No lie, he seems like such a cool dude. If I were in the area, I'd totally go to see him. And while I first knew him as Chekov, I grew to love him as Al Bester on Babylon 5, truly some of his best work!

Bester was so punchable, yet somehow sympathetic. He really nailed the role.

As Chekhov it was like yeah okay I get what they were going for. But as Bester he really stole every episode of B5 he was in. Bravo, Walter. I wish more folks gave B5 a chance. Looking at you, sis 👀

Signature is worth more when you can’t get it anymore.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

As if I could ever sell it if I had it. That would be framed and on my wall.

Can never be too safe. You know what, just go ahead and triple frame that.

[-] teft@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

I see you have the lobes for business.

Is there something I should know about his health?

[-] r2vq@lemmy.ca 22 points 10 months ago
[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

I'm pretty sure it's just because he's 86.

[-] ButtholeSpiders@startrek.website 18 points 10 months ago

I figured it was a hilariously macabre joke, I wish I lived in the area to get his signature.

[-] sj_zero@lotide.fbxl.net 8 points 10 months ago

If he wore a wig like bill he'd look like he hasn't aged!

[-] Kushan@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

My two partners and I took a bet on which of the OG cast would die next: Walter, George or Bill. I have Walter and now I feel kind of guilty 😅

Absolute legend!

He forced our ̶h̶a̶n̶d̶ finger

[-] zephyrvs@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

What a graceful statement from him. Damn. 😭

[-] Corgana@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yeah this isn't a real tweet

EDIT: apparently it is but can't be seen without an x account

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It is, but I think it's posted to followers only (if Twitter works that way) because I can only see it while logged in.

[-] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

Twitter through a browser no longer sorts by most recent. It’s almost impossible to find anything without a login.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Oh, that might have been it too. I'm no expert on using twitter.

[-] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 4 points 10 months ago

I avoid it as much as possible, and don’t even really lurk much at this point.

I just wish that some of the Twitter users who set up Mastodon accounts last fall would keep them up as actively as they do Twitter.
