Actors who were photographed almost like Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek to Patrick Stewart

in An interview in 2020 with the Hollywood Reporter newspaperThe actor Patrick Stewart recalled the frustration he faced While working with Jin RodnberryStar Trek Carterie: The next generation. Roddenberry does not want to want Stewart to play the role of Captain Jin Luke Picard, and hated the fact that he was bald and not keen on the fact that he is English. When Roddenberry visited the “Star Trek” group, Stewart recalls he was treated with cold, and he received little of the actual direction of the man. Stewart sought to discuss Captain Picard with Rodnberie at lunch, but this was not a very useful meeting; Roddenberry only advised Stewart to read Cs Forster’s Horatio Hornblower novels. As the creator of the series said, “Everything is there.” It is not useful in a terrible way.

However, the public public did not participate in Stewart. Captain Picard has become a favorite character of fans very quickly, as Trekkies responded to Stewart’s commander and the innate intelligence of Picard for diplomacy. It didn’t take long before Trekkies argued that Picard may have been a better leader than Captain Kerk (William Shatner) from the original “Star Trek”.

But if Roddenberry and other cast managers had their way, another person would have been photographed as Jean-Luc Picard. In fact, on April 13, 1987, Paramount John Ferraro produced a note to Paramount President John Pike, a list of their wishes for the final contestants for all the roles of “Star Trek: the next next generation”. Memorandum (Easily published by a segment of science fiction in 2006There were some fun surprises. For example, Wesley Snipes appears to have been looking at Geordi La Forge.

While Patrick Stewart was the best choice for Perekard, there was also a consideration from Mitch Ryan, Roy Tellnis and Patrick Pocao, and the most exciting, Jaffet Coto.

In 1987, Roy Tirins may have been known to the science fiction fan of a championship in the Larry Cohen series “The Invaders” as Kadivid Vincent, who reveals a foreign plot on the ground. The general public may know him for its abundant role in 45 episodes of the “General Hospital”. He was also praised for his role in “The Long Hot Summer”, and appeared in films like “Airport 1975” and “The Hindenburg”. He had a small role in a “beautiful mind” by Ron Howard and even back Three episodes of “X-Files” (viewed above). Thinnes was a reliable TV presence, and it was reliable and professional, so one can understand by Paramount he wanted.

There was also a consideration of Peckdard, Mitchell Ryan, the well -known personal actor who played the role of Greg Edward’s father on the comic play “DHARMA & Greg”. He was also in 107 episodes of “Dark Shadows”, playing Burke Devlin in the 1960s. Ryan was one of the prominent TV and the movie “Ya, he is this man!” Actors raise dozens and dozens of films and television credits in his career, including a “false liar” with Jim Curry. Ryan, compared to Stewart, was higher and more male, as she brought a cracker -like energy for his roles. However, Ryan was prolific, and he will eventually be withdrawn to “Star Trek” Fold, and the father of Will (Jonathan Frex) played in the “The Next Generation” episode “The Icarus Factor” (April 24, 1989).

Ryan Weins is an American actress, while Jean -Luc Picard is French. There were no French representatives in this role, although the memo reminds the Belgian actor Patrick Puchao. Bauchau was a representative of the new French wave, and even participated in both the new German wave films, both in the 1960s and 1970. He worked with éric Rohmer and WIM WENDERS. In America, it may be known in James Bond movie “A Look at Killing”. He would have attended an element of European development of this role.

Also in the Picard menu, Yaphet Kotto, “Alien” star, “Via 110 Street”, “The Running Man”, The James Bond Film “Live and Let Die” (we saw above), and many others. Kotto has also played one of the leading roles in the Life: Life On The Street. Early of his career, Kotto appeared in 10 episodes of “Bonanza”, 15 episodes of “Death Valley Days”, and 16 episodes of “Gunsmoke”. His career was wide and wide. The world lost a tremendous talent When he died in 2021.

Koto was not, just as one could see his film’s credits, strange to science fiction. In the movie “Alien”, he lived on a spacecraft and fought with a space creature, while “The Running Man” gave him the opportunity to work in a future pictorial hardship.

In 2015, Coto spoke with the Bigg caseHe asked him about the nearby brush with “Star Trek”. Koto remembers his refusal well, and he expresses a small amount of regret. Clear:

“I think I made some wrong decisions in my life, man. I should have done it, but I moved away. When you make films, you tend to say no to TV. It seems as if I was in college and someone asked you to dance in high school. You say no.”

For decades, television was seen as a “less” way than television, and film actors tended to stay away from TV programs. This was true even in late 1987, and Kotto did not want to give up any possible cinematic roles to adhere to a season of 26 episodes of “Star Trek”. Kotto is also very American, so it is not clear whether it will affect a French accent to play Jean -Luc Picard. At least, he would have obtained the right power.

But in the end, I think we can all agree that the fans of Captain Picard have ended until it was the best.
