that can really put a crimp on your day.

The point wasn't that he simply had grey hair..he went from lots of gray in
season four to dyed red in S5, and then in ACTA he appears with almost TOTALLY
WHITE hair. That's a lotta stress...

My dad, for one (who had totally black hair less than five years ago - now
it's almost white). OTOH, Sheridan didn't look too grey in 2278 (WWE2) -
maybe he looked in the mirror post-Call to Arms and decided that he'd rather
dye than look *that* old ;-)
On a related note, does anyone else think that everyone bar Sheridan seemed
to have weathered very well in SiL. Ivanova's ageing seemed to be confined
to one strand of grey.

Actually, after he killed Anna on Z'ha'dum in an act of justifiable
homicide, Sheridan inherited her estate.
Unfortunately, this was revealed to consist of a lifetime supply of
Clairol Loving Care hair coloring in "reddish brown #2." After five
years of marriage, Delenn finally decided to tell him he looked
ridiculous, so he had the color stripped from his hair, at which point
he discovered he'd gone entirely grey.

If you want a real life example of what 5 years of stress can do to a man,
just look at JMS!

Well, Franklin was basically the same as the 2262 model, just with white
hair and glasses( the white hair started to appear in S4, only to disappear
by the start of S5,strangely). Zack took the heaviest toll IMO, with that
limp and all.
However, the award for best weathering must go to Lorien. :-)

I'm sorry.... I'm new... Does JMS actually post messages here, or
is this a sick joke to play on a drooling fan-boy like me.
(and Joe, if this is true, did Bruce go grey from doing a show like
Babylon 5? And if -that's- true, how's -your- hair?

When he appeared in the Future WWE2, he was exactly his own age. He
didn't 'leap' into himself at a later age.

Well, considering that the actors are all five years older as well,
I think that the manner in which they aged is pretty believable...

I -like- this theory. If it's true (that the production team did
this on purpose) then i have even MORE respect for them all.

Maybe Just For Men (tm) decided that the leader of the
Alliance was a perfect candidate for their latest marketing
campaign.

I mean in Sleeping in Light when everyone is twenty years older than in Season
4.
