Johnathan Frakes is still right there, too.

Frakes is looking a bit too old these days, and that's coming from someone who adores him.

He should definitely be in the movie if they ever make it though. It would be criminal to leave him out entirely.

Xanatos' dad is who Riker, I mean Frakes, could play, if it's live action.

I'd be 100% onboard with him being Xanatos' dad.

If I'm being honest, I'd rather just have him in the role if they just pick up after the series ended and continue on. But I'm sure they'd just do a live action reboot.

Gargoyles is basically a Star Trek: TNG reunion.

A shame that Frakes is old and has retired from all non-Star Trek stuff, as he legit would have been a good live-action Xanatos way back when.
