ST Stars would be interested...

...in reprising their roles.

So just got back from STNJ, and interestingly enough the stars are interested. Michael Dorn said he wants to bring back Worf. When asked if he would do it for STO, he said, "Yes...for a million dollars." Pretty sure he was kidding.

Nana Visitor said she would love to reprise her role, if she could work with the same writers and crew. I see a possibility here.

Gates McFadden was asked if she'd do it for STO, and she said yes. This would take some thinking, maybe a similar transporter accident ala Scotty.

I'd like to see Cryptic put out the feelers, I mean what's it gonna hurt. Find out what these celebs want, if it's too much, pass. I know for a fact, if you can get Michael Dorn a ride in an unusual plane, he'll do it for next to nothing.

    I'd like to see Michael Dorn. Worf needs a voice, considering he's the canon character that you interact with the most with. As well as being the only canon character in a social zone.

    Carolyn Seymour she played Taris in TNG, get her to do a voice over for Taris in game since she comes back....she does Voice over work for video games....she's Doctor Chakwas in Mass effect...and some other characters in TOR.





    Or bring back Toreth for the Republic I'm sure she would love to get back at the Tal Shiar for her father

    Well, Michael Dorn's done videogame VOs before, so he'd probably do well enough, the KDF could use a familiar voice, and it's already established in-game Worf's still alive, kicking and interacting with the KDF players.

    And I'd love it if they could get Dwight Schultz to voice commander Barclay when the time comes for them to update the Federation tutorial. Provided that will include the Academy, of course. It would be a perfect fit.

    Neither needs any time travel or transporter accidents to work, which is always a big plus. Contrived cameos just kind of make me groan whenever I encounter them.

    And, just throwing this out there, Jeffrey Combs did the mad scientist in The Secret World, so... who knows. Maybe someone found a brush with one of Weyouns' hairs in it or something. (What? That's not contrived. That's canon!) :rolleyes:

    And if Kate Mulgrew's up for it, I'm available for a mission to finally help admiral Janeway move into her new residence at 4028 Facility boulevard (It's code! Ixnay on the ifesentencelay. Keep it quiet or she'll turn into a dragon.)

    Would it? She's not exactly ancient, and she was still alive and very well in All Good Things, which (supposedly) happens 14 years prior to the game's storyline. It's not a stretch to bring her back.

    I don't know, though. Canon characters making appearances are dangerous territory. They need to be doing something interesting, unlike Worf who sits in a back room moping in one mission and stands around on Q'onos the rest of the time. Given Cryptic's writing in the past and it only becoming marginally passable lately, they'd probably fail to live up to the expectations.

    So according to Memory Alpha, Dr. Crusher was 55 at the time of Nemesis. Taking the year of her birth at 2324, and the year, according to MA, of 2379 for Nemesis. Add 30 years for STO, she'd be 85. Not a stretch, but she'd be up there in age.

    Definitely not a stretch, I mean McCoy visited the Enterprise-D and he was in his mid 100's. Technology baby, keeping us alive longer.

    I'm sure all the actors would love to reprise their roles in STO. However, there is one major problem ............... Cryptic's budget.

    They said time and time again that they love for the cast to reprise their roles, but to pay for their services comes at a massive cost. Then you have to factor in the STO team would have to make a storyline awesome enough for them.

    Though it's been suggested the last time this was brought up of perhaps something like kickstarter for the fanbase to fund the voice acting. So we never know.

    I am sure they could get a few of the actors to reprise their roles for a fair price....or even free depending on the actor.

    As Radkip pointed out in All Good Things, she was captain of the Pasteur, an Olympic class vessel. Which you know we do have in-game. Even at fleet level.

    I think Dr. Crusher would be a great addition to STO.

    You'd need no such thing. All good things takes place in 2395, just 14 years prior to STO and Crusher is still serving in starfleet at that time! She'd be 85 years old at this point, drastically younger than 137 year old Leonard McCoy was in TNG. I'm sure she's still in good health today ;)

    I'd like to see Andrew Robinson who played Garak. Garak is still on Cardassia as a leader of sorts and in the STO novel its implied he may be in cahoots with Franklin Drake.

    Manu Intiraymi who played Icheb. He's in game so why not have a voice over? He could be a leader of a Liberated Borg Faction along with Hue and Seven. Priority One did an interview with him and he was all for being involved.

    Rom (can't remember actor's name) is Grand Nagus he could be the voice of the Ferenghi.

    Ciroc Lofton he was also in the STO novel as a well respected reporter.

    Jeffrey Combs who played Shran and Weyoun. I loved Weyoun a voice over would be fantastic!

    Michelle Forbes who played Ensign Ro Laren on TNG.

    I say to get the lesser known actors since they'd be cheaper and get us more bang for the buck and many would have much more room for development then the more established characters.

    The game has set precedence with Lita. Any previous character, whether alive or dead, can "reappear" as a holograph.

    Dr. Crusher as a holo-doc, sure, but I think the really cool way to go would be a holographic Reg Barclay engineer. It seems a natural step that holo-addicted Barclay at some point would preserve his youth and essence via holography. The question would be whether holo-Barclay keeps his creator's eccentricities, or does Reg give him the bold confidence (and taller status) that he himself had while in the holodeck?

    And honestly - Robert Picardo.

    One of [if not] my favourite characters. Plus - dude was a hologram - no chronological [read: aging] issues there.

    Be nice to see if all those "unused" EMH's are still diggin the in the mines... :)
