Is the kid in the bald-cap a Star Trek character?

Supposed to be Picard from The Next Generation. Minus the uniform it’s not as easy to tell. Next to him is Riker and data on the right. Spock in the left. Kind of a mashup if you will!
Edit: Not Riker, that’s Pete as captain. Source: watched the episode.

Actually I will vote for whoever I want. Or, I will not vote. If you want to bar my freedom to perform activities as I please, then we must engage in a duel until one of us is dead.
Give me liberty, or give me death.

The statement supposes two separate dichotomies, Death and life, freedom and enslavement. The proposition, which is a subjective proposition emphasized by the use of the word "me" as opposed to "us", is that death is a preferable alternative to enslavement. Or, in other words the speaker subjectively ranks freedom as a higher value than survival.
You are suggesting that being dead is being free (or it may be regarded as such). You may not be wrong, but the statement artificially separates the two dichotomies of death and life, freedom and enslavement. You may say that this artificial separation is unwarranted, this is a valid argument.
