Star Trek Pin-up #38 FRAMED Jonathan Frakes Commander Riker
$44.99
Description
William Thomas Riker was a noted Starfleet officer, perhaps best known for his long assignment as first officer under Captain Jean-Luc Picard aboard the USS Enterprise-D, and later the USS Enterprise-E. In 2379, he finally accepted a promotion as captain of the USS Titan.
Frakes went to seven auditions over six weeks before being cast as Riker. Frakes stated: “I started with the cattle call, then the casting director, the producer, then other directors, to Gene Roddenberry, and then through the Paramount execs, including the vice-president himself and the heads of television.”
For the first two seasons, Riker is portrayed as a bold, confident and sometimes arrogant, ambitious young officer; however, over time Riker’s character becomes more reserved, as experience teaches him the wisdom of a patient, careful approach. He becomes comfortable on the Enterprise, repeatedly turning down offers of his own command, and he learns to cherish the company of his fellow officers. Nonetheless, Riker retains a willingness to occasionally disregard the chain of command. Riker is usually referred to as “Will”, although in early first-season episodes of TNG he is sometimes called “Bill” by Deanna Troi. He is also usually (and informally) called “Number One” by Captain Picard, because of his position as first officer on the Enterprise.
