My Frakes story –

The FX shop I was working for a few years back did some work for Roswell and the episode I was working on (making pods and a little girl body) was directed by JF.

He came into to the lab one day to go over a few things, was very friendly and joking with everyone. I made a comment about him directing TV,(I didn’t know at the time he was also a producer on the show) when I thought as a feature film director that would be a step back. His response was, “Listen, kid, I used to dress up as Captain America and go to malls. I don’t turn down ANY work.”

I loved the bit with him in the waiting room. The show has other tid bits.. once one character looked thru his fake IDs saying I’ve got one with Sylvester MCcoy, a Tom Baker….HA!

‘Leverage’ is a very good and fun show. I thought it was great to see Frakes’ cameo and didnt know he was directing episodes. I’m looking forward to the ‘Trek reunion’ show.

That Frakes is always a class act, and totally charming. As much as I enjoy his directing work, it WOULD be nice to see him on the screen again in something!

#30 – I wonder if the Voyager and Enterprise casts have had less typecasting trouble because of the lower profile of those two shows relative to TNG and TOS.

I’ve been watching Leverage for Tim Hutton so I look forward to seeing the Trek alums. And I’ve always thought Frakes was an incredibly nice guy – very warm and friendly at cons.

I LOVE this show. It’s a weekly must for me. I highly recommend it for anyone to try. The characters are terrific and terrifically played — kudos all around.

…Of the three, Frakes appears to have aged the most gracefully :-(

In one episode we had Shatner, Armin Shimmerman, Odo, Seven of Nine, and even Garak sometimes.

#35—Never saw a full episode, but perhaps I’ll get around to seeing the reruns someday.

I’ve never seen “Leverage” either. This is the first time I have heard of it.

Every week on Boston Legal was a Trek reunion show.
