"No, the type-casting didn't happen until after Star Trek. I don't think that you get typecast until you've been cast!"

This quote by Jonathan Frakes is referring to the phenomenon of type-casting in the entertainment industry. Type-casting is when an actor is cast in a function that resembles a function they have actually formerly played. Frakes is saying that type-casting didn't happen up until after Star Trek, which suggests that the program was a major juncture in the entertainment industry. He is also saying that an actor doesn't get typecast till they have currently been cast in a role. This recommends that type-casting is something that happens after a star has currently developed themselves in a certain kind of role. This quote is a reminder that stars need to not be restricted by the roles they have actually previously played, and that they need to be open to checking out brand-new functions and characters.
