Ko D’Ath (Mary Woronov) was intended to be a series regular as G’Kar’s assistant but the actress left the show after one episode: a hasty airlock accident was arranged and a new character, Na’Toth, was created to replace her. J Michael Straczynski stated:
We’d had to replace Mary Woronov with virtually no notice after we found that she really had a hard time with the narn prosthetics (wouldn’t wear the contacts, and other stuff).
The problems with actresses and Narn makeup did not end there. Susan Kellerman, the first actress to be cast as Na’Toth, quit during her first morning’s filming and her relacement Julie Caitlin Brown turned down the offer to continue in the role for the second season.
