Andrew Robinson was almost Odo

I think you are taking my comment seriously. Of course, Andrew Robinson probably would have done it differently. It was in jest.

 

I am glad to hear it, er, read it.

 

Yes. But you have to admit it...if Marina Sirtis got Crosby's gig, Lt. Hernandez would have turned out differently...

 

I can't picture Marina Sirtis as a martial art expert.

Who's Lt. Hernandez?

 

Sirtis' character if she had gotten Crosby's spot...

 

You mean because she has dark hair they would have given her a Latino name? It's the 24th century, for Pete's sake!

 

Don't tell me that!. Tell Roddenberry or whoever back in 1987...

 

No, the character was originally conceptualized as an homage to Private Vazquez. When they switched the actors into different roles, the names changed.

 

You don't mean Vazquez from Aliens, do you? She was a brave woman!

 

That's the one. GR was not alone in being impressed, and he wanted to go further with that type of character.

 

They should have hired the actress, she was very good.

I was amused when I saw her on Titanic, playing a very different role.

 

Technically, they did.

 

Yes, I remember that one. But I was thinking of something more consequential.
