Biggs, who played Dr. Stephen Franklin on the 1994-98 series and in three subsequent TV movies, died Saturday, his Website said. He was 44.
In a message posted to a Babylon 5 newsgroup Saturday, show creator J. Michael Straczynski said paramedics who treated Biggs suggested the cause of death was "either an aneurysm or a massive stroke."
"What seems to have happened, happened quickly," Straczynski wrote. "He woke up, got up out of bed...and went down."
In addition to his tour of galactic duty on Babylon 5, Biggs was well-known to daytime TV audiences as an earthbound medic, playing Dr. Marcus Hunter on NBC's Days of Our Lives from 1987 to 1992. His stint earned him a Soap Opera Digest Award as Best Supporting Actor.
Since 2001, Biggs had a recurring role on CBS' Guiding Light.
