Notes on Christopher McDonald

"At the time we made it nobody knew it would come to be regarded as one of 'Next Gen's' best episodes ever. We did know we had good things going for us, like the Yar story line, Denise coming back, the whole time warp thing and the Enterprise-C. But we had no idea just how popular 'Yesterday's Enterprise' would be." --Christopher McDonald, in The Chicago Tribune, August 8, 1997.

"I was driving in my car recently. I came to an intersection and two girls pulled up nearby, looked over and said, 'Look, there's that guy from 'Thelma & Louise'--let's shoot him!" --Christopher McDonald, NBC PR, "Walter and Emily" 1991

"I'm a character lead now. I don't play the Kevin Costner role, but I'll play his best friend, the guy who has to get killed off. Or, to get a juicier role, I'll play the bad guy. Those are more delicious parts, in a way, anyway." --McDonald in Daily News, October 4, 1994.
