Sinclair is gone, except for two guest appearances later in the show - one of them a brief video message. It’s actually quite a sad story about the actor, he tried his best, but he had increasingly severe mental health problems as season 1 went on. His “wooden” acting is him trying to keep hold of his own reality while pretending to be a character among aliens.
I actually liked O'Hare's attitude and demeanor as the boss of B5, didn't realize there was so much dislike of him playing that character during the first run.
The creator/showrunner JMS was a friend of that actor Michael O’Hare, and paid for a lot of his living expenses and psychological care after leaving the show. JMS offered to put the show on hold entirely until O’Hare felt well enough to take up the role again, but O’Hare was concerned that would hurt the show’s chances of lasting beyond season 1, so he stepped aside voluntarily. JMS never said a word of this until O’Hare’s death in 2012.
:alex-aware: Holy shit, I never knew that.

:rat-salute: To JMS, as a pretty awesome friend.
