[publiusr]

Chapman was regarded as seemingly the favorite choice for the part.

I had no idea.

Wesley Snipes as Wesley Crusher. Now that would be something.

With all his yells of "You'd listen to me if I were an adult!"...

There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence online that Wesley Snipes isn’t the easiest to work with. I give him the benefit of the doubt with most of it as black actors get labelled with stuff like “difficult “ when a white counterpart would probably get praised as “committed”. But seeing what a tight unit the cast still are today I wonder if Snipes could’ve fitted in with it all and if he had, would it have benefited him with some of his other difficulties later in life?

One person's awkward is another's perfectionist.
