You’re saying you didn’t like Kruge’s character from Star Trek III? I thought he did a fantastic job.

All I could see was Doc Brown in a Klingon costume.

Nevermind that Back to the Future was released July 3, 1985, and Star Trek III was released June 1, 1984.

Release order /= viewed order.

Yes, but I don’t think that’s a fault of the casting. The way you worded it makes it sound like in general people don’t consider him a convincing Klingon.

If anything, I’m saying that it’s like you’re saying Hugo Weaving is too recognizable as Elrond to be a convincing Agent Smith, when the reality for people who saw The Matrix and LOTR back in the day would have been the reverse.

JEDIT: But in either case, I actually was never too bothered by, say Jeffery Combs being recast as various characters. I find him to be equally believable as both Shran and Weyoun.
