[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] According the DVD commentary, Murphy was only going to have a minor role in ST:IV and that it ultimately didn't materialise because he (or his agent) thought it would be better for his career if he stared in "The Golden Child" instead. Which is obviously what he did. This seams believable enough to me since I find it doubtful that a mere letter writing campaign would scare a studio away from featuring a box office success (at the time anyway) like Murphy from a relatively low budget Sci-Fi film that he wanted to be apart of. To my mind the only reason why the studio might drop him would be if he was asking for too much money, which in this case I also doubt. I'd be very surprised if his supposed part would have been significant to the plot, probably just a cameo like Christian Slater's part in ST:VI. Maybe he was going to be Gillian Taylor's boss, the Plexi-Glass guy or the bloke who sold Sulu the helicopter. [/QB][/QUOTE]
