The late Robert Urich should've been a Deep Space 9 Special Guest Star

[Aquehonga]

As an old friend of Ben Sisko's

That would've been really

But that never happened unfortunately

Years later ENT avoided that very mistake, yet blew it by having Dean Spockwell playing an utterly forgettable alien military baddie Herbert dude Duhhh!! Have Spockwell play an old pal of Sa-, er, Jonathan's & have BOTH Count Bakula's Archer & Spockwell's character refer to a mutual friend named Ziggy.

Back to topic, Robert Urich should've been on DS9 in a Special Guest Role.

Robert Urich should've played Admiral Ross, but I don't know if he would've been, or was, healthy enough to have taken the role anyway. This is assuming he would've wanted the role if offered it.

I think B&B missed a more-than-appropriate Special Guest Star here.

What do YOU think?

And who do YOU think Robert Urich should've played had he been a Special Guest Star?

Actually, I would have liked this too. It would have been a great in-joke. Sorta like how they gave David Boreanaz a line on Bones that went something like "There is no such thing as vampires".

I love it when they do stuff like that.

Funny you should mention Robert Urich.

There has been a sudden 'Spenser for Hire' interest with the boyfriend...
