Bio of the week: Peter Jurasik - Peter is, of course Londo Mollari on Babylon 5. His credits go back to the seventies and he’s made appearances on many television shows. His other most noted role is as Sid the Snitch on Hill Street Blues in the 1980s. He lives in Wilmington, NC and teaches acting at UNC Wilmington. Here is his official website, though it does seem to be dated. He co-wrote a novel about a man playing at alien who is kidnapped by aliens believing he is the character he plays.
