20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Trek: Nemesis
16. Wesley Crusher Originally Had A Speaking Role
One of the odder things about Nemesis is the blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton), who can be seen momentarily at Riker and Troi's wedding yet strangely doesn't say a word.
This is because most of Wesley's role was cut during editing. On the movie's DVD, there's a brief scene at the wedding after Picard's toast where he speaks with Wesley, who is preparing to run the engineering night shift on the USS Titan, serving alongside Riker and Troi.
It's a small moment but, like so many other deleted scenes from Nemesis, added welcome shade and character to a film that was so thoroughly lacking in it.
Fans would've loved to see Wesley chatting with Picard again after years apart, but alas, Baird made the bizarre decision to cleave this short exchange away.
