Star Trek The Next Generation: Where Are They Now?

So Wesley mav have leaned into his (ironically baby faced) heel status amongst the fandom for most of his later roles, but whatever became of his mother, chief medical officer Dr. Beverly Crusher? One of few figures free to challenge Picard alongside Riker, the good doctor was a well-loved addition to the cast whose early exit prompted outcry from fans, only for her to return and her already-solid characterisation to receive more screen time and depth than ever.

Gates McFadden’s performance, balancing sensitivity with a professional demeanour, was perfectly pitched for the series, but what did the actor end up doing in the years since the show’s end?

Well, unlike most on this list McFadden largely retired from acting outside of a lone television movie and a cameo in a episode of NCIS, both in 2017. However the actor has been busy, enthusiastically attending fan conventions as well teaching in numerous universities and working as an artistic director of an LA theatre.
