Ira Steven Behr recalled Danus thusly: "So then I go to a guy I don’t even know, this guy Richard Danus, who is literally a dead man walking. The first thing he says to me is, 'I’m on a ten week contract; they’re not picking up my contract; I’m gone in like two weeks. I’ve never met Rick Berman, I’ve never met Gene Roddenberry, don’t talk to me, I’m dead'." [1] Outside Star Trek he is also known for the Kris Kristofferson vehicle No Place to Hide.
