Babylon Podcast #156: Interview with Russ Johnson

May 21, 2009 by Summer 6 Comments

Interview: We have found the First Vorlon! Russ Johnson, who wore the glide suit during Season 1, before Jeffrey took over the electraglide harness, joins us to reminisce about the early days on set at Babylon 5, and trying to one up each other for… something smelly?

Russ tells us all about the fun he had as part of Optic Nerve, escapades in both the encounter suit and as the drug-dealing cricket in Down Below, having to repeatedly tell TV fans that he was not the actor who played the Professor on Gilligan’s Island, and more.

They are all Kosh

We are all Kosh

Another, very rare photo from the Vorlon archives. This is Jeffrey, Gabe Lozano (from Optic Nerve), and Ardwight Chamberlain. Collectively, THEY were Kosh.

Babylon Podcast #108: Interview with George Johnsen

April 16, 2008 by Summer 5 Comments

Interview: This week, George Johnsen, Babylon 5 co-producer (and apparently one of Jeffrey’s cohorts in mischief), at last joins us! We talk to George about the show, including some of the questions sent in by listeners, and the anecdotes and production details are both fascinating and fall-down funny.

Did you know George was also an original Cylon? Summer didn’t, and that just warms her heart.

Babylon Podcast #102: Interview with John Warner, Key Grip

March 5, 2008 by Summer 8 Comments

Interview: John Warner, Best Boy and Key Grip on Babylon 5, joins us to talk about his time on set, and making sure everyone’s lit correctly and all the cameras move where they need to, and manipulation of the sets.

So head on down to your nearest production, and if it’s safe to get into the studio, go hug a key grip for all that they do.
