Probably the same as with any pilot being picked up for a series.

The pilot would have been done months before the go-ahead was made to do more.
The actor was then most likely unavailable, or unwilling to do the series for
some reason. It was a very small part at the start of the series, so perhaps
the incentive to appear as a semi-regular with only a line or two didn't appeal
to him.

I'm sure Larry G will know for certain.

George Mitchell (pretty sure I've got the name - someone will correct if I'm
wrong ) was the actor who played Fr. Mulcahy on the pilot.

For reasons having nothing to with that gentleman's ability, Gene Reynolds and
I decided go with Bill Christopher in the role.

Wasn't that George Morgan?
Or wasn't that his real name?

You're right, Larry; we will correct you!
My sources say it was George Morgan, too!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Morgan, it was.

I stand corrected.

I think it was George *Morgan*--George Mitchell is a Mainer who was the
head of the US Senate for awhile (I know this 'cos I'm a Mainer :) ).

I only know about George Morgan because I saw the pilot for the first
time a couple of weeks ago, and payed attention to the closing credits.

Rene Auberjonois (if sp, I apologize) played him in the movie and has been
playing Odo on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for the past seven years. (Good
actor!)
