Brian Brophy didn’t return?

Warp drive was invented so that Brophy could get to stores and buy beer faster before the Super Bowl.
 
So apparently Robert Meyer Burnett was also expecting Brian Brophy to return for the role:

I love the replies. "Perhaps it's best he stayed away from this tragedy..." As if Brian Brophy looked at the script and said "No. This isn't real Star Trek. I, Brian Brophy the theatre director at CalTech, will not lower myself to such amateurish online drivel. Good day, sir."
 
But Brian Brophy is the face of Bruce Maddox in the novel Immortal Coil - at least for me. I know, this novel will never be put onscreen. But if it were a two-part episode, Brophy must be involved.... together with Brent Spiner of course.

To be honest, he's who I pictured in "The Last Best Hope" as well. Partly, well, because I haven't seen the show yet so I had no other frame of reference.

Kind of like "The Enterprise War". I read it before seeing season 2 of Discovery so I kind of defaulted to "The Cage" when visualizing the characters, except for the Discovery original characters like the Admiral (what's her name again?). I have to admit that was a bit weird. Thinking mostly of "The Cage" except when he's talking to the Admiral when I have to think of Discovery.

Brophy loved the script until he got to the part where Maddox died. When he saw the writers had such "sheer **** hubris" in killing one of the most famed and beloved characters in the history of fiction :eek: (just look at the size of this thread!), he realized they went too far and wanted no part of it.
