News vendor
The news vendor, who wore a newsboy cap, was a friend of Dixon Hill who worked at a newsstand in 1940s San Francisco.
When Jean-Luc Picard was playing the role of Dixon Hill in his holoprogram, he wanted to buy a paper from him, and he referred to the vendor as "Mac". He didn't have any money, and the vendor told him to not worry about it and to catch him next time.
As Picard was reading the paper he mispronounced the name of Joe DiMaggio and Data corrected him. Data then mentioned DiMaggio's hitting streak which he said would reach 56 games before being stopped by players from the Cleveland Indians. The vendor said Data was nuts because Cleveland did not have any pitching. When Data further stated that the record would be broken in 2026 by a short-stop (Buck Bokai) of the London Kings, the vendor wanted to know where Data was from. Picard answered South America and the vendor sarcastically said Data had a nice tan. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
The news vendor was played by Dick Miller.
The script for "The Big Goodbye" describes this character as, "A GRIZZLED NEWS-VENDOR standing behind his open air stand". A later line states there is a sign on the stand that reads "Joe's News and Magazines" although this does not appear on-screen with Picard referring to the vendor as "Mac". [1]
