Yeah, my daughter saw that yesterday and let me know. Complications from diabetes from what I read.

Who needs a cart when Flounder's at the market?

What a great role in what is a movie I still stop to watch whenever I happen across it. Stephen Hurst was brilliantly cast -- an unknown who very nearly stole the show from some great comic actors. He went on to have an excellent career in television and seemed to be a genuinely nice guy who I was glad to see do well. He didn't have the great lines -- some of the funniest in the movie were directed at him instead of by him -- but his physical comedy and facial expressions were wonderful. God bless you, "Flounder," you'll live forever in that movie, for sure.

I know that most will remember him from Animal House, but I thought he did his best work in Babylon 5 as Vir Coto. The scene where a clairvoyant names his boss as a future emperor, and then him, is a priceless piece of sci-fi TV.

For some reason that show has not been picked up for syndication lately. I don't know if that is the choice of the writer or because certain folk object to some of the themes in the show.

My now gone old dog was named after his AH character.

That strategery has served me well.

Glad I'm not alone.

I agree with LVSteve, his work on Babylon 5 was excellent. Goodbye, Mr. Furst.

His best role was as "Vir" on "Babylon 5".

...but it's a great way to go through college!

For me, he will always be Vir Cotto on Babylon 5.

Here is one of my favorite scenes, where he tells Mr Morden what he really wants

Dr. Elliot Axlerod on the great hospital drama St. Elsewhere is also one of Mr. Furst's credits. RIP
