Airlock Alpha posted a new interview with producer Rod Roddenberry, in which he talks about the casting for the upcoming remake of the unsold 1974 Gene Roddenberry pilot The Questor Tapes. Here are few excerpts of the article.
"I come from the point of view of a fan, a fan of Star Trek and a fan of Gene Roddenberry." Roddenberry told Airlock Alpha during a segment appearing on Alpha Waves Radio Thursday.
"Brent Spiner did a fantastic job as Data [in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation']. The character was an android, yet there was something very human about it," Roddenberry said. "Perhaps it's my inability to be creative. Brent Spiner is who I fall back to when I think of Questor."
"I'm not suggesting that's the way we would go," Roddenberry said. "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."

Perhaps it is some inability to be creative, but at the same time, Spiner would be a good choice, because the initial interest in this story would be from Trek fans, and Spiner would give them a tingly feeling up their collective legs. Personally, I am not that crazy about Spiner, Data wore on me by the end of the series, and especially in the movies. But I can't wait for Questor, growing up and reading and hearing about Questor, I always thought that and Genesis II sounded like great ideas.
Rod- keep it up man! You are a great ambassador for your dad and Trek. You are doing better than me, man. I would be one lazy SOB if I had your inheritance. I would be splitting my time up between the yacht, golf courses, and the playboy mansion.
