I am profoundly moved by the sheer decency and compassion displayed by Mr. Straczynski in dealing with his friend, and the generosity and courage exhibited by Mr. O'Hare in thinking of his friends and their careers.

I'm a huge fan of Babylon 5, and now I've got immense respect for J. Michael Straczynksi, not just for his work, but as a person.

He's one of the great sci-fi writers, right up there with _Clarke_ and _Asimov_ and _Bradbury_. There's always at least two stories in each story he tells! Wish he would write _even more_ hard sci-fi stories, scripts and treatments than he does.

As a fan with my own serious mental health problems, I think my respect for JMS just quadrupled.

I met Michael O'Hare some years back and wee chatted very briefly. He was a friendly pleasant guy.

I was always in the minority but I thought O'Hare did a great job as Sinclair. I greatly enjoyed his chemistry with Catherine Sakai and Garibaldi and I was sad to see him go. You will be missed.

So sad... it's incredible to look at the calm and measured performance he gave in season 1, now knowing what he was going through. RIP, Michael - and thanks for letting us know the real story of why you left.

o'hare was a hero imho. i suffer from depression and anxiety. JMS is a great human being. he went out of his way for his actor. other people in the entertainment business just care about the money and don't gibe a crap about the actors/actresses.

This is such a sad story. Both O'Hare and Straczynski are real heroes for the way they helped each other out. I just watched the final episode of season 1 again : Sinclair's, and the season's, final words, are "nothing's the same anymore".

What a shame. Loved B5 and didn't know why he'd left.

Having suffered from a lesser form of mental illness for all of my life, I would describe it as an internal struggle that lasts a lifetime. A war inside that never ends. I cannot imagine the war that was being waged inside Michael O'Hare's mind and heart. And it's heartbreaking to really think of how hard he fought in that war to rebuild his life, only to fall horribly one last time.

wow I never knew. I was told by an insider there were problems but not what it was. Kudos to JMS for keeping the secret and helping so much and Kudos to Micheal for working so damn hard to complete that first season

My sister suffered from this -Alas she is never been the same and lost the battle with hers, though she is still with us, just. I understand his dilemma but I admire him for sticking with his friend and being there for him.
