List of people who were considered for Star Trek: TNG roles

[dankrug572]

I just found this interesting article that shows a memo from 1987 about possible actors/actresses for various TNG characters. Check it out: http://gizmodo.com/5621958/wesley-snipes-was-almost-geordi-la-forge-and-other-star-trek-tng-casting-fun

y god I have no idea who 3/4 of these people are. Then again I guess if they wen't in TNG I wouldn't know who any of the TNG cast were either (except LeVar!)

Edit: imagine Sam Jackson as Geordi, he'd stare at the warp core and it would come back online. :)

I was going to post this yesterday I totally forgot.. here's s copy of the memo.

This memo went around the internet years ago.. looks like it's doing another round.

Rosalind Chao as Tasha?!!  :blink

[Rico]

Yep - that's always a fun look back.  And of course they eventually would flop the actresses picked for Tasha and Troi.  Denise becoming Tasha and Marina for Troi.

How about Wesley Snipes as Geordi? Couldn't quite picture THAT!

I also like how they spell Riker like the porn star.

Little scarey that you know that :)

Wow! Jenny Agutter as Crusher! That would be have been brilliant.  Love her.  Dr. Jessica 7....   ;)

I really can't see Wesley Snipes as Geordi working.
