I was initially skeptical about Vic Fontaine and the whole lounge holosuite concept - seemed a little out there to be so involved in the plots. But then obviously he went on and became central to some of the most moving/fun episodes! What was the inspiration for him and was he always supposed to become such a big part of the other characters' development?
Ira was friendly with Frank Sinatra, Jr. and wanted to create a character for him to play as a fun one-off. So we came up with the idea for Vic Fontaine.
Then Sinatra couldn't play the part (too busy performing), but by then, we'd become attached to the idea of the character and went looking for another singer/actor to play him.
We lucked out and got James Darren! He was lovely to work with and terrific on screen, so we decided to bring him back (similar to Andy Robinson and Casey Biggs) and the character grew from there.

Idk why I was thinking about this today but in the DS9 episode where they have do so the heist movie to save Vic Fontaine's casino from gangsters, there's a really good bit where Sisko says he doesn't like that holodeck program because it's the kind of place where a black man wouldn't have been welcomed in the real world of 1962 america, and as he has a (possibly hallucinatory) first hand experience with 1950's racism, it makes him uncomfortable.
And Cassidy says oh well Vic isn't like that, it's completely inclusive and yadda yadda whatever, which Sisko says is why he doesn't like it, because it's like, whitewashing history and ignoring the ugly parts. Really thoughtful way to handle that IMO.
ANYWAY, in the episode where Vic Fontaine is trying to play cupid to hook up Kira and Odo, he makes fun of Odo's clothes and refers to him as "Nanook of the North" which is like, a stereotype "eskimo" character from the 20's or something, so Vic is actually completely era-accurately racist after all, and Sisko was right, as usual.

Badda bing badda bang is now officially my favourite holodeck episode, its brilliant to see Vic Fontaine outside of his comfort zone, it's wonderful to see Sisko decide to help in spite of previous grievances and not caring, it's also great to see the team fall into their usual team structure once Sisko arrives.
And the soundtrack is brilliant, * chefs kiss * and the scene where the crew walk down the promenade to the ds9 notes of the theme is glorious and my second favourite scene in star trek when it comes to an entrance (the first is a new ship coming in for all the same reasons)

Was Vic Fontaine, an older lounge singer in 1960s Las Vegas, initially or intentionally the only one who could truly understand what was wrong with Nog? Or was it a happy accident? I've always found it so clever that he was the one. He's an older entertainer in the 1960s, he's been programed with the context of seeing alot of combat veterans that just want to forget their life for awhile. He just gets it. Yes Nog is in the enlightened future where everyone is understanding but they don't have the tools to REALLY get it which causes him to push everybody away
I love Vic Fontaine he's the reason I started watching DS9 and thank you so much for him
This was a happy accident, but it makes perfect sense for Vic to have some backstory as a combat veteran or at least as a friend/family member to a LOT of them buried in his programming somewhere, so I endorse this head canon.

Sometimes, I wish I could just sit down at Vic Fontaine's with a drink, listen to a set (or play one with him tbh), then pick his brain for some advice. Maybe an old jazz cat can make sense of the mess of life for someone on this side of the screen.
