Joe,

First things first:

I have been watching B5 since the very beginning ...and had to fight off
those of my friends that insisted that it would never come to much.  But,
I have had the pleasure of experiencing some of the most rich and
interesting characters of ANY story that I've seen or read, and enjoyed
reminding some of those nay-sayers what they'd said.  Thank you for the
ride of a lifetime and a truly story.

And now the question:  

How did you pick / decide upon the actors who are presently involved in
the story?  And are you planning on appearances by "named - major" 
personalities in upcomming episodes?

Again, THANK YOU very much!

If by this you mean how do we cast the actors...the actor comes in and
auditions, reading dialogue for that character from a given episode.  The
one that comes in the door and is most what I saw in my head when I
created the character, gets the job.
