  My head cannon is that he couldn’t be bothered, so he sent Thomas instead.

    Riker, over comms: “'Sup, stupid.”

    Thomas: “I’m closing the channel.”

    Riker: “How would like to make some extra scratch and keep my Imzadi company for a few weeks?”

    Thomas: “…I’m listening.”

    Meredith Murphy is the actress who portrayed a Trill science officer in Star Trek: Insurrection. She received no credit for this part

    Wow, why?

      That was a background character, not the one you're thinking about (see other reply). There's a bunch of side characters in that and other movies that don't get credited. One well known one is Tom Morello of RATM.

    I think that must have been a different Trill officer? According to a link in the footer of the same page it was this actress on the bridge: memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Stephanie_Niznik

      Correct. Stephanie is the one everyone always refers to for that look she gives Riker in that scene. RIP.

      My bad. You’re right. Good eye!

  Huh. Been a while since I seen Nemesis. I must be conflating the two movies.

  Also just means the trill had bad taste, that’s all

    I do prefer the beard, but later Riker without a beard works well. I think it's because the character and actor have grown into the part at that point and don't present themselves the same as the early season Riker. I was going to call him "gangly" but I don't think that's right, but first season Riker was less sure of things.

    Let's not forget the other badass old Riker with the peppered gray beard who said "I'll get the Klingon's attention".

      I think the word you’re looking for is “lanky”.

      He was, kind of. But those first episodes with the thinner beard (he was wearing fake facial hair to make it fuller) made him look even more like a pencil.
