In accordance with TV.com’s Terms of Use -------------------------------------- Person Guidelines 1.) Trivia - Trivia should typically be about the person you’re submitting for. Unless it has a direct bearing on the person’s life, what their mother, grandfather, dentist, etc., did is not acceptable. They also should have some interest, if they don't they will be rejected. Do not submit mailing addresses and off-site URLs Whenever possible, all related material should be combined into a single submission. For example all the awards from an actor should be in the same submission, not in 20. Also do not call an actor by his first name, use He/She or his full name. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: Bob is a soccer fan. Acceptable: He is a soccer fan. OR Bob Smith is a soccer fan. --------------------------------- Back To Top 2.) Quotes - Quotes should be interesting and give the readers insight about the person’s life, values, beliefs, etc. As with Trivia, submitting 30 Quotes is often as bad as submitting none. Quotes can be cut-n-pasted for the purposes of accuracy, and as copyright law does not cover public statements. Q&A-type copyrighted interviews belonging to web sites, magazines, etc., in part or in whole, are not acceptable. Wholesale cut-n-paste from another site's copyrighted database is not acceptable. Quotes should be the person’s own words about their own life or someone who influenced their life. Quotes from their TV shows and/or movies are typically not acceptable, reviewer comments about the person are not acceptable. Quotes from a person’s books, scripts, stand-up routines, stage performances, etc., are not acceptable except for one or two well-known quotes or catch phrases. Provide context for the quote. An actor talking about “he,” “she,” “my show,” etc., means nothing to most readers. Include also the Full name of the actor in the quote. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: He is my idol and inspiration. Acceptable: Joe Smith ( about George Washington ): He is my idol and inspiration. --------------------------------- Back To Top 3.) Copy / Paste Material - As per Terms of Use, all material submitted unless otherwise noted must be the contributor’s own content, and stated in their own words. If the bulk of at least one sentence can be found on another site using a search engine, the submission will be rejected. Stick to facts about the person’s life, not yours or anyone else’s opinions. Don’t use exclamation marks on Trivia and Biography entries. Alternately, if you’re citing a source for a commonly held opinion, provide that source. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: Frank Jones is the greatest actor of all time! Acceptable: Readers in the March 2005 issue of Entertainment Weekly voted Frank Jones the greatest actor of all time. --------------------------------- Back To Top 4.) Sources - Provide a specific source for all material. If there is a URL, provide the complete URL (rather than just "wikipedia"). Use this code Name Of The Link Do not forget the Http:// Any submission without source(s) will be rejected. I don't have time to ask everyone about them. Back To Top 5.) Movie / TV / Play Titles - Movie, TV, and play titles must be italicized, bolded, or in quotation marks as per tv.com standards. If one of these formats is already in use on the page, stick with that. Outside of quote identifiers, do not italicize, bold, or otherwise special format names of people, institutes, etc. Always assume the reader knows nothing about the person you’re writing for and what they’ve been in. Even if they’re in a single show, that may change in the future. ---------- Example --------------- Unacceptable: Bob was chosen because he impressed the director with his skills Acceptable: He was chosen for the role of “Jim Bob” on Who Wants to Be a Pig Farmer? because he impressed director Samantha Smith with his pig-slopping skills. --------------------------------- Back To Top _______________________________________________________________ Forum Guidelines 1.)

Welcome! Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this actor! Enjoy :)
In a show it's the actor's job to portray the character he playing. It's the writer's job to improve and grow the character on the show as time goes on.
In Voyager the Kim character suffered the same fate as Denise Crosby who played (Tasha Yar) the cast was so big her character surfed and was not improved like the others. Crosby offend had fights with the writers about how lame her character was. This is why she didn't renew her contract and left the show.
In many of the episodes with Kim when they tried to grow his character. Like the episode when he fell in love with a alien women against Janeway's orders, but at the end of the episode it's like they hit the reset button and it never happen and Kim when back to be an upstanding officer.
Garrett Wang character also suffered from politics of Hollywood. Jeri Ryan was also one of the Co-producers and creative consultants on the show did not make it easy for Garrett Wang.
It's said that Jeri Ryan and Garrett Wang did not get along and the show.
Watching season 1 of voyager, you can see painfully how cringe worthy wang's efforts of acting really are, although to be fair most of the time he was rather wooden. Is that a bit harsh? I don't think so because if you take an objective view of his early work on voyager you know that is the truth. Later seasons of the show he managed to improve, but he was never spectacular, he never stood out like say Robert Picardo did. You could say it was not his fault, that it was because of how extremely boring the Harry Kim character actually was, but at the end of the day it is the actors job to bring the character to life, and in my view Wang simply failed to do that. Whenever i watched voyager and realised it was a Kim episode, it was a real turn off, and indeed if you look on this very site, most of the kim themed episodes have sub par review scores. So the character sucked, because of lousy writing but also because Wang failed to do more to try and make Kim a better character. Rick Berman the producer of voyager did not like Wang for apparently being late turning up for filming, That is not the way to deal with a professional problem.
Garrett Wand isn't really know, but he has a lot of potential if he is given a chance. His acting on Star Trek Voyager was perfect for each episode and this is a proof of his talent.
