[edit] Character
He played a spotlight operator at the famous Woodstock music festival in New York on Earth in 1969. He hitched a lift to the concert and noticed a disconnected cable that could have ruined the concert. He was not aware that the man who drove him there was the member of the Q Continuum later known as Quinn.
Following the concert, Ginsberg would go on to meet his future wife, a groovy chick with the long red beads that was in the backseat of Quinn's jeep. He would then go on to become a successful orthodontist and settle in Scarsdale, New York with four kids.
Ginsberg was brought aboard the USS Voyager by Q in 2372 along with Sir Isaac Newton and William Riker to provide evidence of Quinn's influence on history. He was returned shortly afterwards with no memory of this. (VOY: "Death Wish")
[edit] Trivia
- The character had a different name in an early draft, but after Maury Ginsberg was cast, the episode's writers, Shawn and Michael Piller, decided to go ahead and use his name for the character.
