5 actresses filmed almost like Tasha Yar from Star Trik before Dennis Crossby

In the original invitation in favor of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, which was composed in the late months of 1986, the head of the Foundation’s security was supposed to be a Latin figure called Macha Hernandez, which was said to be designed similar to the Vasquez (Jenette Goldstein) from the movie “James Cameron at the time”. In fact, there was a short attempt to employ Goldstein for this role, until the DC Fontana writer indicated that she was not really Latina. The character Tania was renamed as a result, then Tasha at the end. The new Tasha Yar gave an interesting wallpaper. A survivor of an ambitious ground colony, through greed and mismanagement, was completely collapsed. Long live between chaos, outbreak sexual assault, poverty before escaping and joining Starfleet.

Ultimately, Dennis Crossby was photographed like Tasha Yar, and gave the show producers a site on the bridge, ensuring that Yar is always on the camera. However, Crossby noted that the central situation on the bridge does not mean that her personality was given a lot to do, and that Tasha Yar was very influential. Krossby, annoyed by this, left the series near the end of his first season, and the producers wrote a story where Yar was killed by a strong diameter monster. We can only speculate what would have happened to Yar if Crosby remained; Trekkies can tell you that the show has become more focused on the character-much better-by its third season.

Once again when Yar was still photographed, he was not a crossbery yet. In fact, there is a famous casting note now from 1987 (Easily published by TrekmovieProducer John Ferraro wrote to Paramount TV head John Pike to announce the final candidates for each role. Crossby, as it turned out, was not even one of the finalists in Yar. The following actresses, however, were.

Trekkies is already known as Rosalind Chao as Keiko O’Brien, wife Personality head supported Miles Operation (Collem Millie) It was first presented in the “Data’s Days” (January 7, 1991) episode. Chao will appear on seven additional episodes of “Next Gen”, before moving to “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”, appearing in 19 others. Chao has always been a driving screen, even if her personality was not explored even later “DS9” episodes. Producers are likely to play Zao in the role of Kiko after remembering the test of Yar’s role.

Before “Star Trek”, Zhao was a heavy television profession in 1970, when she was only thirteen years old. Zhao has been a performance with Oprah Beijing in California since the age of five, so it was at a rest in front of the fans. Her first TV role played the role of the daughter of Malik, a Chinese washbasin in an episode of “Ha is Lucy”. She also appeared in successful programs such as “Kojak”, “The Hardy Boys/Nance Drew Mysteries”, “The Incredible Hulk” and “The Amazing Spider-Man”. Her first feature film was “The Big Brawl” in the 1980s, which was the first attempt by Jackie Chan to reach an American audience. She had a repeated role in “Diff’rent Strokes”, and appeared on “M*A*S*H”, “The A-TEAM”, “RIPTIDE”, “Stingray”, “Miaami Vice”, and many others. Film enthusiasts are likely to remember her work in “The Joy Luck Club”. “Star Trek” was just another feather in her hat.

Zhao, who is now 67 years old, was recently in “3 body problems” and “Sweet Tooth”, so she is still working steadily.

In another part of the actress, the late actress Patti Yasotaki was seen for the role of Kiko, but she ended up being filmed as a supportive figure called Ajawa nurse.

Ponte Billy may be known as pop fans as “The Girl” “Take on Me” A-Ha. The girl also played in the movie “The Sun Come Chens on TV” in the A-HA (if it was not clear, she was dating the main band singer). I also danced in the Billy Idol video about “To be a lover”. Some may also get to know Billy in the name of “Pados Bank Kottek” in the Insecurity Stuart Gordon, “Dolls”. It was the one that withdrew her eyebrows and replaced with the eyes of a doll.

She will learn less about her work in the 1992 Reefal Zelinski movie “Spellcaster” (also starring Adam Ant and Richard Blid). She was known, perhaps, for her evil position and musical societies. Pelly may have rejected the role of Tasha Yar because of her lack of textual acting experience. She was fine in “Dolls”, but you should look just Nefeit in an old professional like Rosalind Chao. Also, as a security officer, Tasha Yar will have to carry a lot of harsh power, and this is not Vibi from Billy, watching the “Take on Me” music video. She has not done a lot of professional screen that has been working since the early 1990s, as she instead works as a dance coach in her home in England.

Like Rosalind Zhao, she remembered the producers of “The Next Generation”, actress Julia Nixon, from her testing in Tasha Yar and eventually welcomed her back to play the lieutenant in the “Arsenal Freedom” episode (April 11, 1988). Nixon will also play a village role in the “Deep Space Nine” episode “Paradise” (February 14, 1994), and kept it on science fiction television by playing Catherine Sakai, one of the semi -regular figures in the first season of “Babylon 5.” This is funny, given doubts that “Deep Space Nine” Perhaps I took some ideas from “Babylon 5.”

Nixon started working as a model and actress when she was still in the college, and appeared in two episodes of “Magnum Pi” in the mid -1980s. Her first cinematic role was against Sylvester Stallone in the movie “Rambo: First Blood Part II” in 1985. She starred in Niko Mastorakis of 1988 “Glitch!” Which, by chance, Ponte Billy also appeared. Nixon was married to actor David Sol at this time, and he starred in films such as “K2” and “Sidekicks”. She also appeared in the 1994 “Double Dragon” video game, and on shows such as “Seasquest DSV” and “Walker, Texas Ranger”. It seemed to attract a lot of attention from casting managers in the 1990s.

The last movie Nixon was “Ready Player One”, and it officially announced her retirement from acting At its Instagram account in 2025. She was always recognized and worked hard. I trust her retirement well.

Lea Aires was a big biography when she tested that she played the role of Tasha Yar. In 1979, she had a role in soap opera during the day, “Love of Life”, although its real penetration was the mysterious soap “the edge of the night.” Maria Brady also played “The Brady Bunch” called “The Brady Bunch” called “The Bradys”. She, like other actresses on this list, also appeared on “The A-TEAM” episodes, and of course “The Love Boat”. There was a time when he would not be considered a legitimate representative until he appeared in a supportive role in “The Love Boat”. It was in 11 episodes of the first and ten comic play, and three episodes of “Walker, Texas Ranger”. It seems that the actors in the characters are working hard, often.

She, like Billy, had also had a small musical video experience, and a waitress in the Meat Loaf video clip “more than you deserve.” The most famous Airez role may be the role of Janice Kent in The Jean-Cleuse Van Damme Thriller “Bloodsport”. Airez retired from acting in 1998. She married her current husband, Bruce, took his last name to Calish, and now Participates in the family consulting clinic in Los Angeles. Bruce Calish also used to work in Hollywood, so they are supposed to have a lot of common denominators.

Actress Lian Lalong did not have a very long biography, as she only behaved in films and television from 1983 to 1991. She was in the movie “The Demon Murder Case”, and the 1987 studio comedy. She played the role of Maurin Uhar in a small TV biography, something called “Lucy & Desi: Before laughing”. Lasha Yar was considered, but it seemed shortly after that.

This is fun: At the top of this article, the Paramount Memorandum written by John Ferraro, and revealed other interesting wrinkles. Denise Crosby appeared to be considered the role of Troi, the sympathetic contraction on the USS. British actress Marina Circus came to read the role of Tasha Yar, and the creator Jin Roddinbury’s showed the idea of ​​having Sirtis and Crosby swap roles. Sirtis was eventually filmed as Troi Consultant, and Krossby Tasha Yar played. actually, There are reports on “Star Trek” managers Crosby and Sartis Test together to see if they were well photographed.

However, all this was during a storm of casting, and the above memo could have participated in the late stages of retrievances, as well as those who have not yet come. It is now difficult to photograph anyone else in the roles of the “next generation”, but a little imagination has led them to move them because of the possibilities.
