Interesting subject that could get a lot people talking
Any way my favorites are Claudia Chritian and Mira Furlan.

W. Morgan Sheppard played the SoulHunter and again as WarLeader G'Sten. However, I always remember him as Data's "Grandpa" in ST:TNG.
Marshall R. Teague played Ta'Lon and before that Nelson Drake in Infection. In Crusade he also played Captain Daniels in The Long Road.
There may be more, but that is all I could dig up for now.

i have to go with Mira. i don't think she over acted at all. the only times she could be accused of that are when the sence calls for a high emtion. i think too many actors underplay those sences for fear of being called overactors.
After that i would have to say:
Peter and Andreas, they were great and worked wonderful together.

Andreas Katsulas was definitely the best. He really *became* G'Kar. Peter Jurasik as Londo would be a close second.
Overall, there were no bad actors on the whole show, but to get downright picky there were several times that Claudia Christian, Michael O'Hare, or Bill Mumy would deliver a line that just didn't work for me. Also, Mira Furlan may be a great actress, but there were several times that either her strange facical expressions or her quivery weeping voice got on my nerves.
But again, no overall bad performances in all of B5. Even the support cast, recurring actors, and *most* of the guest stars were above average (except maybe in the 1st & 5th seasons). For a reasonable-budget sci-fi show that struggled for broadcasting throughout its existence, Babylon 5 had relatively excellent acting from top to bottom.

I think perhaps my greatest disappointment with Lorien was that Garibaldi never levelled him. And if you think *WE* were annoyed with Lorien, 50 credits says Garibaldi would have been the first to volunteer to punch, as you so eloquently put it, the "old alien wind-bag."

Acting is acting....Mira has had classical theatrical training. Oddly enough I think Jursik & Katsulas have both performed in theatricial productions.

I do not think all actor's can make the jump from one medium to the other.
And Mira's acting was the only thing that I found conviencing to make the love story work. Bruce's acting has "levels' but no depth. One thing that is taught in traditional acting classes are objectives...

Andreas Katsulus would be my pick for best actor.
My pick for worst actor is Tracy Scoggins as Lochely. I could not stand her. My friend referred to her as the Thigh Master Lady.
Although Andreas Katsulus is my choice for best actor I can't leave this post without saying that I love Jerry Doyle and the character of Garibaldi. He always made me laugh and I thought that Jerry Doyle did a great job.
------------------
No one here is exactly what he appears.

I have to agree that Andreas was the best, especially compared with the Tomalok character from TNG (although the nose should have given it away, someone had to tell me they were the same actor).
Peter was a very, very, very close second, and I base a lot of that on the scene where he was told that it was Morden behind Idira's death, not Refa. That one scene portrayed more emotion than I've ever seen in a scene and I FELT his anger and frustration, almost to the point of tears... I loved it when Morden got his comeuppance shortly afterward (and later with Vir's waving... note my image).
But I truly feel Mira Furlen was the third best actor. She protrayed ALL emotions throughout the series, as both a full Minbari and one that didn't know quite what she was. She could show compassion, understanding, love, grief, anger, and many more emotions (not all human BTW) all very convincingly. In many ways, I feel her character was the hardest to play, but she did an excellent job in playing it. I just loved it when she sashayed sideways out of a room, and she's a character I could have fallen for... she reminded me in some ways of Ingrid Bergman in "Casablanca," another one of my favorite leading ladies. I would love to see her in something else (without the bone), but I haven't found anything else easily rentable.
I agree with much of the back and forth discussions about O'Hare and Boxleitner. The former had a hard time showing emotions and the latter had a hard time not showing them (especially that annoying grin in S2).
The rest of the supporting cast was pretty damn good, but had their problems. Both Claudia and Richard Biggs had their share of overacting in the beginning, trying too hard, but that happens in the beginnings of most series (just look at TNG). I'm still trying to make up my mind about Pat Tallman... sometimes she was spot on, othertimes she came across as a valley girl. And Stephen Furst (along with Billy Mumy) probably grew the most in acting ability during the series... once I realized what he was doing, Furst did the best Woody Allen imitation I may have ever heard... whether he was doing it consciously or not, it was hilarious! And the way the show ended, when Sheridan saluted what was basically B5 TNG from the White Star, made me long for more episodes... if not directly, at least through Crusade. Let's just keep our fingers crossed we can see some of it through a LOTR series!

lovegaribaldi,
I'm with you on this one. Jerry Doyle brought the character of Garibaldi to life - perhaps even moreso when, according to rumors I've heard, he walked into the audition and said, "Hello; my name is Jerry Doyle, and I'm here to audition for the part I'm going to get," at which someone (I believe it was JMS) replied, "That's Garibaldi."
The critical draw for me into any movie, TV show, or book is an interesting character which I can believe in. For B5, that character was Garibaldi. He didn't trust other people easily, and he'd disect any attempt at misdirection with statements and questions that were little more than subtle traps intent on proving then intended misdirection, giving him reason to "take off the kid gloves." To me, Garibaldi was easily the most BELIEVABLE character in the series - meaning you're most likely to run into someone JUST LIKE HIM one of these days.
Jerry Doyle's performance cemented that character into a critical piece of the story for me.

wipster, Mira movies are few and far between other than Eastern Europe. The best one to find is called When Father Was Away on Business. It was a big international hit in 1986. The film was up for a Ocsar, and Mira won the Yugoslavian equivement of he Academy award for her performance. Her most recent film, Dear Video was directed by her husband, and that was in 1999.

My top choice for the best actor on the show is Andreas Katsulas, without question. He made you feel what G'Kar was feeling. His eyes alone showed his wide range of emotions. I don't know why he hasn't been more widely recognized as an actor either.
My second choice would have to be either Peter Jurasik or Mira Furlan. I think Jurasik's performance had a lot to do with his interaction with Katsulas. Most of the time he made you want to hate Londo, but there were other times when he made you sympathize with him or laugh at him.
Furlan was the perfect choice to play Delenn. There was something about the way she carried herself. She expressed herself very well in terms of the anger, sadness, hope, or happiness that Delenn was feeling.

I can't really begin to guess which of the actors was the best. I think almost all of the actors that played major characters played them well, Bruce, Jerry, Mira, Peter, Andreas, all of the major cast.

There are many threads here that say that Andreas is the best actor with Jurassik being the second. Now I completely agree that they are the top two actors, but for my money, I go with Peter. His character went through a much a higher range of emotion than G'Kar on the overall. G'kar went from profiteering nationalist to enlightened philosopher. Londo went from remorseful nationalist to power-hungry politician to weary leader all under manipulation. To me G'kar was deep down always a good guy (even in season 1), while Londo really had to fight hard the inner demons to shine through as a good guy and still didn't quite succeed with many people. I still also can't think of any character in TV that has made me laugh more than Peter Jurassik playing Londo.
I also have to give recognition to Jerry Doyle because he is not an actor by trade. He was a Wall-Street suit for ten years before he decided to take up acting. I think that the writing for his character really when great in tandem with Jerry's personality type.
Mira Furlan is a great actress, I seem to have heard that she has received some sort of academy award equivalent in Europe for best actress twice.
Actors I didn't think much of were Stephen Biggs, Stephen Furst, and Claudia Christian. Biggs was soap opera all the way, Furst was pretty much Flounder (Animal House) with a Centauri wig, and Christian was just bad and the blooper videos confirm that.

I'd have to vote for Mira Furlan. But they all were great. I liked them all, seriously.

There were also a number of great guest stars.
Most notably, Wayne Alexander did great jobs both as the Vorlon interrogater and as Lorien, not to mention the various other minor roles he played throughout B5.
Also, Wortham Krimmer (sp?), who played Emperor Cartagia, nailed the role, and made the character a memorable one.

As far as guest stars go, I always enjoyed seeing Marshall Teague as Ta'Lon. I was glad that he returned after "All Alone in the night" and given a name. Too bad we never saw how he did as G'Kar's replacement on B5.
I also liked Damian London as the Minister. I thought he was funny and was a very unique character in the sense that he didn't seek power or have any evil agenda. He was one of the few truly 'good' characters. I pitied how he died, as he didn't deserve what happened to him.
Another character that I wished we had seen more of was Lou Welch. He seemed to be pretty close to Garibaldi, and even wanted to kill Jack himself for what he did. Too bad his character just faded away. I thought David Crowley did good with the chance he was given.
