Bio of the week: John Vickery
John Vickery was the Minbari warrior caste poster boy and adversary of Delenn until he was neither but was a hero. He was also Mr. Welles, who was quite hilarious in a Crusade episode. He also worked on Star Trek. Oddly enough, he was the voice of Legolas in an NPR production of Lord of the Rings. Born in California, Vickery was educated at UC- Davis then studied acting in London. He is a stage actor as well in a television actor.
