He's been an American Army captain in turn of the century Russia,

|
|
how has TV changed since your stint on "Scarecrow" in the 80s?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
The old saying, the more things change, the more they stay the
|
|
same. The kind of programming has changed quite a bit. The making
|
|
of television has changed quite a bit. Now you have to do them n
|
|
cheaper budgets. It's gotten much more businesslike since then. Lot
|
|
less of a family type of feeling on a TV series. An they don't give
|
|
you as much of a chance to find an audience. A show needs time to
|
|
find an audience, and they're very quick to pull them off the air
|
|
now.

Bruce Boxleitner stars on the hit WB series "Babylon 5." As Captain
|
|
John Sheridan, a war hero turned diplomat at the helm of Earth
|
|
Alliance Station Space Station, Bruce has been honored as Sci-Fi
|
|
Universe Magazine Reader's Choice Best Actor in a TV Series in both
|
|
1995 (he shared the award with David Duchovny of "The X-Files") and
|
|
1996.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Do you think that Sheridan truly had a god complex, or was it all
|
|
an act, in order to "rally the troops" in their fight against
|
|
Earth?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I don't think he had a God complex as much as his fight against
|
|
earth became an obsession and I think he felt it was absolutley his
|
|
destiny.
|
|
|
|
Lydil (Prodigy Member)

|
Mr. Boxleitner, how do you feel working in a series where the
|
|
ending has already been filmed, and you know the outcome?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
Well, since I shot the last episode and know how it ends, I feel
|
|
good. It was a terrific ending. Quite a beautiful ending.

During the fall of 1995, Bruce co-starred with his real-life wife,
|
|
Melissa Gilbert, in NBC's adaption of Danielle Steele's "Zoya."
|
|
Bruce starred as an American Army captain who falls for Russian
|
|
Zoya. The plot of the mini-series spanned 60 years. Melissa also
|
|
starred, of course, in the long-running "Little House on the
|
|
Prairie"... Hence, the next question...
|
|
|
|
Dak 8 (Prodigy Member)
|
|
Ever find yourself watching old repeats of Little House? Does it
|
|
creep you out at all? :)
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
No, they don't creep me out at all. I think she was cute.
|
|
|
|
CRhino (Prodigy Member)
|
|
How was the transition, both publicly [media] & privately
|
|
[crew/cast] between the change from you & the previous captain?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
Everyone was very open to me and very warm and receptive and very
|
|
professional. I had no problems whatsoever walking into the part.
|
|
The die-hard fans at first were kind of skeptical, which I
|
|
understand, but I feel they've accepted me very well. So I have no
|
|
problem.

Tell us about how Babylon 5 came back from dead... I had heard it
|
|
was canceled.
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
It was on the brink of being canceled when TNT came like the
|
|
cavalry in the last reel of an old western and saved the day. It's
|
|
difficult to give any one reason why. There were several to why it
|
|
was near cancellation--financial, the joining of TNT and Time
|
|
Warner... it might have fallen through the cracks. But we were
|
|
saved because we had such good fans. TNT bought it and you can
|
|
thank them. So we can continue the saga, which begins again in
|
|
January.

Where is Babylon 5 filmed?

|
How were you picked for the part of John Sheridan?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
Basically, I knew the producers from working with them previously.
|
|
They called my agents and asked me if I would meet with them and
|
|
consider the part. They sent me some scripts and I took it from
|
|
there.
|
|
|
|
Wild Bean (Prodigy Member)
|
|
How did you get into the acting business and how old were you??
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I started in high school and then I went onto professional training
|
|
after that. I started acting professionally at age 19. My first big
|
|
part on TV was on "How the West Was Won," with James Arness. By the
|
|
way, the show is run on TNT constantly.
|
|
|
|
Moderator (Speaker)
|
|
Bruce and the other member of the cast of "Babylon 5" recently
|
|
graced the cover of TV Guide, highlighting the Summer Sci-Fi
|
|
Special issue. "B-5" will soon move to TNT for its fifth season,
|
|
starting with two new two-hour films. And speaking of the TNT
|
|
movies...

|
|
|
Lord Monarch (Prodigy Member)
|
|
Could you tell us a little about Babylon 5: In the Beginning?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
It is basically the story of the Earth-Minbari war. That was the
|
|
seminal event in each of the characters' lives on the show. We see
|
|
where the various characters were during that conflict.

If Delen were to be represented by a human actress, what

Hello! I enjoyed your TV special "Zoya." I thought it was great! I

enjoyed seeing you and your wife working together. Is there any

chance of you two working together again? I would really enjoy

seeing that.

Hi Bruce! What has been your reaction to the passion and dedication
|
|
of sci-fi fans? Do you ever feel like William Shatner on Saturday
|
|
Night Live ("get a life!")? : )
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)

I would only say that jokingly. I appreciate their devotion,

How have you been enjoying your stint in the Sci-fi world?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I've been loving it. For me, it was like a whole new direction in
|
|
my acting career, and I'm taking on another direction by
|
|
co-authoring a science fiction novel for Berkeley Press which
|
|
hopefully will come out this year. It will be along the lines of
|
|
Shatner's TekWar novels, and it's not Babylon 5 at all.

What was it like working with your wife, in the last episode of
|
|
Season 3?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I enjoy working with Melissa a great deal. We're always looking for
|
|
projects to do together. I was happy to have her do the show,
|
|
because she doesn't normally do episodic unless she's starring, and
|
|
I was very happy with the results.

Bruce, what is it like working for J. Michael Straczynski? He seems
|
|
like he likes to control everything... did this influence you at
|
|
all?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
It's his show. He's the boss, and I do enjoy working with him. He's
|
|
a very creative man.

Mr. Boxleitner... I'm sure you get asked this question a lot, but
|
|
what's your all-time favorite episode of Babylon 5? Which one was
|
|
the most fun to make?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I have a few favorites. Zahadum, In the Shadow of Zahadum, and
|
|
Intersections in Real Time, and many more... those are just a few.

Is it hard to take seriously the actors who are dressed in alien
|
|
costumes when you're arguing back and forth with them?

Sometimes.... But I'm used to them now.

What had you been planning on doing next when it looked like
|
|
Babylon 5 was going to be over?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I was in a state of shock, because I thought the show was pretty
|
|
popular. I didn't have any immediate plans. I was just going to see
|
|
what was out there and try to get something else going... If the
|
|
show had been canceled, hopefully I would have gotten some other
|
|
orders, but I don't have to worry about that now.

Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)

It is about the station's reaction to this giant, ancient artifact

|
to the end of the shadow war.

Hello Bruce, Are you and the whole Babylon 5 crew going to be in

some full length movies, and if so, how are these movies going to

Not everyone in the cast is in the B5 films, but they're pretty

in January.

|
Sci-Fi Universe. I get them pretty reguarly.

Avatar32 (Prodigy Member)

I've noticed that Sheridan has a nasty habit of falling/jumping
|
|
from high places. ("The fall of Night", "Z'Ha'Dum"). Is there a
|
|
certain symbolism behind that, do you feel? Something that gives
|
|
us a hint to the captain's eventual fate?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)

I think JMS could answer that better than I. That's a question I'm

I don't think there will be a difference. It will be a seamless

Mr. Boxleitner, what of Tron? I suggest it is more applicable now
|
|
than in the 80's.
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
Certainly, because the computer and computer language was still not
|
|
as common as it is today. That's one of the reasons I believe Tron
|
|
wasn't as popular back then as it is today.

I've heard many things about how hard it is to work with green

and interact with enviroments that don't exist around you, and how
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)

|
I have to often yes, but I don't find them particuarly difficult.

An actor's job is to use his imagination and that's what's required

with blue screen.

Mr. Boxleitner, how do you compare a series that has a story arc,

like B5, compared to series where they do not have an arc? Do you
|
|
prefer the arc, or non-arc?

Hi there Bruce...I like the show B5 alot...in my opinion, you give

Star Trek a run for the money. I believe it is the human
|
|
interaction which is good as well as killer effects, most excellent
|
|
computer aninm. I'm really happy you got another season. I'd
|
|
really like to know, will B5 still be shown on UPN & will there be
|
|
another season after this one? I really hope so. Wish you the

best...Cy

Bruce do you know if Babylon 5 will be released on video tape? And
|
|
now that TNT owns the rights, is this a Ted Turner issue...
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I know it will be eventually, but I don't know when.

Are you still planning on attending a convention in Philly over
|
|
Labor Day weekend? I hope so because I'm going just to see you!
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I hope to, but I just recently learned that some of the payment
|
|
might not be in place and if they don't live up to their part of
|
|
the contract, I can;'t live up to mine.

How does "Babylon 5" compare with "Buck Rogers"? In terms of
|
|
writing, acting, expenses, intelligence.
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I don't think Buck Rogers and Babylon 5 are comparable. Were two
|
|
different concepts.

Well, time to wrap it up... Here's our final question for Bruce...
|
|
|
|
cooldude5 (Prodigy Member)
|
|
how many seasons do you think/know Babylon 5 will last?
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
I think this 5th season and then I think certainly the spin-off
|
|
Crusade is very very possible and the saga can live on.
|
|
|
|
Bruce Boxleitner (Speaker)
|
|
My wife has dinner on the table for me, so I've got to say so long.
|
|
I appreciate everyone and all your questions. So thanks for your
|
|
continued support of the show. We promise to do our very best to
|
|
give you the best show we possibly can.
