He originally directed four episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. I just finished up on Turner & Hooch and I’m right back into Resident Alien, so probably won’t happen… I’d love it.Įver since playing a small role in Chuck back in 2012, McNeill has been focusing on his work from the director's chair. Terry’s brought that up as well on Picard season two. They were trying to work it out so it wasn’t a lot so the schedule might work, but it didn’t pan out. I think it was just like viewscreen or maybe it was in his office or something. And they asked me to do an episode of Picard the first season as an actor to play Tom Paris… I wasn’t available. I actually loved I loved that first season. And Terry had talked about bringing me over there as a director or as an actor bringing Tom Paris. And he and I’ve had a few conversations recently, and we kind of reconnected which has been great. I did talk to Terry Matalas about Picard season two. However, he mentioned the he would love to return to play Paris, although the scheduling would have to work out. Despite the fact that they asked him to come back as an actor or a director, the timing has never been right. He has spoken with the producers regarding both seasons, although scheduling has been an issue. On the Primitive Culturepodcast (via TrekMovie), McNeill said that he almost joined Ryan in reprising his Voyager role in Picard.
