Walter Koenig Facts

Before becoming Chekov on the classic "Star Trek" (1966) series, Walter Koenig auditioned for the role of hip surfer, Stu Casey (later Riley) a character introduced for the 1965 (year two) season of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (1964). Koenig lost the part to actor Allan Hunt, who only played the part for one year since he was drafted into service in Vietnam. But the two actors stayed in touch over the years and are the best of friends. Allan Hunt even directed a play that starred Walter Koenig and Hunt's fellow former 'Voyage' co-star, Del Monroe (Kowalski).

Was scheduled to reprise his role as the villainous Bester in an episode of the "Babylon 5" (1994) spin-off series "Crusade" (1999) entitled "Value Judgements". Unfortunately, the series was canceled weeks before the episode was to be filmed. Walter Koenig was terribly disappointed by this, as he has stated publicly that he considers it his favorite "Bester" script.
