lol yeah I never really understood why they tried to sell Neelix as this tough, no-nonsense scrapper when they hired this guy to play the role. Star Trek has some very questionable casting sometimes. Not that Neelix isn't great, but he definitely isn't a "tough guy".
Neelix is more like. C-3PO? Even their vocal inflections include that little breathy hesitation.
On the other hand, if they made the character correctly, that guy being a real ass-kicking chaotic-good smuggler that faced armies and got our laughing would be awesome.
After watching Phillips in Avenue5 they shoulda stopped trying to disneyfy Neelix and just made him full on Spike
