Oct.
12, 1998 Hello
old friends! Thank
you for visiting Kosh.org and for supporting
KOSHKLUB. Webmaster Dennis and Klubprez Silvia have
done a fantastic job pulling KOSHKLUB together and
I appreciate their efforts. My
goal with this posting is to inform you of past,
present and future events that I think you might
find interesting. I hope to continue the
traditions of the Vorlon Perspective that I wrote
for the Babylon 5 magazine. I'll try to
always give you the behind the scenes
view. For
those of you who might be new to all this B5 stuff,
I'm Jeffrey Willerth. I
had the great fortune to write every episode of
Babylon 5. No wait, I directed every episode
... yeah that's it! No wait.
Writing and directing were
about the only two things I didn't do on B5. But if
JMS would have just done the sixth season, I
probably could have! During
the five seasons of B5, I was a background extra,
playing every human and alien imaginable ... a
stand-in ... stuntperson ... an actor (Ambassador
Kosh) ... a production assistant ... B5 fan club
director ... B5 website developer ... producer's
associate ... and production company
flirt. I'm
very proud of my accomplishments at Babylonian,
honored to have met the cast and crew, cherish the
friendships that were made, and proud to have been
part of one of the most innovative programs ever
broadcast. In August, I joined a long
and distinguished list of talented professional who
had been asked to leave the show, after
participating in the series preproduction and
production of the first two episodes of
Crusade. After
five seasons of dedication and a zero ceremony
departure (bitter?..no!) I took a month just to
chill out, calm down and refocus on the
future. It was great to have a serious summer
vacation filled with quality time spent with my
extremely excellent girlfriend, Patricia Tallman,
and our purpose for living, son Julian. September
and October were spent working as a Visual Effects
Coordinator on two Miramax films, "I Still Know
What You Did Last Summer" and "The Faculty". I'm
about to travel to Utah for a few weeks to be with
Patricia while she works on a big movie. I
have several different projects in the works right
now, but none will start for a while, so I might as
well seize the chance to get away while I can,
right? As
I write this, we're only a few of days away from
VOR, Voice of the Resistance convention in Pomona,
CA. I expect it is going to be a huge show as
almost every B5 celebrity except JMS will be
there. I hope to update this every couple of
weeks, so I will report on my VOR adventures next
time, and start to answer your questions about B5
history then. Again,
thanks for the support! Jeffrey
