Menyuk was in the running to play the android character Data in ''Star Trek: The Next Generation''. A memo from John Pike to John Ferrard dated April 13, 1987, listed Menyuk as one of several actors who were in contention for the role, also including Mark Lindsay Chapman, Kevin Peter Hall and Kelvin Han Yee. Brent Spiner was eventually chosen for the role over Menyuk. He was subsequently cast in the role of the Traveler, first appearing in the first season in the episode "Where No One Has Gone Before" and returning in the fourth season episode "Remember Me" and season seven's "Journey's End".〔Nemecek (2003): p. 144〕〔Nemecek (2003): p. 289〕 In order to portray the character, he had to undergo a three hour make-up process on each day of shooting, including prosthetics applied to his face and to both hands in order to reduce the number of fingers shown. He later remarked that although he respected the work of Michael Westmore, he disliked the prosthetics on his hands and would go out of his way during shooting to hide them. Following his appearances on ''Star Trek'', he has appeared on the convention circuit,〔 including ''Star Trek'' themed cruises on Carnival Cruise Lines.〔 〕
