Bruce-- I'm a big fan of both you and your wife... Did you meet
|
|
Melissa while making a movie with her? If not, what were the
|
|
circumstances?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
No, we did not meet while making a movie. We lived in the same area,
|

but didn't know that. I actually met her through a mutual friend. Our
|

first date was when we went out to lunch.

I have been in television for over 20 years so the work is the same
|
|
and I think that the audience has accepted me.

Bruce--still on my husbands line--I watched "Little House" and
|
|
"Scarecrow & Mrs. King" during their "runs" on television and enjoyed
|
|
them both! Are there any plans for Melissa to 'come aboard" B-5 in a
|
|
guest starring role?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
Only to visit for lunch. (grin).

I'm a big fan of the show, I enjoy your work. You have brought an
|
|
air of realism and professionalism to the show that it didn't have
|
|
before.

Is G'Kar at any time going to be asked to join the War Council set up
|
|
at the end of "Matters of Honor"?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|

That is on a "need to know" basis.

How would you respond to people who say your current show is ripping
|
|
of Star Trek?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
After they pick themselves up off the floor, I would say that a
|
|
certain Star Trek Space Station ripped off Babylon 5. Who came first,
|
|
the chicken or the egg?
