In a recent interview with Airlock Alpha<\/a>, Rod Roddenberry<\/strong> gave his opinion regarding who would be the best choice to play the android Questor in The Questor Tapes<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I’m not immersed in the industry right now,” said Roddenberry, “and I don’t have a whole list of names I could pull out a hat. I come from the point of view of a fan, a fan of Star Trek<\/em> and a fan of Gene Roddenberry<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\"120209RodRoddenberry\"“Brent Spiner<\/strong> did a fantastic job as Data [Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>],” said Roddenberry. “The character was an android, yet there was something very human about it. Perhaps it’s my inability to be creative. Brent Spiner is who I fall back to when I think of Questor.”<\/p>\n

Although Roddenberry has Spiner in mind, Tim Minea<\/strong>r (Lois & Clark, The X-Files, Angel<\/em>) and Imagine might go in a different direction, or Spiner might not be interested if asked. “I’m not suggesting that’s the way we would go,” said Roddenberry. “If you’re asking the question who right now would I pick, it would be him because I really don’t have anyone else that I am thinking of that has ever done a role like that convincingly.”<\/p>\n

Spiner’s Data was modeled after the Questor character by Gene Roddenberry for Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Questor Tapes<\/em> is currently in development, with a script to possibly be written later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
