I will never understand why the beard went for that movie. People give it shit constantly but the worst part is the lack of beard, not the Shinzon stuff
That was a background character, not the one you’re thinking about (see other reply). There’s a bunch of side characters in that and other movies that don’t get credited. One well known one is Tom Morello of RATM.
Correct. Stephanie is the one everyone always refers to for that look she gives Riker in that scene. RIP.
And for what it’s worth, although the inference seems to always be sexual, I don’t think it needs to be. It can be just as much admiration and “holy shit, captain”. Which is totally justified.
I also like the look Riker gives when Geordi tells him he already ejected the core before being ordered.
I do prefer the beard, but later Riker without a beard works well. I think it’s because the character and actor have grown into the part at that point and don’t present themselves the same as the early season Riker. I was going to call him “gangly” but I don’t think that’s right, but first season Riker was less sure of things.
Let’s not forget the other badass old Riker with the peppered gray beard who said “I’ll get the Klingon’s attention”.
He was, kind of. But those first episodes with the thinner beard (he was wearing fake facial hair to make it fuller) made him look even more like a pencil.
What about beards?

Bro, Shinzon was Nemesis. Riker lost the beard in Insurrection.
And you complain, but that super hot Trill Ops officer seemed to like it.

My head cannon is that he couldn’t be bothered, so he sent Thomas instead.
Riker, over comms: “'Sup, stupid.”
Thomas: “I’m closing the channel.”
Riker: “How would like to make some extra scratch and keep my Imzadi company for a few weeks?”
Thomas: “…I’m listening.”

Edit: Wrong actress, please see replies.
Wow, why?
IDK. IMDB listed her also with (uncredited).

I think that must have been a different Trill officer? According to a link in the footer of the same page it was this actress on the bridge: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Stephanie_Niznik

My bad. You’re right. Good eye!
Huh. Been a while since I seen Nemesis. I must be conflating the two movies.
Also just means the trill had bad taste, that’s all

I think the word you’re looking for is “lanky”.
He was, kind of. But those first episodes with the thinner beard (he was wearing fake facial hair to make it fuller) made him look even more like a pencil.
I mean…
By the way, were the Remans all left to die when Romulus and Remus were destroyed? Because they never got mentioned again.
I outright refuse the complaint about the ARGO. I have never understood people’s problems with it.
Also when it comes to the Remans, presumably. I’ll do some research and get back to you on that.
Complaint: What was the point of the entire sequence?
Patrick Stewart said “make it so”
Star Trek Online has a whole storyline about that. It isn’t canon, but it ought to be.
His beard refused to be a part of the movie.

You’re not wrong, but I think his biggest motivation is when he kissed Deanna and her reaction to the beard was “yuck!”

Anything without the beard is bad.
I refuse to acknowledge shaven Riker. Bearded Riker is the only truth
No beard: Unsteady child
With beard: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
With beard: Stalwart ship’s Captain
Without beard: Al Gore (before beard)
That is a great chin! If you have a great chin, let it be free!
