Micheal Dorn is "Future Guy."

[T'Girl]

Probably half saw the Dodge Dart commercial a half dozen times before I realized that the man playing "Future Guy" was Dorn. Love his speaking voice, usually it's so booming.

[backstept]

it really annoys me that they used a different voice

 

[Nerys Ghemor]

Yeah, that's just wrong. That's like dubbing someone else's voice over James Earl Jones.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Well that solves all those nagging ENT questions!

 

[ALF]

So... that just leaves only Voyager that Dorn didn't appear in?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Well it was the Delta Quadrant. See, perfectly good excuse.

That didn't stop Jonathan Frakes...

That didn't stop Jonathan Frakes...

Or Levar Burton, or Armin Shimmerman or Dwight Schultz.

Dorn as Future Guy though? I just want to cry almost.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

With.. joy?

 

[Drago-Kazov]

Wasn't he renamed as Sponsor or something?

In the first DTI book.

Nothing can stop Jonathan Frakes. Delta Quadrant, 22nd century he'll show up. I'm wondering how long before he pops up in the Abrams timeline.

 

[ChristopherPike]

Of course! The House of Worf won't get their ridges back until the late 23rd Century will they?

Meanwhile, they'll just have to make do with silicon implants...

After blagging Abramsprise set visiting privileges back in 2008 & 2012, I think we can assume he's already penciled himself in for 2016.

"Future Guy" was never an official name. IIRC, he was called "Humanoid Figure" in the scripts.

Department of Temporal Investigations: Watching the Clock gives us a name, species and a backstory.

Spoiler: Future Guy's species

He's a Romulan/Suliban/Tandaren hybrid.

 

[Drago-Kazov]

Why did he do what he did?

I forgot, i am not sure iif it's up on Memory-Beta.

 

[F. King Daniel]

It is: http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Jamran_Harnoth

Not mentioned on the MB page but in the novel, he was also responsible for the Second Romulan War (a reference to this unmade cartoon series: http://zeroroom.squarespace.com ) in an alternate timeline.

"Future Guy" was never an official name. IIRC, he was called "Humanoid Figure" in the scripts.

Indeed, "Future Guy" was originally a fan nickname which eventually grew in popularity to the point that even Berman and Braga were using it, according to Memory Alpha.

Now i remember. Thanks.
