"The One Who Will Be" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Elgin, Illinois

Bruce Boxleitner was born in Elgin, Illinios, just north of Chicago on May 12, 1950.

Answer: True

As far as JMS was concerned, Bruce *was* John Sheridan. He'd thought of others but Bruce was his man. He knew the audience would expect one thing given Bruce's previous work but he would show them something entirely different.

Answer: Yes

You can notice it every time he uses his link or writes something but his handedness is most noticeable when he is eating dinner with Lennier and Delenn for the first time and he attempts to eat with his left hand and must be corrected.

Answer: Silver Star

Because of Sheridan's destruction of the Black Star, he won the Silver Star for valor from the Earth Alliance and the title of "Starkiller" from the Minbari Federation.

Answer: Luke Skywalker

In a VERY memorable "Vibe" interview on the E! Television network, Bruce said that he actually tried out for the part of Luke Skywalker. Here's a website with interesting insight into this: http://www.blueharvest.net/cast/#bruce

Answer: Freakdaddy

In the same "Vibe" interview, Bruce's wife, Melissa surprised him with this startling admission. One can't help but wonder HOW he got that nickname.

Answer: Almond Joy

This comes from an internet chat several years ago. What more can I say except that sometimes you feel like a nut and sometimes you don't.

Answer: True

The "SMK"/"B5" fans out there could not have missed Peter as a guest star in that classic 1980's spy show ("Scarecrow and Mrs. King") but the easy answer here is "Tron." In "Tron," Bruce played Tron/Alan while Peter played the program Crom.

Answer: David Warner

It's almost as if David is following Bruce around. First I saw him on "Zoya" (Starring Boxleitner and Melissa Gilbert) then he popped up on "B5" (Aldous Gajic in "Grail") then I see he's in "Tron" too? Sheesh...

For the record, David played Ed Dillinger/Sark/Master Control Program in "Tron."

Answer: A potato

According to an interview in his "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" days, 'The One Who Will Be' almost fell victim to a scalding hot baked potato.

Answer: cooking

In "Racing Mars," ISN is the only channel that is not jammed. Sheridan paces in front of his vid screen checking several others, including the adult channel.

Answer: Io

If you'll remember, Sheridan saw her throw a telepath out of a third story window on Io.

Answer: Mars food riots

When Sinclair returns to the station, Sheridan tells him that he has not seen him since the "Mars riots", alluding to the food riots on Mars. This most likely is a major cause for the resistance reluctance to accept Sheridan as a leader during the civil war.

Answer: Michael Landon

Melissa Gilbert sees Michael Landon (of "Little House on the Prairie" fame) as a father figure and so their son was named after the late actor. Bruce *does* have a son Lee, reportedly named after "Scarecrow" Lee Stetson but he's not the youngest.

Answer: Black

In an online chat several years ago Bruce would have us believe that only he knows the color or John Sheridan's socks. But if you watch "A Race Through Dark Places." After his date, Sheridan must share his office with Ivanova to sleep in. He takes off his jacket and shoes and leans back in the chair with his feet up and there are those black socks.

He might argue that John was wearing dress socks for his date but I know what I saw.

Answer: Oranges

Sheridan has an affinity for oranges probably due to the fact that he was raised on an orange orchard.

Answer: Yes

There are at least two occasions where we are told that Sheridan snores. The first one occurs after Ivanova and Sheridan have shared a room together and she tells him "Captain, either you snore or last night we had a HELL of a breach in the hull!" The other is when Sheridan falls asleep while meditating at Delenn's dinner table and Lennier refers to the "sound" he was making.

Sheridan immediately snaps back that he does NOT snore.

Answer: Shorter hair

I guess Lorien not only saves from the dead but also runs a barber shop down there. I'm not complaining, though, that short hair worked a lot better for him if you ask me.

Answer: 5

In "The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari" Sheridan appears in Londo's vision first wearing his EF uniform, then the uniform pants but no jacket, then the "Army of Light" uniform, then the Entil'Zha uniform and lastly white robes. Each of these reflect a period in Sheridan's life.

Answer: Lochley

This quote is actually from "Crusade' and is part of a conversation between Lochley and Gideon. Lochley asks Gideon if he believes in a supreme being *other* than John Sheridan, the "wisest, bravest, sexiest man in the galaxy." =)
