This week we are featuring Sarah Silva. She has some gorgeous portraits. There is no B5 gallery but she has quite a few of B5 characters and many from lots of other great shows and movies as well.
Bio of the week: Bill Mumy
Bill Mumy’s career started at the age of 6 and he’s never stopped. He was born and raised in California and has appeared in over 400 TV episodes. He’s probably best known as Will Robinson on Lost in Space. That’s certainly where I remember him from. He was Lennier on Babylon 5, of course, and has done many other roles. Bill is also a musician and singer and still is quite active in music. He and Angela Cartwright wrote a book about their time on Lost in Space in 2015 and you can still buy it. I follow Bill and Face book and find him quite charming. He has a granddaughter named Presley Jane Mumy and posts losts of pics of her. He also has a website: http://www.billmumy.com
