Chako: Bad actor with bad writing, or just bad actor?
The actor who plays Chako complained they never really did much with his character and that most of his lines were dull. Well, that's certainly true. But could Chako have been written to do more interesting things?
Let's face it, Robert Beltran was no Kirk, or Spock, Scotty. His "being Indian and one with the rainforest" act was wearing thin in the second season. Was there more that could have been done with him, or were writers right to sideline him?

like Tom Hanks can't act, he's wooden & he was perfect for the role of Forest Gump!

Beltran was a victim of bad typecasting. He was politically correct and the token Native American one with nature mascot. You can find him on the walls of so many college dorms.

The actor is fine. The writers wrote him to be boring and he was perfectly believable and realistic as a boring person. Trust me, I have met many boring people in 'real' life. If TPTB had played up the Starfleet versus Maquis, he might have had something interesting to do. It aint the actor's fault
