The Riker Maneuver

He had back pain, this was his solution for a less painful way to sit.

With multiple takes. I wonder if that influenced him when he was director, I heard he was called two take frakes.

That's one more than Clint Eastwood.

I wonder if this is a riker thing or a frakes thing?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Frakes. He had back pain issues.

Also why he sometimes puts one leg up on the desk/console like a cowboy

He misunderstood when someone told him that the secret of Kirk's success was getting his leg over a lot.
