Kristin Westphalen - Background

Background

Dr. Westphalen was portrayed by actress Stephanie Beacham during the first season of seaQuest DSV. The character was part of the main trio of the show's cast (consisting also of Nathan Bridger, and Lucas Wolenczak). During the hiatus between season one and season two, NBC and the show's producers began to change the show's format, including the introduction and exit of several characters from the first season. Originally, Dr. Westphalen was to remain a character on the show during the second season, however, Beacham opted not to remain with the show after it was determined that the show would change filming locations from Los Angeles to Florida. Beacham also has cited conflict between herself and the show's producers during the first season as primary reasons why she did not return.

Famous quotes containing the word background:

    ... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
