Stephen Furst dead: Animal House and Babylon 5 actor dies, aged 63

Stephen Furst — best known for playing  Vir Cotto in Babylon 5 and Kent “Flounder” Dorfman in Animal House — has died aged 63 following complications with diabetes.

Furst’s sons, Nathan and Griffith, confirmed the news on Facebook, writing: “Steve has a long list of earthly accomplishments. He was known to the world as a brilliant and prolific actor and filmmaker, but to his family and many dear friends he was also a beloved husband, father and kind friend whose memory will always be a blessing.

“To truly honour him, do not cry for the loss of Stephen Furst. But rather, enjoy memories of all the times he made you snicker, laugh, or even snort to your own embarrassment. He intensely believed that laugher is the best therapy, and he would want us to practice that now.
