Dwight Schultz is married to a therapist. He often takes roles like this that highlight a mental health issue. Such as H.M. Murdock, or Barclay. I heard that he talks over the role with her to learn how to play it properly and ensure he gets it right. Considering the roles I've seen him in, I believe that he does do that, but I've not seen/heard an interview that he confirmed it.

The TNG holodeck addiction episode was so cringy, I think it fails from a modern perspective. But from the standards of the day yes it was desperately needed.

I love how all of Barclay's misadventures helped cure his phobias by essentially making him go, "So much weird shit has happened to me that I truly have nothing else to be afraid of."

Barclay is quite possibly one of the best problem solvers in Starfleet. He has a tendency of not only finding unorthodox solutions, but creating entire unorthodox SYSTEMS to help generate those solutions. The man is brilliant, and flawed. And one of my favorite characters in Star Trek.

Barclay always struck me as one of the most “ordinary” Star Trek characters. It’s as if he was a typical Star Trek fan written into the shows without becoming a “Mary Sue” writer’s pet scrubbed of flaws and weaknesses. He had a relatively ordinary job that many fans probably have (basically an “IT guy”) and lacked natural leadership and social skills, although he did often “step up” when needed. He also retreats into fantasy, as many ordinary people would probably be tempted to do if they had access to real holodecks (like on the modern internet, the most common type of holodeck programs would realistically be “holo-porn” in which people create idealized versions of colleagues and crushes to play out their darkest fantasies, and they would be embarrassed if anyone else discovered those fantasies, especially their subjects).

Yes, he seems to be the most common, but Starfleet is not looking for common people... generally speaking, only outstanding characters make it through the academy and are awarded active duty on a starship. I think that Barclay is an exception because he is so technically proficient and quite scientifically brilliant, which makes up for his other shortcomings. It's what Discovery tried to do with that chubby girl Tilly, except that kind of failed because she was so incredibly obnoxious to be around.

Barclay went from a man afraid of being transported. To being the man in the record books to bring transported the longest distance currently in history.

Barclay was my favourite character and I have always liked Dwight Schultz as an actor. I always assumed Barclay had Autism. I have autism and I noticed some things he did which are similar to autistic traits. He was nervous and anxious in social situations (social anxiety). He found it hard to talk to people and would stutter (He eventually stopped as mentioned to him by the EMH in Voyager Endgame Part 1, "I haven't heard you do that in years" as he stuttered when asked by the EMH about Janeway). He was really focused on his interests (Holodeck, contacting Voyager with Pathfinder, his hologram) and autistic people tend to have limited interests they focus on and can be obsessive about them. This would lead him into trouble when it focused on those more than his actual duties. He was also very intelligent.

Some people do age prematurely, so Barclay being in his late 20's in early TNG is possible. It helps that Dwight Schultz has a youthful face and an elderly hairline, and has aged little between his appearances in Star Trek. I had to remind myself that he was in The A Team before TNG, so he had to be in his late 30's - but actors rarely play their own age. So he could have been born in 2340ish, just about. We just have to assume the stress of his anxieties has caused him to lose his hair.

Reg Barkley is like Miles O'Brien, the everyman in ST.

One of the things I love about Star Trek is Roddenberry posited a progressive future in which being a hero didn't require big muscles and a violent disposition. Sure, Kirk and Worf and Sisko were heralded for their skill in shooty things or poky things, but many characters were held up as role models for their skill at medicine or computer programming or pure science too. Many people who have worked at NASA over the last 50 years cite Star Trek as their primary influence in doing so -- and that's pretty awesome.

Barclay is the #1 character I keep in mind as I design the characters for my own sci-fi story. Starfleet has all these high-minded notions of bettering humanity and exploring the stars, but I think most people join because they're seeking something within themselves. Barclay is an extreme example of that.

Such an important character that the show often forgets, he shows that there are imperfect people in Starfleet, but with work he is still a vital part of the crew. I've always loved this character, he made me feel more 'okay' as a nerdy child watching shows filled with perfect heroes!

One of my all-time favorite Trek characters.

One of my all time favorite Star Trek episodes is " The Nth Degree "

Absolutely love Mr Barclay's character. Really felt for him with his social awkwardness but underneath, such a brilliant mind 'thinking outside the box'.
