It's so bizarre to read this in the present, knowing how incredible TNG was, but I get it - the original crew WAS Star Trek to them.
The dedicated fans revived this series in syndication, well after it had gone off the air in 1969, and felt attached to the characters that they had obsessed over between then and the 1980s. Like modern fans, they thought that departure from what they knew would ruin it.
I wish I could go back in time and tell them that TNG is going to rock.
I think he was just an extra in the movie Excalibur before TNG, outside of stage.
Edit: """"extra"""" in extra quotes forgive me it's been over a decade since I saw the movie.
How dare you disrespect Gurney Halleck like that?
His boss was a captain too
lol he wasn't an extra.. he had a hugely important role.. he was Guenevere's father for crying out loud, they fought a huge battle at his castle and everything.. he tries to draw the freaking sword itself!!
edit: i'm sorry i love that film a little too much
Wasn’t he also in the original version of Dune?
yeah and he's awesome
The picture in the article is him as Gurney in Dune.
Oh shit you're right. Never saw that one though.
You are missing out. I love that movie. People call it a train wreck and tbh it kinda of is, but for me, the lynch’s weirdness jibes perfectly with the world that Herbert eventually creates. Tonally it felt right.
I never understood the hate
He was in the original Dune too.
He was great as Sejanus in I, Claudius.
He was in I, Claudius. He’d been in stuff.
He wasn't well- known, but had had a bunch of assorted roles on TV and movies.
