Only 61 years old. ☹ He was one of my favorite Buffy Baddies. [News here](http://www.upi.com/blog/2013/02/06/Robin-Sachs-Buffy-the-Vampire-Slayer-actor-dead-at-61/7611360175536/) ---

He should never have made all those deals with all those demons. It was bound to catch up with him eventually. ETA: never realized he was also the heavy in \*Galaxy Quest \*until now. ---

_ **Ethan Rayne:** I’ve really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It’s the stay-‘n’-gloat that gets me every time._ RIP Robin. ---

I’m friends with Robin’s brother (we used to work together), so I heard about this a few days ago. Very sad news. ---

I only knew him as Sarris. Still, he was great in that role. ---

Wow, that’s sad to hear. Excellent in Buffy and really good in Galaxy Quest as well. ---

He was also a Minbari in Babylon 5. He was the one throwing shade at Lennier when Delenn was all up in her cocoon. He was great!
