STAR TREK: The Next Generation 1987 Cast Then and Now 2022 How They Changed

STAR TREK: The Next Generation 1987 Cast Then and Now 2022 How They Changed
Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) is an American science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry. It originally aired from September 28, 1987 to May 23, 1994 in syndication, spanning 178 episodes over seven seasons. The third series in the Star Trek franchise, it is the second sequel to Star Trek: The Original Series. Set in the 24th century, when Earth is part of the United Federation of Planets, it follows the adventures of a Starfleet starship, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), in its exploration of the Milky Way galaxy.
In the 1980s, Roddenberry-who was responsible for the original Star Trek, Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973-1974), and the first of a series of films-was tasked by Paramount Pictures with creating a new series in the franchise. He decided to set it a century after the events of his original series. The Next Generation featured a new crew: Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Jonathan Frakes as William Riker, Brent Spiner as Data, Michael Dorn as Worf, LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge, Marina Sirtis as Deanna Troi, Denise Crosby as Tasha Yar, Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher, Gates McFadden as Dr. Beverly Crusher, and a new Enterprise.

I’m halfway through watching The Next Generation for the, erm, nth time, and if it wasn’t for the screen ratio you’d swear it was made only recently. A series made way before it’s time. It’s great to see that most of the actors are still with us. Thank you for this lovely tribute and more importantly thank you to all the actors who made it such an incredible show.

For me at the very least it was really great that (from memory) right from the get go the sets never featured any picture tube tv's.

You're right, but I think they've remastered it. Especially in Season 1 scenes where the resolution has been boosted you can see some of the sets just about pass muster. Doesn't stop it being, in my opinion, the best Trek.

[@reryro1266]

You shouldn't be thanking the hacks who make these videos -- strictly for views (money). They have no idea what Star Trek is or who the actors were -- as evidenced by the ridiculous mistakes they always make, like with Dorn/O'Reilly here.

STAR TREK the next generation, was such an iconic TV series! I must have seen every episode at least several dozen times. To see of how the members of this crew have aged is absolutely fascinating. Some of them even though they were playing Romulans or Klingons, their facial features are so distinct that you could pick them out of a crowd after so many years. Others I could sit right next to them in a waiting room and I wouldn't recognize them if you would tell me who they are. I guess we all age so very differently.

Awe! sweet memories! Ever since i came to USA from Russia back in mid 90s, I fell in love with STAR TREK!!! Still watch ALL of them EVERY YEAR!!! It became my obsession! NOT the TREKER yet... but deeply in love with that MASTERPIECE of GREAT GENE RODDENBERRY. Truly , Gene created a whole new UNIVERSE!! The world became orphan without him!!!

[@florianthesnow]

This is nice to see, but the ages are off for several actors (some aged 30 years, some 34 or something in between) and for some people you have the wrong photos (different role or different actor). But I still like the comparison!

[@josephmeeks5657]

the years introduced are different.

They all aged exceptionally well. Some of them improved. Then again, I have aged along with them!

[@scotthullinger4684]

If memory serves, then Suzie Plakson also played the role of Worf's Clingon mate in one episode. Let's remember that James Cromwell also played the role of the inventor of warp drive.

[@James-bw7rk]

You remember correctly- also Cromwell played "stretch" Cunningham in All in the Family

Sad to know that out of the actors shown, the Enterprise's computer voice actress has already passed. I love her voice.

[@cwolfxuk-other]

I read that she recorded a load of extra stuff before she died so that her voice could be used in the future in TV and Movies for Trek.

[@Eightbitswide]

Met her by chance once. Very sweet woman. Reminded me of my grandmother. I recognized her while people around me did not and she took the time to chat for twenty minutes.

It'd be nice if "Star News" would fix the mistake[s] concerning Robert O'Reilly. And, while at it, mention that Majel Barrett was more than just "Computer Voice" since she played an important role as Troi's mom Lwaxana Troi. But I'll give them credit for going deep into the lesser-known guest stars.

Min 4:31. Robert O'Reilly looks very different, like a complete different person. ha-ha-ha.

[@tex148th]

We're all getting so old, makes me kinda sad . Star Trek (all iterations) has been one of the greatest joys in my life since its very beginning in 1966. Lord of The Rings and Game of Thrones are close competitors though .

[@bobhabib7662]

The alternative to getting old isn't much to look forward to, so I'll take getting old for now. :D

There are many.... Mistakes. The Names stated are often the "first appearance" and not the Role they got famous for. Quark and Gul Dukat are some Examples. In Armin Shimermans Case the Name is the one of the "first Ferengi he played", Daimon,;the Picture is that of Quark.

[@stephanieswanagan8299]

They're still beautiful I love watching them now can't get enough of Star Trek Love you all ❤❤❤

[@Velo1010]

Ahhh! The good old days. Man I miss those days of watching Star Trek with my best friend while in high school.

Re: Lanai Chapman: 1) I didn't realize she was only a teenager playing a crewman on TNG. 2) Both Chapman and Whoopi Goldberg played daughter and mother in the 2001 movie "Rat Race"

[@judithkimmerling770]

Most of these actors aged really well; some are even better looking than when they were younger. Under that Klingon make-up were a couple of fine-looking men.😉

[@ianstoys13mgs]

But apart from my moan at the inaccuracies , It was good to see them all

[@ansonb3204]

How about using the picture of the character credited in this slide show?! Shimerman as Daimon Bractor 1987 but a picture of him as Quark 1993. Hardin as Samuel Clemens (Time's Arrow) but a picture of him as Radie (When the Bough Breaks)... If you're gonna make video like this, do it right.

[@billsomrak]

I met most of the TNG cast at various Cons (late 80's - early 90's). Had lots of fun with them. This was nicely done, but WHY did you have a picture of Michael Dorn as Robert O'Reilly's Gowron ? That stood out as a huge error. O'Reilly showed up unexpectedly at a Con where Jonathan Frakes was headlining .. came out of the audience & up on the stage & the 2 of them were hilarious together. Of all the casts (TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT), TNG was the closest knit, playing off one another so well .. which transferred into their performances & made the show extremely popular. I remember after the cliff hanger of BoBW ... EVERYBODY was talking about what was going to happen .. people I never suspected were ST fans. Great memories. We're ALLolder now but the memories are still great.

[@jonathanbair523]

I love hearing the stories like where they tried to make the rest of the staff crack up doing faces while they had there back to the camera...

[@billsomrak]

@@jonathanbair523 Yeah, the TNG cast cut up quite a bit ... which probably explains why it was a good day to get 7-8 minutes of usable film on any given day. There are lots of 'blooper' reels, but their escapes go way beyond that. John DeLancy (Q) told a story where he had to appear on the set NUDE (after the Continuum stripped him of his powers .. and clothes). Funny stuff. Spiner & Frakes were the usual leaders of pranks, which upset P. Stewart initially .. but after he was certain that this show was going to go on for many seasons, he joined in.

[@davidwong4821]

Makes me almost want to cry seeing how time passes and people change.

[@yvonnescholey8972]

Thank you for sharing this. It’s lovely to see all these actors again, they have all aged so naturally, with no cosmetic or surgical enhancements as far as I can tell. Thank you all for the wonderful performances and entertainment, I hope you have long and fulfilling lives you deserve it.

[@crivket1233]

Oreily straight up changed COLORS!??? even jackson couldnt match , this was out 😅🤣😂

[@nicholasmarino1733]

Hi, in my opinion, the best looking female star in the show was Gates McFadden!!!!!🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@Hellspawnxxx]

Robert O'Reilly is honestly one of the greatest actors of our generation... His role as a black man named Michael Dorn whom plays a fictional character named Worf. Is unbelievable Too think all these star trek fans thought Worf was played by some real person named Michael Dorn Pfffttt...

[@JoJoBeast]

Lmao

[@lynettepalecek3141]

How could Robert O'Reilly go from being a black man in 1989 to being a white man in 2021? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

[@Taooflu]

Such an odd thing with TV shows we grew up with, feeling so timeless. You can rewatch these iconic characters, and forget that they’ve aged decades! For me some of these actors are the same age as my dad, which feels so surreal!
