Wearing a 35 year old prop on your face (which you bitched about endlessly while getting famous for it) in order to remind people who you are, because you have done nothing quite notable since
Edit: my hate boner for actors was unwarranted in this case, the image doesnt represent how Burton appeared in person
Yeah, he should've done like Denise Crosby and Will Wheaton and left the show of he was so worried about being typecast. That worked well for them.
I swear, the more I read about the ole production days of TNG the more I hate the cast. With one or two exceptions it seemed like everybody there was some frustrated artist, irritated because they caught their big break in what they perceived to be a silly little Sci Fi show for young boys.
The only two of the main cast I still like on any level are Frakes and O'Meaney. Frakes is on the record as hating how the new wave of actors wants to "make the role their own", and O'Meaney has ripped Hollywood for how they make really racist stereotypes (all Irish have to have the same accent, act the same, etc.) while trying to portray themselves as being non-racist.
Oh, O'Meaney has talked about how the TNG producers wanted him to do a Cork accent (oh, laddie, d'ye knoo, t' tradeetionahl accent o' t' old Caintry?), and didn't realize that there were more Irish accents than that.
