~Voyager Fan~ · **Mon Dec 05, 2005 8:52 pm Do you Think that Q was a good actor**

hhmm.... he was a very inpirational actor and 4 tat i like him

Well, Q wasn't an actor. John de Lancie who played him...

...yes, he was a VERY good actor. Nobody could have played that particular Q any better!

Agreed totally.
I don't think... umm...hmmm... Mr. T. for example could have done nearly as good of a job

I think a "Q" based movie would be kinda cool. I mean, you would obviously have to have one of the crews with it, *cough* VOYAGER...lol...But, a movie with Q would be cool....BUT!!!!!!!!!!! It would have to be SO SO SO well written, otherwise it would be a TOTAL disaster!

I guess Q was ok, so was the actor that played him. I just felt the char was over used. He was scary in the first couple of eps, then it got boaring

I love all the "Q" episodes. I think I've seen the TNG ones, I know I've seen all 3 on Voyager. I've never seen any of the DS9 ones...if there was more than one. I have however, seen the bloopers for the DS9 episode. That was funny!

I believe he was on only one DS9 episode. I'm neutral about the character Q, I liked some and disliked other episodes he was in but John de Lancie is without doubt a great actor.

John DeLancie was/is an EXCELLENT actor! I loved Q!!

Tuvok8917 · **Wed Dec 28, 2005 11:34 am**

I totally agree with you!

i have to agree with that cathexis and tuvok but it is a shame he wasn't all the time in the show because he was funny

jadziaezri · **Tue Jan 10, 2006 1:53 am**

he was a nice break from the day to day eps

i have seen all Q eps! You can quiz me lol.

Btw John Delancie was a brilliant actor as is his son, who played Q jr.

He was a fantastic actor. His character was great, until VOY ruined him.

Voyager2004 · **Tue Jan 10, 2006 12:03 pm**

OMG...please. Voyager didn't ruin Q, the writers and producers did. Don't blame the show, the same people that put him on DS9 and TNG put him on Voyager. So it's not the shows fault.

As for Keegan De Lancie, (John's son,) I've only seen him act in one thing, that was "Q2," and yes he was good, but it was only one episode I'd seen him in. So, I wouldn't quite call Keegan a "brilliant" actor, like his father just yet.

I think it was a shame to have 'Q' grow up in the voyager episodes and become a responsible Q. After all were is the fun in being all powerful and responsible ? No his greatest episodes were in TNG.
Never saw him in DS9

.
Good actor though, His son was ok.
Probably about the same as Wil Wheaton was.

Janeway_kate · **Tue Jan 24, 2006 12:09 am**

oh John De Lancie....I really do love him....and I do think he is a great actor! He potrays Q very well and has good chemistry with the other actors on screen...But then I could be bias because he has to be my favorite guest charecter of all time for a reason, he's obvouisly doing his job or at least he was...

Captain_Kathryn_Janeway_o · **Fri Feb 10, 2006 1:46 pm**

I heard a rumor that John De Lancie and Kate Mulgrew were close friends in real life, is that true? If so, then that explains the good chemistry they had when he played in a few eppies of VOY.

I would have to say that Voyager kind of contradicted Q in TNG. I mean he was much more full of himself and more arrogant in it then he was in Voyager. I guess you could say the character matured more in Voyager, but it still took all the fun out of Q...*sigh*

I loved Q and I think it's so cool that he and Kate Mulgrew are good friends and have been for a very long time. I've seen of his episodes I think, except the one for DS9. I thought the Voyager episodes were fun because he liked Janeway so much. They were hilarious. Especially the Q2 episode and when he kissed Kate, the expression on Janeway's face was priceless! I had read that he would tell Kate to watch him on TNG all the time, otherwise she wouldn't be invited to his dinner parties, lol.

Voyager2004 · **Tue Feb 14, 2006 9:37 pm**

That was in the TV Guide interview I mentioned I had read. That was funny! And then he was like happy for her, TRULY happy when she got Janeway or something like that...I dunno exactly. It's been a long while since I read the article.

sorry but no

Voyager2004 · **Wed Mar 01, 2006 5:36 pm**

Oh, come on...there's 2 people in a row that said no...but didn't leave an explanation. If you're going to say no, heck, even YES, give an explanation as to why.
