According to the B5 Moderated newsgroup, Tim Choate (Zathras on B5 and Pollix on Crusade) died yesterday in a motorcycle accident.

That's Paul Winfield, Rick Biggs and now Tim Choate all in one year. Definitely not a good year for B5 fans...

Gordo was one of my favorite "characters" in The Right Stuff.

But on that glorious day in May 1963, Gordo Cooper went higher, farther, and faster than any other American - 22 complete orbits around the world; he was the last American ever to go into space alone. And for a brief moment, Gordo Cooper became the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen.

Assuming you're referring to IMDB, it's just a way of separating multiple people with the same names. Generally the lower the Roman numeral, the more generally famous, though it's really based on when they were entered into the database, so it can vary.
