Ben Murphy as William Riker

[lordsofelsewhen]

The star of alias smith and jones ,Ben Murphy was considered for the role of riker could he of pulled it off??

 

[Nerys Myk]

I liked him is Alias Smith and Jones. Gives off a different vibe than Frakes so his Riker would have been different.

When I think Riker, I think beard, and I don't think this guy could rock that beard.

 

[f14peter]

and Murphy is what, 10 years older than Frakes. Harder to pull off the younger faux ambitious Starfleet officer

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

Forget Ben Murphy, I'd want to see what Jeffrey Combs would do with the role!

He's really good in a Canadian show called Cardinal.
And The Rocketeer, obvs.

Billy played a great layered bad guy in The 4400.
