My dad was friends with Bill Campbell, the guy who played the original. Pretty funny guy. He told me that he had this thick accent - I want to say it was Bronx - and his parents sent him to a voice coach to give him a more upper crust accent, but they just couldn’t completely get rid of it, so he ended up with that odd speech that became kind of trademark.

I ran into him at a local wallmart years ago and he had a bunch of action figures in a basket. Turns out they had just come out with the Trelane action figure, which he thought was great, and was buying some for kids in his family.

Did they finally retcon him into the Q continuum?
