    I understand.

    In death, a member of Star Trek has a name. His name is Robert Wang.

    Further on the posted meme:

    Duncan McNeill knew about the “Robert” bias and simply lied about his first name during casting saying it was indeed “Robert”. While this landed him the role it required the actor to legal change his name to “Robert Duncan McNeill” to be able to cash the paychecks Paramount was giving him for his acting work.

    Too bad he wasn’t a Jeffrey… Those guys get all the fun roles.

      Fun fact about that one:

      Numerous actors have applied for Star Trek supporting acting roles and been cast, but then the actors simply disappeared without a trace, never to be heard from again. However, on the first day of shooting Jeffery Combs has always been immediately available and already has all of the lines of the character the missing actors have meant to play. Its uncanny! Directors desperate to meet tight shooting schedules, Combs is always accepted and plays the roles perfectly hitting all marks and delivering a consistent knock out performance. There’s probably more to it than this, but it would take someone smarter that me to figure it out.

        You forgot a crucial detail: He could appear out of nowhere because he lives in Jeffries tubes

    Scientists have since figured out that furthest possible point from “Robert” on the matrix of human names is “Genevieve Bujold.”.

    If true, they may of gave this a nod in the game Zelda: breath of the wild where you have find people with son in their names to work for a construction company. Neat to find these references.
