Richard Biggs on CBS

[David R. Booth]

The Dreaded Typecasting has struck a B5 cast member. (I hear the echos
of Mr. Bill's OOOOOH! NOOOO!)

Saw Richard Biggs last night on TV doing a CBS movie. He played ---- A
Doctor.

I kept on waiting for him to hit is comm link to call medlab.

I don't remember the title but the story was about Reba McEntire (the
country singer/actress) going into a coma and then coming out of the
coma 20 years later.

[Aubrey W. Adkins]

The movie was "Forever Love". It wasn't bad. There were some things to
think about.

He played a doctor *before* B5. On a soap opera (Days of Our Lives) I
believe. His character's name was Marcus.

I didn't see the movie, but from what I heard, a major medical
breakthrough was involved allowing patients comatose for 20 years to
wake up with an unchanged personality and to still be wearing their
own skin.

He also played a doctor on a New Twilight Zone episode.

Has he ever played anything else? :-)

I seem to recall a computer game called "Time Lapse"...in which you
travel thru time to a Mayan city and uncover several messages. One of
which is Richard Biggs talking to you dressed in Mayan attire. I
remember blinking at the monitor and shouting..."It's Dr. Franklin!"
