Robert Duncan McNeill, who plays Thomas Eugene Paris in the "Star Trek: Voyager (1995)" series, also appeared in "Star Trek: The Next Generation: The First Duty (1992)", as Starfleet Cadet First Class, Nicholas Locarno. The Tom Paris character had originally been written to be the same Locarno, but because of various legal issues, such as having to pay royalties to the writers of "Star Trek: The Next Generation: The First Duty (1992)" for every single episode of this show in which Locarno would appear (170 episodes in all), it made that idea totally impracticable, so they turned him into a whole other character entirely. And although Tom Paris's background and personality were based in part on that of the Locarno character, he was essentially the same character in almost everything except name. According to an alternate explanation, however, the Tom Paris character was being developed separately, when someone noticed the similarity to Locarno and suggested casting Robert Duncan McNeill only as an afterthought.
