Well, given that Refa has been around for two years, and Keffer
was only in a few in one season, I'd hardly put them in the same
league. Part of all this is how you define "major." Usually, I've
refrained from using that term...I would say someone you've seen since
the first year, for instance, or an important character.

Certainly I was primarily referring to Kosh in my original note
about all this...but a lot of folks took that and extended it past that
point, which I just let go rather than correct, because the show should
do any correcting.

Yeah, I think the message of mine you're referring to are the
ones I wrote with Kosh in mind, not Refa. But since I obviously
couldn't say that at the time, some of it sloshed over into how folks
viewed later episodes.

Yes, it was with the actor who plays Refa that I had that
conversation. He was initially bummed out, figured I was doing what I
was doing in "Rock" because I wasn't happy with his performance or
something. So I pulled him aside and explained the situation, and
indicated that we'd likely use him again as an alien character, under
prosthetics. If he hadn't done such a good job, this wouldn't have
happened, because no one would've cared about the character.

Thanks. When I thought of that one, I just sat there and
grinned. It's so perverse, but yet so appropriate, all at the same
time. Just to further add a bit of creepiness to it, in the sound mix
I had the editors verb up the music toward the fade out, so it had a
slightly distorted edge to it. The details are everything in a scene
like that.

> Do you have many folks who have played multiple roles?

Yeah, we've floated characters between human and alien from
time to time; we've used Wayne Alexander as a Narn, the actor who
played the Ombuds came back as the Markab doctor...we've basically got
a kind of alien rep company goig here.

He was the Narn who first met G'Kar on their homeworld; the
only one with any lines.

Wayne has a considerably larger role in year 4 as an alien
named Lorien.

No, the song is an old gospel song that goes 'way back.

Not that I'm aware of, no.
