Letters of Note has discovered and posted this intriguing internal Paramount communiqué from 1987.  The casting memo, summarizing potential actors in the running for various roles in the studio’s then-forthcoming relaunch of the Star Trek franchise, lists quite a few surprising names, with a few others notably absent.

Thankfully this only documents the Next Gen that might have been.  I shudder to think of a world in which Reggie Jackson flew the Enterprise.
