Thing is, an actor needs something to act with, especially a good script, but also good direction. Bester is so much more of a character than poor Chekhov was ever allowed to be.
BTW, there used to be joke:
"You have been watching B5 too much if...
...you think Chekhov was really Bester on an undercover mission."
(There was a whole list of th at kind of thing - no idea where the site has disappeared to.)
