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”.
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.
That was also the pitch for Neelix though 😅

Neelix is more like. C-3PO? Even their vocal inflections include that little breathy hesitation.

After watching Phillips in Avenue5 they shoulda stopped trying to disneyfy Neelix and just made him full on Spike
