Peter Jurasik (born 25 April 1950, Queens, New York, U.S.) is an American actor best known for his television roles as Londo Mollari in the 1990s science fiction series "Babylon 5" and Sid the Snitch on the 1980s series "Hill Street Blues" and its short-lived spinoff "Beverly Hills Buntz".

Career

Among Jurasik's guest appearances are an entomologist in one episode of MacGyver, CID investigator Captain Triplett in two episodes of "M*A*S*H", and Dr. Oberon Geiger on three episodes of "Sliders".

Jurasik also starred as Mitch Kline in the 1983 short lived CBS series "Bay City Blues".

His movie roles includes the film "Tron" (1982), with future "Babylon 5" co-star Bruce Boxleitner, and as Roy, the perfect father neighbor, in "Problem Child" (1990).

In 1998, he wrote "Diplomatic Act" (ISBN 0-671-87788-7) with William H.
