Walter Koenig on Joining the Cast of Babylon 5

TVC 530.5: Walter Koenig talks to Ed about how playing Bester on Babylon 5, in some ways, brought his career full circle. Walter’s memoir, Beaming Up and Getting Off: Life Before and Beyond Star Trek, walks you through Walter’s growing up years as the son of Russian immigrants in 1940s Manhattan; his formative years as an actor with the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York (where Walter learned his craft alongside such classmates as Christopher Lloyd, Brenda Vaccaro, Jessica Walter, James Caan, and Dabney Coleman); his lifelong love of theatre; and his deep appreciation for the many opportunities that Star Trek continues to give him. Beaming Up and Getting Off: Life Before and Beyond Star Trek is available in hardcover and as an eBook through Jacobs Brown Media Group. Want to advertise/sponsor our show?
