Frakes on STAR TREK 3: “Nothing I Would Like Better”

˙

˙

Star Trek: The Next Generation actor Jonathan Frakes has become one of the franchise’s most prolific alumni directors, along with Roxann Dawson, LeVar Burton, and Robbie McNeill — but it’s the actor’s experience directing Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Insurrection that’s catapulted him into this week’s Star Trek 3 conversation after the announcement that Roberto Orci is no longer set to direct the upcoming film.

A Twitter campaign to bring Frakes into the Trek 3 director’s chair — #BringInRiker — has caught fire this week among Trek fandom, and even the actor best known as Will Riker has something to say about it.

Bring in Riker! I’m all over it! I already contacted J.J. [Abrams]; I’ve got my agent trying to stir the pot at Paramount. I would love that job!

Unabashedly, I would be great at that job, and I’d love to do it. We’ll see. I’m trying to keep a lid on how excited I am about the possibility, knowing it’s such a long shot…

…but there’s nothing I’d like better.
