Better place for discussion I suppose

Trek actively gave opportunities to its actors in the TNG-VOY era to learn and try directing. The number of Main Cast actors who’ve got directing credits is pretty significant. The full list, along with the episodes they directed, is here: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Cast_members_who_directed
Of the TNG cast though, Jonathan Frakes, Levar Burton, Gates McFadden and Patrick Stewart all have at least one director’s credit in the series. Michael Dorn would also later do some DS9 and ENT episodes.
I wish I were Levar Burton.
I wish I were Levar Burton.
I only wanted a picture of Levar Burton! You can’t disappoint a picture!
One of Troy’s best moments.
RIP. Too soon.
For real…now I’m sad
they’re not taking about Levar Burton, they’re referencing a famous skit by Lance Reddick in the Eric Andre show.
*Geordi.
Burton directed over two dozen episodes across the Trek franchise. While Frakes is more prolific, ironically Burton directed my two favorite Riker episodes, “Second Chances” and “The Pegasus”.
Thank you for the correction. I’m rather ashamed of that one.
You can edit post titles in lemmy, just fix it
I already did
And yet you still misspelled it, lol. Geordi, not Gordie, not Jordie.
sigh
Even Worf misses with a torpedo or two. lol
Unless they are filled with trilithium resin, because you have to be really bad at your job to miss a planet.
The lighting looks surreal
He directed and guest stared in the 100th episode of Voyager, “Timeless,” where Geordi had been promoted to captain of the USS Challenger 15 years in the future. 100 is an important milestone episode, so you know the show runners has confidence in him as a director to assign him that episode.
