Star Trek connection

A number of voice actors for the show were starring actors in various Star Trek series: [1]

Many also appeared as guests in Star Trek at one time or another:

Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard on The Next Generation ) was also considered for a role in the series, but his representation turned down the offer because his usual fees could not be met.

Producer Greg Weisman has commented that, at first, the casting of multiple Star Trek actors was unintentional. Marina Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes were both cast in prominent roles, and quickly the show's staff began to think of other Star Trek actors when casting new roles.[ citation needed ] Frakes and Sirtis were also instrumental in "talking up" the Gargoyles series to fellow Star Trek cast members, and encouraging them to participate.

This "Star Trek connection" was given a nod to by script writers in at least one instance within the cartoon. In the episode "Her Brother's Keeper" (1x12), Brooklyn remarks: "Yeah? You and what Starfleet?"
