10 TV Character Deaths Not Even The Actors Saw Coming
1. Hugh ( Jonathan Del Arco) - Star Trek: Picard
RIP poor Hugh. Years after being freed from the Borg in The Next Generation's iconic instalment "I, Borg", Third of Five gave his life in order to save his own saviour, the titular character of Star Trek: Picard.
Of course, this was all news to the man playing him, who discovered poor Hugh was set to bite the proverbial in episode seven shortly before shooting his closing scenes.
Actor Jonathan Del Arco was far from bitter, however, saying "It's probably a good thing I didn't know way early because the moment I found... ended up liberating my work quite a bit".
The classic defence everyone opts for once they discover the wool's been pulled over their eyes. Good call, Hughie.
