From Picard to Riker: One Cosplayer’s Victory over Cancer
(Photo: Annalee)
Tom Schutt, a high school math teacher in Washington, D.C., received treatments for cancer. As a result of his chemotherapy, he lost his hair and a lot of weight. So while in a Starfleet uniform, he looked a lot like Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. After his cancer went into remission and his chemotherapy ended, Schutt regrew his hair. Remove one rank insignia pip and he looks like Commander Will Riker!

Let's see him mount a chair. Then we'll know if he's a suitable Riker.

a few years ago when I was in chemo, I lost all my hair. I wanted to go as Aang the Last Airbender for Halloween....unfortunately, I didn't have the time or the energy to pull it together then. I hope I never have another chance to do it :)
