Letters of Note hat ein Memo aus dem Jahr 1987 vom damaligen TV-Chef von Paramount das Casting von Star Trek: The Next Generation betreffend. Und falls da draußen irgendwo ein Paralleluniversum existiert, wird dort Captain Picard von Patrick Bauchau gespielt, Ryker von Michael O'Gorman und Wesley Snipes ist Geordi. Oder so. Snip aus dem Transkript:
"The above actors will be brought in to read for Gene Roddenberry starting next week. However, Patrick Bauchau did come in to read for Gene today for the role of "Picard." His reading was well received; he and Patrick Stewart seem to be the favorites for the role of "Picard." For the role of "Ryker," Michael O'Gorman seems to be a favorite. He's sort of an atypical choice for the role, however, a good one. Denise Crosby seems to be the only possibility for the role of "Troi" at this point; the same for J.D. Roth for the role of "Wesley." There are several contenders for "Tasha," "Geordi," and "Data." However, Rosalind Chao seems to be a favorite for "Tasha"; Reggie Jackson for "Geordi"; and Mark Lindsay Chapman for "Data." Letters of Note: Star Trek/Casting
