Do you have some information I don't have? Was there any announcement, that there will be a 'new' Bruce Maddox? So far, I thought, that they would use the original actor or would establish, that Maddox is dead.

@Thefallguy seems to have enjoyed the episode.
Can‘t tell you. NDA. Lol.
No, it was a mistake. I thought I was in the thread for ep 4. Haven’t seen it...
As yours was the only vote so far, I've reset the votes.
I'm sure I read somewhere that Brian Brophy wasn't even aware that Maddox played a role in "Picard" until asked about it by a fan.
Of course if he was in it but wasn’t suppose to say it, that’s exactly how he would answer

Yeah. We will see in the episode.
FWIW, if the man in the biobed who Picard is talking to is Maddox, he looks like Brophy. I think.
Two more days!
Yep, he acted like he had no idea.
Apologies, that vote is mine. Wrong thread! Sorry!
It's an epidemic!
Sorry, could have sworn I was in the episode four thread. My bad.
I love how there's 5 pages before the episode has even dropped
Maddox was an expert in cybernetics and may have built Soji and Dahj, perhaps he made himself an android body hence possible recasting?

I mean seriously. There is a credit for some unnamed Romulan guard on the episode guide, but no mention of Bruce Maddox, arguably the most important character in the whole season? Something is weird...
He was so bad that they decided to resurrect the character he played after 33 years....
Seriously, they could have told the same story a hundred different ways without name dropping Bruce Maddox, a character that only appeared in one episode. So why bother bringing back some old character (a character that could have been replaced easily with any other character) and then recast him?
Well, the character was prominently referenced at least one other time, so that gave him a bit more presence in the setting.
If they hadn't used Maddox, we'd have endless arguments about why they didn't use Maddox.
There could be any number of practical reasons why they recast him, including that the Brian Brophy's age didn't line up with his role in Data's backstory.

I still don't see any confirmation of casting/recasting or where Maddox is even in the show. It's all very interesting why they are keeping it all a secret.
