    The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

    I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there’s a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don’t. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and …yeah he could probably pass but that’s…well it’d be a much easier call if the character and the VA’s “race” matched.

    (In the star trek universe this wouldn’t matter at all, I’m only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)

      Dude, this is all ridiculous. None of these people are real and yet here you are writing an essay on the race and ethnicity of aliens in a fictional TV show. You’re making a mountain out of a mole hill. I really don’t care about the the race or ancestry of an actor any more than I care about the color of his hair or eyes.

        one of the other million people who watch might. When a show is produced, the producers have to think about things like that. Glad it doesn’t bother you though.

        That’s a good point, I don’t remember it being stated but I’m sure there’s some clue somewhere.
