Daily Birthdays and Events in Sci-Fi, Comics and related areas

February 1, 2011

Bill Mumy, Lost In Space, Babylon 5, Spider-Girl, Love and Rockets, Jonny Quest, The 4400, Gargoyles, Happy Feet, Automan, The Abyss, Tremors, Casper.

Most people don't know that Bill Mumy didn't start his sci-fi career with Lost in Space, in fact, it started 5 years earlier with The Twilight Zone. I liked his work in Lost in Space but was the most entertained when he played Lennier in Babylon 5.


Enjoy !!!
