He gained renown for his brief appearances in the television series The Next Generation as "The Traveler". He was originally considered for the role of the android Data which was eventually given to Brent Spiner. After retiring from his acting career, he retrained to become an attorney and represents children with disabilities and specializes in children's education rights.[1] Acting careerMenyuk was in the running to play the android character Data in The Next Generation. A memo from John Pike to John Ferrard dated April 13, 1987, listed Menyuk as one of several actors who were in contention for the role, also including Mark Lindsay Chapman, Kevin Peter Hall and Kelvin Han Yee.[2] Brent Spiner was eventually chosen for the role over Menyuk.[3] He was subsequently cast in the role of the Traveler, first appearing in the first season in the episode "Where No One Has Gone Before" and returning in the fourth season episode "Remember Me" and season seven's "Journey's End".[4][5] In order to portray the character, he had to undergo a three-hour make-up process on each day of shooting, including prosthetics applied to his face and to both hands in order to reduce the number of fingers shown. He later remarked that although he respected the work of Michael Westmore, he disliked the prosthetics on his hands and would go out of his way during shooting to hide them.[6] Following his appearances on Star Trek, he has appeared on the convention circuit,[6] including Star Trek themed cruises on Carnival Cruise Lines.[7] Personal lifeHe is an attorney, having graduated from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, in 1998 after he retired from film and television.[8] He and his wife Laurie have two children, a son and a daughter.
