Actor: Dwight Schultz
I was watching the 2010 version of the A-Team (great movie imo), and I wanted to know what cameos there were (because I suck at recognizing actors). Lo and behold, to my delight, the cross-over of all cross-overs: Star Trek and A-Team.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Edit: This just keeps getting better!!!! 53:58 on Netflix.

Did he learn nothing about empathy and compassion from playing Barclay on Star Trek!?

Barclay would probably identify with a lot of that super toxic incel crap, which can be a stepping stone to extremism.
I know the character worked it out to some extent, but I wouldn't be surprised if it lingered.

He just learned to cover it better.

The worst thing about the internet is that any moron can express their dumb, uninformed opinions.
The second worst thing is that I get to learn which celebrities are dumb, uninformed morons.

Yeah the number of characters who I adored who have been tainted by the actors' shitty political opinions is too damned high.
I know I can "love the art, hate the artist", but c'mon man. Just let me have my characters and shut the fuck up while you collect your residuals.

I used to think that it was a shame that we started having more information about how horrible people are. I used to like Roseanne before I found out what an asshole she was. I used to like Bill Cosby. I used to like Lance Armstrong, Michael Jackson, and it even turns out that Michael Jordan is a huge asshole.
Where have all the heroes gone? If only we didn't know how horrible these people are, we could still have heroes.
But then, I thought, what's so great about having flawed heroes? That type of thinking is probably why people build cults of personality around politicians. Just get rid of the whole idea.
Celebrities who suck should just be written off, and if that means that we have to live with cover versions of Michael Jackson songs, I think that's something I can live with.
Maybe this will be the best use case for AI. We can just take all of these movies and TV shows, and use AI to replace the assholes with some fake person. Fuck 'em.
Maybe if we did this, celebrities, who are disproportionately concerned about being famous, would start to be worried about being forgotten and replaced, and they'd start to know their place.

That seems to be a growing trend. Such a shame. 😢

Are you kidding me? He was always my favourite A-Team character. This is really disappointing.

Damn it Barclay!

Howling mad irl

Now I wanna see Barclay in the holodeck playing Murdock in an A-Team simulation on Lower Decks.
In a somewhat related vein, I also had the idea of Scott Bakula playing Archer, but he's actually Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap having leapt into Archer.

But how did they know his role that was still as yet in the future?

Tank Girl was in Voyager!

At the time, I knew her from Free Willy.

Oh shit! I always thought she looked familiar and I never recognised her.
Hux@lemmy.ml · 12 pts · 270d
I’ve been rewatching TNG and recognizing all sorts of actors who played Seinfeld side characters, etc but never realized Barclay and Murdock were the same actor.
Mind blown.
Thanks!

Honestly, some of the best actors are the ones you never recognize between roles.
logicbomb@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 270d
If you want to see a lot of Star Trek actors playing small parts in a different franchise, there are a lot in Babylon 5, probably to nobody's surprise. Including Barclay.
MDCCCLV@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 269d
And x files with also a lot of the Vancouver scene actors.

There's also Bob Kelso with his egg.

After college, all of us broke kids on our first appointment had our first apartment, and would watch two episodes of Twilight Zone every night at midnight. It's amazing how many famous actors made appearances, in almost every episode. They were unknown then, and became stars.

Stargate SG-1 S2E4 "The Gamekeeper"
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 263d
That's one (of many) great things about Stargate. Not only did it perfect the classic Trek formula, it had good chunk of the same cast, and a bunch of actors from other trek-inspired sci-fi shows.

Geez, I had no idea! Thanks for sharing. Watched the A-team almost religiously back then.

Surely they mean Reginald Broccoli.

Barclay was a Gooner. That whole holodeck incident was a metaphor for porn addiction, which will be a major issue when holodecks come along. If I had one, I'd never leave.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com · 3 pts · 269d
I mean, I'd never leave either, but I'd also be doing not-porn stuff in there during my refractory period.

Holodeck sex is so much worse than porn
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 268d
That's what's so good about it.

I know a guy in a space station, deep in outer space, that can help you with that.

Between VR and AI, we're getting closer every day. You might wanna re-think grabbing the new Steam Frame.
