Screenshot from Crisis Point 2. Am I just being obtuse or is the joke that because it's a movie they're gonna give Adam Scott a super minor cameo like he had in First Contact? If so, that's an impressive detail thst took me a dozen watch throughs to notice.

That's a super cool detail and it's fun to find stuff like this even after a dozen or more viewings.

Hold up...Adam Scott has been in Star Trek twice? For real?

Yep. He even had a speaking credit in Star Trek first contact.

Apparently?

Well... the second is only his likeness. For which I assume he was compensated.

I'm not sure I knew dude was in First Contact. Holy shit? I feel like Parks & Rec missed an opportunity with some kind of meta joke with Adam Scott's Ben Wyatt, especially since the character is a super nerd who probably sleeps on TNG bedsheets anyway.
Anyway, nice catch there with Crisis Point 2!

It wasn’t a cameo in First Contact. That’s when a well-known person appears in a movie or show as a joke or amusement. Think Stan Lee in the Marvel movies. Or, using a Star Trek example, Stephen Hawking playing himself for a scene on TNG.
No one knew who Adam Scott was when First Contact came out. He was just a new actor taking a bit part in a movie.

He wasn't famous when First Contact came out, lol. That was 1996.
