Reggie was the favorite to land the role of Geordi LaForge on Star Trek: TNG, per a Paramount memo. This would have been before his legendary role in "The Naked Gun", and during the tail end of his career (wonder if he would have retired early if he got the role).

That's really cool. Great find.

That is pretty cool. Strongly doubt it was THAT Reggie Jackson. IMDB has 4 guys named Reggie Jackson besides him listed as actors, and those are just people who have actually been in something. Although that letter does have some great names on it. Wesley Snipes as Geordi? Jenny Agutter as Beverly? Yaphet friggin Kotto as Picard? That would have been awesome.

Actually, clicking on the name "Reggie Jackson" in the article links you to Mr Octobers Wikipedia page, which has a blurb about being considered for the part. Although we do know anyone can edit a Wikipedia page...
