Guessing that must be the body double. In Wil Wheaton’s memoir about S1 of TNG, he said that the body double drove Brent Spiner nuts because he wouldn’t stop walking like a robot in the scenes where Data and Lore were on the screen at the same
It's not Vardaman. Vardaman didn't join the series until "Too Short a Season".
According to Memory Alpha, it's Ken Gildin, who left the show due to the 1988 writer's strike (not sure why that make him leave the show) which opened the door for Vardaman to take over as Spiner's photo double.
Wild! Marketing department must have grabbed a still frame before they swapped out Brent’s body double in post and just no one paid attention from there on. Hahahaha. Beauty!
I can’t wait to retire and get myself a VCR and the entire VHS collection of TNG. How cool would it be to pick whatever episode you want to rewatch off the shelf rather than putz around annoying blu ray menus.
Which goes to show how good the finished special effect was in the episode, especially for the time when it was done. Composite shots were not all that common in syndicated TV.
They were doing split-screen twins back in the 60s (TOS of course, but shows like Patty Duke had it in every episode). This would have been about the easiest VFX in the TNG series considering they also did spaceships and transporters and suns exploding.

I mean, I couldn't remember the next actual line, so I just jumped to something else- I don't know about 'better versed.'
"A white Russian!?" 😅 I enjoyed Roy, Moss, and Richmond miming adults once Jen leaves the room.
Apparently, this is the last episode Richmond appears in until he becomes "Goth 2 Boss."

The series was fully released on VHS by Paramount by the end of 1999 in production order with one episode per tape, with the exception of “All Good Things...”, which was first released on VHS in 1996. It was later re-released in 1999 with the rest of the seventh season.
