Hi Joe,
    The acting on B5 is really good. The characters have much more depth
than most shows, both sf and mainstream that I've seen. The actors are
all quite talented, but who works with them to give them that extra bit
of insight, or inspiration that they all seem to have, and what form
does the feedback take?


Best,
Gordon
Orlando, FL

On a day-to-day "What the hell does THIS mean?" basis, that would be me, or if
 I'm otherwise engaged, John Copeland.  On an episode-by-episode basis, that
 would be the director.

Most everything is covered in the script; if there are additional questions
 they can go to one of the above.  If I or someone else in that group has a
 note, we pass it on directly to the actor.
