Hoping for a scene where he sits down
good to hear he was able to get past it
I kinda love this guy.
In related news, I had no idea he does the leg thing even as he's getting up from a chair! 14 seconds into the OP's clip!

As a formerly very good artist who stopped drawing for over a decade thanks to things like depression and work and such and just recently started again, agreed on all fronts. Not a bike. Art isn't a bike.

It will be great to see Number One again.
Yeah, it's bananas. You don't notice it, and then when it's pointed out it's all you can think about during Riker Sits Down scenes.
He played Riker in 2005 right?
Not that it changes the story much since it was just one episode. I can definitely understand his anxiety. That's a long time away from acting and his costars have been somewhat active. I remember seeing Marina in "Titans".

What if they intentionally obscure his face for all of Picard, so we never know whether or not he has a beard.Now just imagine if he showed up with no beard...
It could be like Enterprise's shadow man. A mystery for the ages.
For the Enterprise finale you mean? That was like a two second scene, lol.
its nice to know that in the 24th century, proper back support is not really a thing anymore.
It's a shame his directing career fizzled out.
He had great success directing First Contact and Insurrection wasn't bad and still made money. Then he decided to direct ClockStoppers (2002) and Thunderbirds (2004). After that he kicked back to directing Librarian films and television episodes.
I thought he could have been a good film director.

damn, that's a good look for him actually.
Love Frakes, he seems like top man.
Feel bad for him having to go through that shit.
On a lighter note. Here are his commentaries for the two Treks he directed. They're very good, and he's a very funny and down to earth gent. Please give them your time.
And this one is him and Marina together. And it's fucking hilarious, just for every time she starts her sentence with "JOHNNY!" and then goes on for a bit. 🤣
Wish he did commentary tracks for all eps of tng. (and the eps of other treks he directed and appeared in)

The way Frakes sat and stood were related to an old back injury he had. Here's the Reddit post on the topic, confirmed by Wil Wheaton.
Holy cow, I had no idea.
Riker makes sitting look so cool I never questioned why.
i just meant none of the chairs have any back support. Maybe they're equipped with sonar dampeners or maglev cushions or something.

The smart Star Trek actors get into directing. I have to imagine for most of them it was the right choice to focus on it.
I think the important thing to remember here is that Frakes turned a back injury into character traits that looked cool as fuck.
This would be a great time to post a series of clips of him saying "we made it up".
