lol, that sounds about right. I’d be pissed if I were the writers. “Hey we used the same actor and the same back story, but we used a different character name so go fuck yourself.”
At least it cost the studio a nice bit of story continuity from its hugely popular TNG property. Im sure more trek fans would have been more gripped by voyager with that bit in there. It certainly has a bit more chemistry to me after learning it just now.
I would have preferred the writers got paid, but being cheap cost the stuido too.
Yeah the two characters have different names (Nick Lacarno vs Tom Paris), but I always assumed the TNG character was the inspiration for Paris.
Iirc he was supposed to be the same character, but then voyager would need to pay royalties to the tng writers every episode he was in
