When she portrayed "Lyta Alexander" in the Hugo Award-winning sci-fi series Babylon 5, Patricia Tallman was the most powerful telepath in the universe. Seems fitting, considering that the actress knew she was going to be in show business at the early age of two. It was then that she first appeared with her father, Jerry, on his midwest radio show, soloing on "Bicycle Built for Two."

Patricia Tallman: (talking about the appeal of the "Babylon 5" characters) It's a tribute to Joe (Straczynski) for having written characters that have a real journey. Nobody is 100% good, no one is 100% bad. There's something likable about each of them and there's something hateful about each of them....or at least irritating.
