he was on murphy brown for a while, also he was in the excellent american beauty last year. i agree, they have usually gone for no-name actors for the major parts and hired name actors for bit parts. guinan may be whoopi goldberg's best role ever, at least since her broadway show.
but a lot of the acting has been "standard tv acting" which really bothers me.
but the main thing is, and i don't know so please tell me, since roddenbury's death there seems to be something bigger broken with the whole thing, there doesn't seem to be much vision. once in a while i would watch a ds9 or voyager to see if i was missing anything. i wasn't.
i am really rooting for the franchise, as i would like to see it come back. and also, i am on the side of trek in the "star trek versus star wars" thinking, i can't stand fairy tales and goober child-like aliens with pseudo-religious overtones. i want real people put in difficult dramatic situations, with technology and futurism as the final coat of paint.
