This reminds me that Robin Williams was originally cast in what would become Matt Frewer's role in TNG S5E06, A Matter of Time. He would have played the time traveler if he didn't have a scheduling conflict with the movie Hook.

It's hard for me to imagine Robin Williams' take on that character. I know he was a great actor and wouldn't necessarily be playing it as a comedian, but his energy is usually so manic compared to Frewer who did a great job being reserved and subtly manipulative.

Yeah, the last time this came up, someone pointed out that Frewer was probably the better choice in the end because of how much Williams would have stolen the spotlight. Still, I feel like we missed out on what would surely have been an awesome cameo in an already great episode.
