Most Star Wars fans agree Picard The first two seasons were pretty mixed, but thankfully the third season landed well. Make the final season of Hitman even better. Voyager Actor Garrett Wang revealed that he will star in Picard Season 3 as a Starfleet captain, but he was completely left out of the show.
Harry King fails again
Garrett Wang mentions this in a tell-all interview with TrekMovie covering everything he’s hilarious about lower deck Guest appearance in his miscarriage Picard Cameo. Initially, he was intended to play a similar narrative role to Shelby, the ambitious commander in the TNG two-parter The Best of Both Worlds who later appeared in Picard As an admiral. ideas include Voyager The Alumni never came to fruition, but the actor described how close the idea came to fruition.
According to Garrett Wang, he actually received confirmation from his agent that he had been cast. Picard Season three. As he put it, he originally had “a three-episode storyline, which turned into two, and then turned into one.” Still, his manager told him he needed to go to Los Angeles for a costume fitting, and his plans for a cameo were advanced enough for his character’s name to appear in the script.
This is actually from Garrett Wang Voyager Costa Rica (and Picard regular) Jeri Ryan broke the news about how he was suddenly written off the show. She told him that his character was already written in the script, but after a round of revisions, Kim’s character was missing. This resulted in Wang being “depressed for months after that,” although he eventually got a second chance to return with a cameo in the hilarious episode. lower deck.
Picard’s loss
Now, why we’re so confident Garrett Wang can succeed PicardA fantastic final season that was even better? For one thing, he would be a cooler cameo than Admiral Shelby. Fans only got two episodes with Shelby, but we spent seven years with Ensign King, and his sudden appearance was as memorable and touching as Tim Russ reprising his role as Tuvok in the final episode .
Plus, there are few Star Wars actors more passionate about the series than Garrett Wang, and he’s taking full advantage of it Picard Cameo. For context, the actor takes time out of his busy schedule every year to serve as Trek Track Director for Dragon Con, the largest and best science fiction and fantasy convention in the Southeast. Instead of just signing a few autographs to ensure thousands of fans have the best time every year, he’s sure to use his cameos to continue to entertain fans in his own passionate way.
Finally, there’s a fair argument to be made that Garrett Wang deserves Picard cameo, especially after the actor told a harrowing story of punishment Voyager. On the latter show, he claimed he was banned from directing episodes, that he was humiliated for gaining weight, and that his character was retained as an Ensign, all because he rubbed some producers the wrong way. A cameo wouldn’t magically solve all of these problems, but writing King as the captain might make up for his longstanding role as Voyager’s lowly scapegoat.
Regardless, things worked out for Garrett Wang. he didn’t get his Picard cameo, but he did make a cameo in one lower deck‘Best episode. And he and Voyager Co-star Robert Duncan McNeil continues to entertain fans with their fantastic Delta Flight Review podcast, which every Star Wars fan should check out. For our part, we don’t know yet what the future holds for the series, but we do know one thing Paramount seriously needs to write down: the more kings it has, the better it will be.
