The fact that Will Vyon was gone Star Way: The next generation often confused fans. Although it was certainly annoying to reproduce the image of the genius kids and deprived the fans of nonsense, most kids' stars do not depart from a permanent salary, especially at concerts that make them popular names. Why then did the talented young actor left the show that made him famous? As it turns out, Will Viton decided to leave this Star Trek branch after a name of an unnamed producer lied to him for the involvement of Wesley in The Ensigns of Command.

Will Vyon Leaves the Star Road

The story of why Will Vyon went away Star Way: The next generation can be found inside Fifty Years Mission: The next 25The book of Edward Gross and Mark A. Altman, which is a must -have for fans of the Golden Age franchise. In this text the actor tells how he was taken in the movie Valmont And you had to talk about the shooting schedules. The film was intended to be shot in Paris TNG after the 2nd season break, but the film was designed for TNG's third season.

nevertheless Will Vyon I don't think this could be a problem because The Ensigns of Command was the first series produced by this Star Trek Spinoff for season 3, and Wesley Crusher had no very wide part. Therefore, he thought it would be easy enough to write him out of all the small scenes in which he could be recorded. He made this assumption until his agent contacted a Star path Manufacturer.

“One of the producers told my agent that they couldn't prescribe me from this episode,” he said, “because it was an episode dedicated to Vesley and I couldn't go to work (in the movie). He called my house and said,” It's Wesley Episode, and I write with you and Gates a scene that will drive your mother -son relationship ahead, and that's really important for the series. ”

It sounded good and good, but according to Viton, the producer “Just lied to me… A few days before we started production this season The next generationThis producer completely wrote me out of the scenario, and it was horrendous to me. The message was very clear – you belong to us – and it was a step to sabotage my career.

Wesley's crusher ends

Looking back, Will Vyon remembers it as an event that prompted him to go Star Trek: The next generation. However, this story may be more than at first glance … Although the actor remembers being written from “Ensigns of Command,” Wesley appears in some scenes. Viton may have talked about a stricter role that is reduced to the size that would match this episode wide transcriptions (so much that writer Melinda Snodgras almost removed her name from the titles).

The other interesting thing is that Will Viton recalls that this Star Trek producer lies him as a kind of power movement. Although it is quite possible (it is reported that TNG's early internal policy very Toxic) also, it seems that the unnamed producer that the actor spoke was confusing episodes. The Wesley -oriented Series, which pushed his relationship forward with his mother, was “Evolution”, which served as the actual season premiere series, despite the fact that “The Ensigns of Command” was produced first, so there may have been true disagreement in terms of production.

Even if it was a fair mistake, we can understand Will Vyon's annoyance against Star Trek producers. One producer deliberately or unintentionally deterred the actor from the lead role in the sultry Milos Forman film, which could have changed his career. In addition, he would have starred alongside Hollywood heavyweights, such as Colin Fert and Anete Bening, and we somehow suspect they would shout “silent, Vesley” much less than the average Star Trek fan, making the film even more attractive to the talented actor. Stuck in playing science fiction annoying children's genius.
