Ed Speleers gave an in-depth interview to StarTrek.com about Jack Crusher's journey in Star Trek: Picard season 3. When asked about Jack's surprise encounter with Q in the end-credits scene of Picard's finale, Speleers described what it was like to film the scene and was effusive in his praise for John de Lancie. Read his quote below:

“He’s royalty in Star Trek canon. He is absolute royalty and a very lovely, astute man. Obviously, we just had that one scene; it was a great scene to be had because he’s quite catlike in a scene. I don’t know if that’s him as a character or that’s him as him.

"We didn’t have much within it. It’s only three, four lines each, something like that, but we both pushed each other to try and do it as many different ways as possible. That’s great when you got an actor that you get the chance to do that. Just keeps it fresh and it also keeps you on your toes.”
