Now Frank Sinatra, Jr. is a big fan of Star Trek, so Ron Surma got in touch with him and we sent him the scene. When I spoke to Frank, he thought it was very funny, but he said that he did not want to play a singer, he wanted to play an alien. And so it did not happen.
James Darren was great, but Sinatra Jr was their first choice:
They could have at least thrown Frank Sinatra Jr a different alien role. Missed opportunity.
Should have offered a double role as a waiter at Quark’s who disses lounge singers.
Alien heckler who complains that his own father would make a better Frank Sinatra.
He plays Alien Fat Elvis in a competing club
