Koenig is a rare actor in the TV world, especially in sci-fi. He's one who's had not one but two memorable and important roles. Chekov from ST and Mr. Bester from Babylon 5. He was the best villian and if anyone hasn't seen him play a vicious and twisted bad guy (which shows he can act), then watch B5. Hell, watch B5 anyway...it's only one of the best sci-fi shows ever made and the reason we're getting shows like BSG today. JMS (B5's creator) wrote the back cover of Koenig's autobiography and said it all. Lightening can, indeed, strike twice! My hat's off to Walter! He is truly a class act! (And I agree, I want to see him don Psi-cop black once more! Hopefully, in a Lost Tales DVD or better yet in a B5 feature film!) CE To John Ross and Garovorkin: You’re both right.

It was to sign autographs that put him at the Blockbuster in the first place... But, I see what you mean. Perhaps he was just having a bad day. Seriously, some fans do tend to pester the bejesus out of these stars, ao I can understand when they come off as more than al ittle gruff... #46

His endorsement of this film is one more sign that it's going to be truly special.

He does seem very intelligent; it's just that the time I met him (and I did NOT pester him for an autograph, by the way) he was just...mean! At least I didn't tell him what I really felt about his acting. But if others had a good experience...great! Maybe I met him on a very bad day. Either way, whether he was nice or not, my opinion of his acting hasn't changed yet (and I've seen both parts of "Of Gods And Men"). Maybe if I saw "Inalienable", I'd see a different aspect to him. I hear it's quite good. And it's star, Richard Hatch is very good to his fans (I've met and talked with him a few times). So, I might check it out for the other people involved in the production. Here's to changed opinions, I hope! #43. He does seem very intelligent; it’s just that the time I met him (and I did NOT pester him for an autograph, by the way) he was just…mean!

See, this is what makes me think he's a liar, liar, pants on fire. It may well be that he *has* been to the set, maybe even to film a cameo. Sure looks like everyone else and the vacuum salesman has already been there! I don't mean to start this whole debate again. And anyway, Shatner or not, I'm pumped for this movie. #41.

I met Mr. Koenig during an autograph signing at a Blockbuster about a hundred years ago. There I got a Generations Chekov figure signed by him. (BTW. I still have it. Still in the package). He seemed friendly enough. By his comments I see that he is a class act, not to just parrot what has been said above. He doesn't strike me as simply looking out for his own interests when he speaks of TOS and Star Trek in general. He seems reverent and respectful, but not "whatsinnitforme?" like some of the others do. #17
