😂😂😂 I’m so glad you commented this. I never really look at video descriptions, so I would have missed that. I wouldn’t have known to scroll back up and look at it if I didn’t see this comment. I wanna know what was going through the uploader’s mind at the time 😄
He injured his back on a job he had just before landing Trek. He found that leaning to one side and resting his leg on raised surfaces helped to take a lot of weight and pressure off of the inured nerves, so it was written into his character. He's also 6'3", and it's common for tall people to have back issues in general.
Data: It appears that Commander Riker resembles that of an actor who lived from the 20th-21st Century, lauded for his performance as Commander William Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation and David Xanatos in Gargoyles, of which many of the counterparts who played us were involved in many ways. For example... Picard: Yes Mr Data and In that other reality we are characters in fiction. Riker’s visit to that world has certainly boggled his mind. Dr Crusher: He’ll make a recovery but it’s... an odd existential crisis he is going through.
I like how it's right there in the title, Frakes himself spells it like 'Jonathan,' and most people spell it like that as well, and yet you SIR have the audacity to add an unnecessary 'H' for no GOD DAMN REASON. Why would you disrespect Picard's number one by adding that fucking 'H.'
@@QixTheDS I've seen that before, especially with Frakes. Apart from the fact that people think "John" is short for "Johnathan," which it rarely is, I think this particular misspelling has been propagating for a while because when people first read the name, they're likely to internalize that spelling (especially if it's a weird spelling like this, which is memorable, and which you might assume people wouldn't use if they didn't know it to be correct). So it only takes one incorrect video title to give a whole lot of people the wrong idea. Believe me when I say that you can start thinking most other people are wrong.
No it goes like this I..... am...........Iron Man! *Iron Man does the Finger Snap and gets Sent to the Soul Realm and then Talks to a Man there*Iron Man: Who Are You? Man: I'm Jonathan Frakes!
Fun fact: He only ever said “I’m Jonathan Frakes” once. Every other time, he’s just mouthing the line while a recording of the original line plays over him. This technique allowed the studio to save several thousand dollars.
Dude I’m high and halfway through I became convinced that his name wasn’t johnathan and had to pause it to figure out what his name actually was and why he randomly started calling himself johnathan 😂😂😂
For years, I thought his last name was Franks. Needless to say when my brain finally decided to read his name correctly, watching TNG one day, I was shocked for a while.
If Jonathan Frakes watches this clip, I'm certain he will have an existential crisis. First it will start in the hands, they're shaking, they don't look right in his eyes, turning them over and back doesn't help. He'll reach up, grasping at his beard, his mustache, his hair on his head, aggressively with each as if he forgot what hair was. He'll have to check a mirror and stare in confusion at lost blue pits where a person should be, unraveling for days on end.
Deanna: I bet he's thinking about other women
Riker:
Okay, I'm dead. This is excellent.
Deanna: I sense.... he is Jonathan Frakes.
Deanna : saying that while she is cheating on him with random guy
Deanna could get it
I'm Jonathon Frakes.
He did his takes so consistently that I kept thinking I accidentally copied the clips while editing this.
Who knew Frakes would do these takes so well? 😆 Smooth with machine-like precision. A true pro both in front of and behind the camera.
Dude. It's like a loop. Dude perfected it.
Robot?
A true professional.
Well yeah, dude's a good actor lmao

No he said Johnathon Freakes some times!
Have you looked at the back side of a newspaper recently?
Do you remember the last time you watched a DVD?

They even got a Kellogs add above it now
If you speed up the video enough it does sound like he's saying "I'm drowning in flakes." 😂
THATS BRILLIANT
I wish I knew this actors name, he has great charisma.
It's a shame that he's drowning in flakes
The answer may surprise you. :P
unfortunately he wasn't credited for his appearance, so we may never know the name of this unknown legend
I have absolutely no idea what it could be

If I was Jonathan Frakes this is all I would say, too.
it’s extremely impressive that he sounds the same every time he says it
When you're Jonathan Frakes and you're suffering a dissociative episode.
Sounds like he stole Jonathan Frakes’s identity and is practicing introducing himself over and over.
Identity theft is no laughing matter
Each time was even more reassuring than the last.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Brilliant
I almost forgot who he was

"He's beginning to believe..."

Rule of Acquisition #302: He's Jonathan Frakes
My favorite part was when he said “I’m Jonathan Frakes.”
No way!! That's my favorite part too!!
It was so very soothing, then the beard disappeared and a panic set in, but then it was back and all was well with the world.
Guy nails the line every time. Nobody could say "I'm Jonathan Frakes" better in my opinion.
What does Jonathan eat for breakfast? Corn Frakes.
😂😂😂😂😂
A similar event did take place
Nah just an urban legend.
It's a total fabrication. 👏🏼
*Nah-ahh not this time!*
Should have included one “I’m James Brolin”. lol
Yep. I wanted to include it at the end and I wish I did.
Im William T. Riker and this is my favorite ship in star fleet (the Enterprise)
Nah one at the end: I'm Rick James, bitch!
I’ve been repeating after him for so long...
...I’m really starting to believe I AM Jonathan Frakes.
No, I am Jonathan Frakes
It's false. We made it up
A total fabrication
It’s bizarrely hypnotic when you slow it down.
Picard: How’s number one doing doctor?
Dr. Crusher: I am not sure captain, he keeps muttering about being a person called Jonathan Frakes..?

Yes. Yes we did. And his name is Jonathan Frakes
Yup
FACT
I'm starting to think that this might be Jonathan Frakes...
*Jonathan Frakes* - "Im Jonathan Frakes."
*Also Jonathan Frakes* - "We made that up."
Was the man who claimed to be Jonathon Frakes really Jonathon Frakes?
Not this time. It’s pure fiction
Just remember, he's Jonathan Frakes.

"I'm Johnathan FREAKS...shit, Frames, FRAKES, I meant Frakes! Damn it, I've been practicing all day".
As it goes on he tries harder and harder to escape
By the end I was just hearing "Amjanahthinfriks" like it was a single word from a foreign language to simply say "Goodbye"...
Guys I'm starting to think he might be Jonathan Frakes
I liked the part where he said "I'm Jonathan Frakes"
I used to love the joke he would throw in for each story like "did the mans limbs get amputated, or are we just pulling your leg"
I believe he’s Jonathan Frakes
Play this at half speed and he becomes drunk Uncle Jonathon Frakes who keeps telling himself he's Jonathan Frakes
When he said "I'm Jonathan Frakes" I really felt that
Person: Oh hey it's William Riker
Jonathan Frakes:
Anyone: I'm not Jonathan Frakes.
Jonathan Frakes:
Misheard as John of the freaks
Just changed his name so people would quit shooting him every time Picard said "Fire at Will"
I'm Jonathan Fricks
I'm Jona Thin Thiccs
I'm Jona From Freaks
I'm Jona Fruit Frakes
Eventually it doesn’t sound like I’m Jonathan Frakes anymore...

Jalath and Fricks at Tanagra.
He keeps starting to walk away but he never leaves.
I left this on repeat for 30 min, I think I had an out of body experience
groots father confirmed
He always gotta lean in when he finishes saying his name. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm convinced he is fighting his classy instinct to perform a debonair, old-timey bow.
When you’re having an identity crisis and your name’s Jonathan Frakes.
I don't know why, but I get the feeling his name is Jonathan Frakes.
After about 10 seconds it stops sounding like real words.
Bloody hell, now I think I'm Jonathan Frakes!
I need the 10h version
This video is Beyond Belief.

You’re right. It’s a fact.
If you say it aloud enough times, eventually you'll believe it.
Now i don't think i will ever forget Jonathan Franks.
.
When he says it so many times it no longer sounds like a real name.
Dude I’m high and halfway through I became convinced that his name wasn’t johnathan and had to pause it to figure out what his name actually was and why he randomly started calling himself johnathan 😂😂😂
It's fact.
For years, I thought his last name was Franks. Needless to say when my brain finally decided to read his name correctly, watching TNG one day, I was shocked for a while.
I thought I was the only one!
*mind blown*
Not really. It was always Frakes.
So.... He can sit down AND introduce himself?
Making a voice for your Tomodachi Life Mii be like:
"I'm Jonathan Frakes. My favourite colour is black. My birthday is February 31st. ...I'm Jonathan Frakes."
If Jonathan Frakes watches this clip, I'm certain he will have an existential crisis.
First it will start in the hands, they're shaking, they don't look right in his eyes, turning them over and back doesn't help.
He'll reach up, grasping at his beard, his mustache, his hair on his head, aggressively with each as if he forgot what hair was.
He'll have to check a mirror and stare in confusion at lost blue pits where a person should be, unraveling for days on end.
Some say that to this day, he remains Jonathan Frakes.
