Nope, although this is the first I've heard of it.  I'm not a media
person I do written SF for the most part, B5 was an anomaly so I don't
really pay much attention to the entertainment industry (other than
getting really irritated at them due to what they're trying to do to
everyone with a computer)

Yeah, actors in features often get it.  And I'm told that some TV shows have
done so as well.

Anyway...old news now.
