The irony is that he did ask to and Rick Berman shut him down despite no other cast member being turned down after Frakes broke the seal. Dude got fucked over so hard.
The more I learn about behind-the-scenes stuff on various Star Trek productions, the more surprised I am that so much of it turned out well despite the abusive assholes who ended up in most of the producer and executive producer roles. Berman and Kurtzman are the real villains.
Thanks for reminding me that I need to watch DS9 lol. Didn't Burton also get into episode direction during TNG or was that just Frakes?
A lot did. Stewart direct some, LeVar, I think gates McFadden directed a couple. Everyone but garret wang
Garret Wang directs an episode where Ensign Kim is finally promoted and then demoted the very next episode without explanation
