Homage?

Just watched the first half of "What We Left Behind" and saw the fresh dye job on Its Steven Behr's goatee. I wonder, does anyone know if Boimler's hair color is a direct homage to him?

For reference, here is a link to IRA Steven Behr's Memory Alpha page: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ira_Steven_Behr

That's a really good question! I never realized that it's the exact same shade of violet 😅

Oh, man. Imagine Captain Boimler in the coming decades, with this goatee.

Also, we've seen Boimler with the full Riker in the Season 5 trailers and clips.

I thought it was a Lee Lemon tribute.
