00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:53.040

00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.480

27
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:05.519

Thank you so much for having me.

64

It's been great contribute to the weather commentary up here

65
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:04.080
in Toronto, can It is has been very sunny and warm,

66
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.759
and I think we're in for a reckoning because now

67
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.000
it is humid and I think rain for.

68
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.120
The rest of the week. So well, we're going to

69
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.400
pay for that. Good weather. It's true.

70
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.399
So I wanted to start off by asking you a question.

71
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.639
I asked everybody we have on the show, and what

72
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.279
did you think about our intro? Did you like it?

73
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:21.600
Yeah?

74
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:25.800
So fun and so varied and diverse, and I you know,

75
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:26.639
I thought it.

76
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.600
Was like, it's just a Star Trek trope. It seems

77
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.720
like you diversify your interest.

78
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.319
Yeah, we get in. We talk about everything and anything,

79
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.120
but mostly Star Trek. And we love Starfred Academy. By

80
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:40.920
the way, I'm to have somebody from Starfleet Academy on

81
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.759
with us. We're gonna have some fun. So I guess

82
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.120
I'm want to start off by asking you if you

83
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.959
were a Star Trek fan before you landed the role

84
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:49.680
on Starfrey.

85
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.759
They Yeah, I wouldn't say I was a fan. I

86
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:54.240
enjoyed like I was a diletante.

87
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.399
Shall we say. I enjoyed the movies when they came out.

88
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.000
I watched a couple episodes here there, especially because the

89
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.639
lot of it shoots here in Toronto, but I hadn't

90
00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.600
really gotten into it when I got cast.

91
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.800
Did you know that you were going to be a

92
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.319
Romulin when they cast you or did you find out later?

93
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.120
Found out later when you auditioned for shows like this,

94
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.879
it's all like hush hush, top secret. There's a code

95
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.879
name for what the show is. Nobody's an alien in

96
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.920
the audition sides. So when I was auditioning for this,

97
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.399
it was like Jock from a rival college starts.

98
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.959
A prank war spoiler alert series.

99
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.480
But I had no idea until I got the call

100
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.720
from my agent being like, hey, you booked it. By

101
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:33.920
the way, they wanted to take a mold of your

102
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.079
face and you're getting prosthetics, and I went.

103
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.120
Oh, okay.

104
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:38.959
And I didn't even know what kind of villain I

105
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.759
was until later, until I actually got there and they

106
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:42.399
were like, yeah.

107
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.800
You're a romulant. Did you have to study up on

108
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:50.480
unromulin history to bring that role to life or did

109
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.120
they pretty much did you go into a cold course?

110
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:57.240
I mean, for you know, sixty years strong misfranchises and

111
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.759
such passionate, dedicated fan it's daunting stepping into something like this,

112
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.399
And all you can hope for as an actor is

113
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.279
to do your best, and part of doing your best

114
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.560
on the show is to look into the lore. Because

115
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.519
however much I might as an actors research, there are

116
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.639
hundreds of thousands of people who know a lot more

117
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:19.279
about it in the fan base.

118
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.399
So I had my homework cut out for me.

119
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.360
Did you keep a set of ears?

120
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:26.759
Is at nor?

121
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.680
Deny? That answer?

122
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.439
Okay? Fair is fair. We could take that. So I

123
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.000
wanted to ask you about working with that with that

124
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.519
incredible cast, because they all seem to really gel well together.

125
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.839
And what was it like working on the set a

126
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:45.879
Starfree Academy.

127
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:50.279
Yeah, I mean everything you see on screen at the

128
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:53.920
at the expos at the events, it's all in real life.

129
00:06:54.040 --> 00:07:00.000
I mean, such a talented, lovely, warm, amazing set of people.

130
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.319
Well I could ever wish for as a cast.

131
00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.120
And how about Holly Hunter? What was it like working

132
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:05.560
with her?

133
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:06.800
For being legend?

134
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:08.680
A legend.

135
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.399
Lendened? Oh my gosh, she's so small.

136
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.199
I don't know the exact statistics of how tall she is,

137
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.519
but she is tiny, and yet she commands a room.

138
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.920
It was incredible watching her work.

139
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.759
There was one day where she was doing her speech

140
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.240
on the balcony I think in episode two, and all

141
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.120
I had to do that day was, you know, stand

142
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:36.040
at attention in the crowd, And so I got to

143
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.160
spend twelve hours on set just watching her work.

144
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.399
Her magic and it was amazing.

145
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.079
I noticed that you work behind the camera as well.

146
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.560
I'm not sure exactly what the job is, but do

147
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.800
you prefer being behind the camera or in front of

148
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:51.240
the camera.

149
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.279
I think their apples and oranges really do enjoy both,

150
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.279
and I am so grateful to have both in my life.

151
00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:00.480
They see different parts of me as a human.

152
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.800
I mean I have so I work behind the scenes

153
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.240
as a focus pullar, which for those who aren't familiar,

154
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.920
it's kind of the technical head of the camera department.

155
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.800
We're in charge of building the cameras and the gear

156
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:16.680
around it and keeping that the camera department running smoothly.

157
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:17.759
So that side.

158
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:22.519
Feeds my very Taipei techie logical, logistical brain. But then

159
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.959
the acting side is the narrative and the storytelling and

160
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.680
the playful and I really couldn't imagine not doing both.

161
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:32.360
I mean, maybe one day there will be a time

162
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.039
where one demands more than the other, but it's a

163
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.240
privilege to work in this industry. That's what I joined

164
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.039
to do, was just to be part of something greater

165
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.360
than myself and make these incredible worlds and universes come

166
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.080
to life. And doing both has just further educated me

167
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:48.399
in this beautiful art.

168
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:51.519
Excellent, and I think I'm going to turn the microphone

169
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.480
over to V because that's that's my ten minutes and

170
00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:56.960
now we're gonna shoot it over to V. So V

171
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:58.080
take it a worry.

172
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:03.039
Well to you. I was just in awe reading your

173
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.399
IMDb and everything that you do and behind the camera.

174
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.080
As when I went to when I went to school

175
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.799
to cop one hundred years ago as a theater major,

176
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:17.159
I did not listen to the advisors who said, do

177
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.679
everything you know because you be employable if you're not,

178
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.320
you know, acting on the stage. It's set designer, you

179
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.440
can be a costumer, you can do this, that and

180
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:29.000
the other. And I did not listen to it. And

181
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:32.639
that's the But I'm just in awe that you do

182
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.559
everything that you'd But I noticed also that you are

183
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.320
and correct me if I'm wrong.

184
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.720
But you am.

185
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.799
I am very much into different dialects. I mean, that's

186
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.960
part of what got me into the acting. I mean

187
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:45.279
many things other than it as well, But I grew

188
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:48.840
up doing funny voices, anything from you know, Charles Dickens

189
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.320
book or or can you British? To Gollum and Lord

190
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.559
of the Rings. I mean I was always doing something

191
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:56.480
growing up.

192
00:09:57.559 --> 00:10:00.279
So yeah, I just I'm not too great at Do

193
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:01.600
you have a favorite?

194
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:09.559
Well, right now I'm working on my Kiwi accent, mostly

195
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:12.679
because well now I'm thinking about it and it's getting

196
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:13.080
in my hand.

197
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.120
About the moment I think about it, it gets much

198
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:16.799
harder to do.

199
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.320
But if I just slip into it that that's what

200
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.200
I'm working on right now and.

201
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:26.440
It but the rest of it sounded really good.

202
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.320
Yeah, that's true.

203
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.480
And you know what, it's my favorite thing to sing

204
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:33.480
apple bottom.

205
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:36.559
Jeans boots with a fur. The whole club looking at

206
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:43.320
her surely got low low low lo lo looyd loid

207
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.000
in that accent. That's my little party tricks.

208
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:47.559
I love it.

209
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.120
That's awesome.

210
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.440
Well, so I was.

211
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.759
I went to see Conri back in March. It's able

212
00:10:55.799 --> 00:11:00.159
to I had met some Star Trek actors actually from

213
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.159
DS nine, so a non visitor who was Kieren, and

214
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:07.720
Terry Ferrell who was jed Zia, and then I got

215
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.559
to Shimmerman who was Quirk and DS nine. You know,

216
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.440
back in the day they were the I hate to

217
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.399
say redhead of Star Trek, but they got a lot

218
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.399
of help, but they still came out head. Eventually people

219
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.279
both warmed up to them. But that was really before

220
00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.679
the time of internet stuff. And I was actually talked

221
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.639
with an Arman because I was and I know you're

222
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.440
aware of it too, and I'm sorry that you've had

223
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:40.480
to deal with it, but just the online negativity Starfleet Academy,

224
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.399
which I'm not a younger obviously, I'm not like twenty

225
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.720
one years old, so I stilled for the fact that

226
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.440
it was Star Trek and you had people like Holly

227
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.799
Hunt just like oh, I would just absolutely, you know,

228
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.159
just stand there and you know, drool looking at so

229
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:00.480
fantastic and also, uh, what's it?

230
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:00.679
Uh?

231
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.519
Of course yes, I know I.

232
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:12.919
Said before Dead Fair, Yeah, and truly so.

233
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.320
But I was talking with him and I say, what

234
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.759
behind because there was I saw so much. There were

235
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.759
so many people that were just being so ageous about

236
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.440
the older actors and then the bombing and everything like that,

237
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.600
And that was right before we got the horrible news.

238
00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:32.440
And I'm sure if somebody had said, hey, guess what's

239
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.480
what happened to Kenney, I think the the the con

240
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:38.320
wouldn't just in Fury so.

241
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:40.600
Word it.

242
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:44.440
But I mean, do you think that. I mean, I

243
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:46.919
think star Fleet Academy is wonderful and I can't wait

244
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:47.240
for us.

245
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:47.960
You don't get.

246
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.960
What do you think it's just because you're in what

247
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:57.440
we're dealing here in America? And yeah, it's just it's

248
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.720
and and I apologize because that's I just feel like

249
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:05.399
there's so much of what's in our politics that sort

250
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.039
of negatively impacted. Do you all feel like that or

251
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.279
something that it just happened to be you know, it

252
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:15.000
hit people the wrong or I mean, what's what's behind me?

253
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:15.559
Yeah?

254
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:17.440
No, I hear you.

255
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.759
It was definitely really saddening news. I think all of

256
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:24.840
us really loved the show and loved everything it stood

257
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:31.399
for and the youth it brought to it to the universe.

258
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.080
I mean, I can only we can all only speculate,

259
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.799
and obviously I don't speak for anybody.

260
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.000
I have no idea. I'm an actor from the show.

261
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.399
I'm the powers that be that that make those big decisions,

262
00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.039
and if I were, I wouldn't you know, there's of course,

263
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.120
but you know, I think you know, it's hard to

264
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.320
stay away from all the internet vitual and I think

265
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:54.279
that's a big part of it is that we live

266
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:57.000
in this age where you have these you know, very

267
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.559
polarized parts of the Internet. And they would have hoped

268
00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.720
that the Star Trek audience that I know a large

269
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.080
portion most of them did. I would have hoped that

270
00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:11.519
they understood the you know, that things are different. But

271
00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:14.120
that's what Star Trek always has been. Star Trek has

272
00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:17.639
been about change and hope for the future and innovation

273
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:23.000
and exploration. And I'm sad to see that there's a

274
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.720
contingent that is fighting against that.

275
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.840
Well, I will watch it, uh in reruns forever and

276
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.799
ever because I just love it so much. And I's

277
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.799
out in serious acclamation mill oh my gosh, you every

278
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.519
everybody just says it. Yeah, wasn't it just like, oh

279
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.759
just that was just ripped your heart right out with

280
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.200
even though it's a fictional character. I just you just

281
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:48.639
grow to love all I at least I do all

282
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.000
these wonderful even though they're still brand new to us.

283
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:54.720
But you you all just had me though.

284
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.679
We thank you so much. I'm so glad to hear that.

285
00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.639
And yeah, I wish I wish we had more time

286
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.039
for people, so for more people to fall in love

287
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:06.000
with everybody on the show and to let the show

288
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.519
spread its wings.

289
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.000
Yeah, it looks like David's next on the list, so

290
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.559
we'll have David takeover. We lost Jim temporarily, but I'm

291
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:14.879
sure he'll be back in a minute.

292
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:15.720
Yeah.

293
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.279
Well, I just wanted to say welcome to a podcast,

294
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:19.440
and I hope you're having fun.

295
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.639
So much fun.

296
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:21.519
Cool.

297
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.679
So my question to you is, so Star Trek has

298
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.080
by generations of fans, what does it mean to you

299
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.799
to now be a part of that legacy?

300
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:34.279
An easy question, totally. I don't know, it's insane.

301
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:39.519
To grasp that is, honestly, like, just be on the scope.

302
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.559
I just have to be like, I'm so grateful to

303
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.159
have gotten to play a little part in this incredible

304
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:47.279
last universe.

305
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.960
I had a blast doing it, and I hope people

306
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:51.320
people liked it.

307
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:51.639
Yeah.

308
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:54.720
No, I mean it was pretty fun for the amount

309
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.919
of episodes that you were in there. But yeah, I

310
00:15:57.960 --> 00:16:01.360
mean I can understand it be kind of like exciting,

311
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.679
and yeah.

312
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.320
It was exciting, and it was also exciting knowing the

313
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:11.000
lore of Star Trek, of you know, the reunification of Navarre,

314
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:15.559
of being a manifestation of that of the Romulents and

315
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.360
the Vulcans making peace and working together for better or.

316
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.559
For ours apart for like generations with thousands of viewers

317
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.480
and so finally coming together and cool. I have got

318
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:29.519
one more question for you, and I think I'll be

319
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.919
passionate on the my friend derekare so, which piece of

320
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.600
Star Trek technology do you with existed in real life?

321
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:37.399
Replicators?

322
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:38.080
Yeah?

What would you replicate, Cecilia?

336
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.680
Would I replicate on? Is it something food related?

337
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:12.119
You know?

338
00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.559
I yeah, like one of those like six hundred dollars

339
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:17.200
an ounce steaks or something.

340
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:21.759
Or yeah, exactly? Come on? You know what? My for

341
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:22.799
you page.

342
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:26.839
On Facebook specifically has been I know Facebook, but has.

343
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:33.039
Been seafood boiled book. Thanks, Guilty pleasure, filty pleasure? What

344
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:35.519
can I say? And hey, if I want to go.

345
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:39.680
Through to Brune, well replicate of seafood boil every day.

346
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:41.279
I'm sure I'll get sick of it.

347
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:41.759
Real quick.

348
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.200
But while while it lasts, that would be a thing

349
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:45.640
of gloria.

350
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.920
You know what I believe as a person who whose

351
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:54.000
desert island food is sushi, I know that there is

352
00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:56.440
no limit to the amount of sushi that I could

353
00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.039
possibly eat. So it's not hard for me to imagine

354
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.920
anybody else that has a thing that they could just

355
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:08.160
eat infinitely and be totally okay with. Yeah, yeah, all right, Well, obviously,

356
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.000
thank you for being here. It's so fun to talk

357
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:13.160
to you. You know, it's cool to have and I

358
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.240
to have such a kind of like fresh face in

359
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.680
the Star Trek community on our podcast. We've had lots

360
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.119
and lots of actors kind of like throughout history and

361
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:25.680
like classic people and that sort of stuff, and I

362
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.480
think you're probably our newest, you know, actor, and so

363
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.640
that's that's really cool to have you here. You know,

364
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.599
you already answered kind of Jim's question about whether you

365
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.599
were a Star Trek fan previously or not. But as

366
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.039
you were doing your research and and you knew that

367
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.559
you were this not not Romulin really but Navarren, Right,

368
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.920
what were the character traits that you know, in your

369
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.720
limited scenes that you were really trying to like bring

370
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.200
forth and like communicate with your character totally.

371
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.599
Yeah.

372
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.279
I wanted because yes, I understood that the Navarre had reunited,

373
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.960
but I also wanted to portray Romulin and Vulcan they.

374
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.279
There are still separate species even though they were reunited.

375
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.079
Having that contrast is really important of just paying homage

376
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:11.200
the history of Romulans. And so I really went down

377
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:16.039
the Romulin rabbit hole, and you.

378
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.640
Know, found out about their key.

379
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.920
Character traits, like they're cunning, and they're the way they

380
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:23.799
were like you want to be zen, We're going to

381
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:28.160
do the opposite of that, and so their their pride

382
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.240
and secrecy. And then I was like, oh, but this

383
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.319
is how this character is written. And they seem very

384
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:35.240
open and brash and and loud, but I feel like

385
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.960
there's also part of that in the in the Romulin,

386
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.000
like in the nature. And then I got deeper and

387
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.039
I found the Kawat Milat, the Order of Warrior Nuns

388
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:46.799
and their philosophy of the way of absolute candor, and

389
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:50.680
I was like, oh my god, this is absolutely this.

390
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:54.680
This makes sense. Okay, So that's where you were coming from.

391
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.839
With their Yes, So that was my inspiration.

392
00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.519
Love that. I have to tell you that that that,

393
00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:03.480
you know, order of nuns and kind of that whole

394
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.599
philosophy of absolute candor. If human beings could live that way,

395
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.279
I truly believe that we would be an entirely different race.

396
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.680
Like it would be transformative, right if we could just

397
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:16.960
throw away the secrets and just be honest with one another.

398
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:19.480
But yeah, that's fantastic. I love that that was your

399
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:21.319
kind of courtrait that you were going for there. Well,

400
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.240
I thought you did a fantastic job with the character.

401
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:27.200
We all had a really good time watching her. I'm

402
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:30.240
gonna move just a little bit away from the show, though,

403
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.799
and talk about some of the other stuff that I

404
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.160
read about you. I read that you're a musician, and

405
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.839
I am also a musician, and I'm curious to just

406
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:39.359
learn more.

407
00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:43.359
Sure, Well, I grew up as a classical pianist and violinist.

408
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:44.359
For a long time.

409
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.599
I concertized, I did the exams, I did the recitals,

410
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.079
the competitions and all that. I taught for a long time,

411
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.039
for almost a decade actually, And yeah, it's a really

412
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.519
important part of my life and hopefully one day I'll

413
00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:58.559
get to use it on set.

414
00:20:58.640 --> 00:20:59.839
What kind of musician are you?

415
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:02.640
Well, I sort of started out as a piano player.

416
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.079
I took a bunch of piano player or piano lesson

417
00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.680
excuse me, you know, as I was growing up. I've

418
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.680
also sung my entire life, so I still sing in

419
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:15.200
a local a cappella choir here in Portland. And then

420
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.319
I'm also a drummer and a couple of different local bands,

421
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.480
so I do, I do some different things. And I

422
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.039
was just thinking about, you know, we're going to do later.

423
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:27.319
One of the things we do on the show is

424
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.119
we always remember people from the Star Trek community who

425
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.359
have birthdays that are close to this date, you know,

426
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.640
and sort of just talk about them and stuff. And

427
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.160
Gary Graham is one of the guys we're going to

428
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.400
talk about today. And I don't know if you know

429
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.839
anything about him, but he was also a musician and

430
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.319
had a Star Trek themed band. And I got me thinking,

431
00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.920
you know, girl, if you're looking for something else to

432
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.039
do and you need to add one more thing to

433
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:52.240
your palette, a Star Trek themed you know, chamber orchestra

434
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:57.160
thing or like little, I mean, that sounds pretty cool

435
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:57.400
to me.

436
00:21:57.599 --> 00:21:59.720
So that does sound pretty cool, all right.

437
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.920
On the list on the list, on the list, Yeah,

438
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.559
well they are you left out the most important thing?

439
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:07.480
You're saying? Our thing?

440
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.680
Saw I did? I Yeah, yeah, I do pretty much.

441
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:15.880
If it's a if it's a song on the show,

442
00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:17.519
there's a pretty good chance I sang it.

443
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:21.920
Well, well done, very catch you.

444
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:25.400
I really appreciate that. Okay, So I guess over and

445
00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:28.680
above music. Then I often like to ask other, you know, people,

446
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:31.039
like what else they like to do in their free time?

447
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:32.759
Is there other stuff that you like to do? Do

448
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:34.559
you read books? Do you take walks?

449
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.680
Read books? For sure? Big sci fi lover? Just uh,

450
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:40.000
just read.

451
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:43.799
Artemis by Andy Weir? Yes, great book which was so fun.

452
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:47.480
Yes, you know we we actually had him. We talked

453
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:50.799
about his movie recently a couple of weeks ago. Did

454
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.200
you see that?

455
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:52.079
Of course I did?

456
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.000
What'd you think?

457
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:53.559
Oh?

458
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:54.799
God, so good?

459
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:55.039
Right?

460
00:22:55.400 --> 00:22:58.119
Loved it? And I had read I had actually read

461
00:22:58.160 --> 00:22:58.640
the book.

462
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:01.759
I want to say to you years prior, which I

463
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:05.000
think was the perfect distance, because I've made the mistake

464
00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:08.039
of doing them too close to each other, whether it's book,

465
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:10.240
and then show or show the book, and I feel

466
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.960
like one money is the other, and then you start

467
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.200
comparing them a lot and being like, oh, but they

468
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:16.400
didn't do this or they didn't do that, And it

469
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:17.240
was quite.

470
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.720
A faithful adaptation to the book. But I'm sure if I.

471
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:22.759
Had just read the book, i'd be like, but they didn't,

472
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:24.960
and I really liked that bit. So I think it

473
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.240
was just the perfect thing of like I read it

474
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.920
two years ago.

475
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:30.640
I loved it. I cried, I laughed, it was so fun.

476
00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:32.359
And then seeing the movie come out and the.

477
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.720
Incomparable performances of you know, the Puppeteer and Ryan Goodness,

478
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:41.039
what is his name? Yeah, Ryan Gosling and the Puppeteer

479
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:48.400
also yeah, yeah, I should know this because phenomenal work.

480
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:51.559
I mean, the whole team just just incredible movie.

481
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:55.000
James are tease, Yes, yeah, oh yes, So I I

482
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.240
do read and I side quest right now, I'm teaching

483
00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:59.359
myself how to figure scape.

484
00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:01.480
That's the new was thing on the roster.

485
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:02.200
Yeah.

486
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:04.359
We like, we pick things up and we put them

487
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:05.839
down in this household.

488
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:08.920
Yeah, I mean, absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's I

489
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:11.880
when I do uh, you know, career fairs. I'm an

490
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.920
architect by profession, and so when I do career fairs

491
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:16.640
for like middle schools and stuff, I talk about being

492
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:19.480
a renaissance person, right because that's kind of what architects are.

493
00:24:20.119 --> 00:24:22.000
We don't we're not really a master of anything, but

494
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.640
we know a lot about a whole bunch of stuff.

495
00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:28.880
And that's what you're saying, right, Live life, learn all

496
00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:29.799
life life stuff.

497
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:30.680
Yeah, exactly.

498
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:34.119
Yeah, okay, just a couple other well, actually, just one

499
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:36.880
other quick question. And this is kind of one of

500
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:39.359
those if this is too like you know in your head,

501
00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:42.799
that's okay. But in vulnerability or invisibility.

502
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:44.440
My first thought.

503
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:50.160
Wasn't visibility because of its clandestine, clandestine capabilities, But I

504
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:55.079
think in vulnerability would just be a lot more fun. Yeah,

505
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:58.559
but not for like a superhero kind of perspective, though,

506
00:24:58.599 --> 00:24:59.319
that would be cool.

507
00:24:59.680 --> 00:24:59.880
More.

508
00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.720
No, I'm starting to reach the age where everything hurts

509
00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:04.759
and I'd like that to stop.

510
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:14.759
Oh that's funny. All right, Well, thank you so much

511
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.440
for chatting with me. That was really super fun. Let's51200:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.880



see who hasn't gone yet? Has Charles gone yet? Charles,51300:25:20.279 --> 00:25:24.359



I haven't gone, Thank you so much. Since Paul's not here,51400:25:24.440 --> 00:25:25.759



I get to the gabooz.51500:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.720



Okay, so you.51600:25:26.759 --> 00:25:28.400



Rock up a little bit on that. There we go.51700:25:28.519 --> 00:25:28.839



Okay.51800:25:28.960 --> 00:25:33.680



I know lately a lot of streaming series, especially there's51900:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.799



always been a single person that's kind of the lead52000:25:37.319 --> 00:25:40.400



in the show. Everybody comes in, and that's a person's52100:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.720



going to greet everybody. That's the person that kind of52200:25:42.799 --> 00:25:49.039



unites everybody to a real core group. Who was the52300:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.680



person really was the core person in Academy?52400:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.160



I mean, I think that role danced around a lot.52500:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.720



But names that come to mind Kareem and Crese alliteration,52600:26:01.200 --> 00:26:05.160



both incredibly warm, generous, open souls that I love so52700:26:05.240 --> 00:26:07.960



dearly and I hope for nothing but the best fit52800:26:08.000 --> 00:26:08.440



them great.52900:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.599



And then once we get a couple of shows in,53000:26:12.039 --> 00:26:16.720



we're hoping for Blooper reeled. Who's the comedian on the show.53100:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.440



I mean, Crease immediately comes to mind. She's the funniest53200:26:20.759 --> 00:26:21.640



fricking person.53300:26:21.960 --> 00:26:24.480



But I'll also say George.53400:26:24.400 --> 00:26:29.200



Has an incredibly dry English wit that just catches you53500:26:29.599 --> 00:26:30.200



off guard.53600:26:30.440 --> 00:26:30.680



Man.53700:26:30.880 --> 00:26:34.640



This is That's that stories like that that you need53800:26:34.799 --> 00:26:37.440



many season just to sit there and to see what53900:26:37.559 --> 00:26:39.680



a cast really can do with each other.54000:26:39.880 --> 00:26:40.920



They really just they.54100:26:40.759 --> 00:26:43.079



Haven't hit the war college as much as I think54200:26:43.119 --> 00:26:45.880



they should have in season one. Let's hope we see54300:26:45.920 --> 00:26:49.240



it a little more in season two. But definitely what.54400:26:49.319 --> 00:26:51.079



An interesting combination to not.54500:26:51.720 --> 00:26:53.880



We're normally used to Starfleet being in there.54600:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.119



All of a sudden we got the war colleges in54700:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.759



there too, and it's like, okay, we've got a competing54800:26:58.920 --> 00:27:04.559



college in the an entirely different, entirely Pacific characters, and54900:27:04.599 --> 00:27:06.720



it just I want to see how that grows.55000:27:06.920 --> 00:27:10.200



Yeah, really think War College biased for sure?55100:27:10.559 --> 00:27:13.480



When I think War College is cool, it big.55200:27:13.839 --> 00:27:15.559



Of course you do well.55300:27:15.599 --> 00:27:16.640



And the thing is they.55400:27:16.759 --> 00:27:23.440



They were War College well and they were there. Yeah,55500:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.640



and you guys were there before star reformed.55600:27:27.039 --> 00:27:28.680



So we've been here.55700:27:28.839 --> 00:27:32.000



We've been busting our asses protecting the universe.55800:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.599



Okay, yeah, yeah, they talked.55900:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.559



I don't want to I don't want to butt in56000:27:36.599 --> 00:27:39.920



on Charles's interview, but did they talk about, like, as56100:27:39.960 --> 00:27:42.759



an actor, the way that you should treat the War56200:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.440



College differently from Starfleet at all? Or was that just56300:27:45.480 --> 00:27:47.680



a like was that part of the character, or like56400:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.440



the group of people that you were with you were56500:27:49.480 --> 00:27:51.799



supposed to be like, oh, star you know, War College56600:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.359



is like this and Starfleet ammys like this.56700:27:53.559 --> 00:27:55.920



Not explicitly, I mean a lot of it was in56800:27:56.000 --> 00:27:58.640



the script as well as you know, passing comments from56900:27:58.680 --> 00:28:00.960



showwrinners and all that kind of stuff. But it did57000:28:01.240 --> 00:28:04.440



really feel like war College, at least what I created57100:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.960



for myself is like war College has been there since57200:28:07.000 --> 00:28:11.079



the Burn, has been steadfast and had to be strong57300:28:11.200 --> 00:28:14.359



against the trials and tribulations of the Burn, which was57400:28:14.400 --> 00:28:19.160



a terrible time for the whole galaxy. And and so57500:28:19.240 --> 00:28:22.680



that opinion of these you know, there are standards and57600:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.640



their rules and their protocols and there et cetera, et57700:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.640



cetera to uphold, and then Starfleet comes in with their57800:28:29.680 --> 00:28:34.480



loosey goosey behavior. I can you know, I can absolutely57900:28:34.559 --> 00:28:38.480



empathize with my War College buddies being like whoa, who the.58000:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.200



Heck are you? What are you guys doing? You know?58100:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.279



And actually this is a Starfleet example like Holly Hunter58200:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.680



who sits in her chair sideways and yes, absolutely.58300:28:48.079 --> 00:28:50.960



Which is so different. And I think it's just a thawing.58400:28:51.240 --> 00:28:52.599



It's a it's a it's a.58500:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.920



Thaw from a time where maybe that kind of laxity58600:28:57.039 --> 00:29:03.480



and joy and playfullss was is not really allowed, and58700:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.759



I think, you know, it just is a changing of58800:29:06.759 --> 00:29:07.240



the times.58900:29:07.400 --> 00:29:08.599



Yes, definitely.59000:29:09.920 --> 00:29:12.920



Okay, I think one final question for me to get59100:29:12.960 --> 00:29:17.359



you thinking a little bit, Okay, if you had a59200:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.480



dream role, movie stage, something you can film.59300:29:22.720 --> 00:29:23.920



What role would it be?59400:29:24.160 --> 00:29:25.599



What you You could.59500:29:25.400 --> 00:29:27.480



Be acting in it, you could be doing the camera59600:29:27.519 --> 00:29:28.119



work in it.59700:29:28.200 --> 00:29:30.279



What's that dream role you're looking for?59800:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.039



You wish you could do? Dream role?59900:29:32.359 --> 00:29:36.039



Medieval action, fantasy, anything in that genre. I grew up60000:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.160



mass a fan of the Lord of the Rings.60100:29:38.480 --> 00:29:40.759



Could totally see you doing that. Yeah, that would be awesome.60200:29:41.440 --> 00:29:42.880



I could totally see it.60300:29:43.519 --> 00:29:46.720



Thank you. It's a story I tell a bunch, but60400:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.680



just because it early shows you manifest things in your life.60500:29:51.079 --> 00:29:54.559



But I remember being a kid obsessed with the elves60600:29:54.640 --> 00:29:57.200



in Lord of the Rings to the point where I60700:29:57.240 --> 00:30:01.160



would take clothespins and I would pin the tip my ears.60800:30:02.079 --> 00:30:09.079



That they would grow into Elvier's. But now on Star60900:30:09.200 --> 00:30:11.839



Food Academy, my dream came true.61000:30:12.039 --> 00:30:20.079



It did. That's why she couldn't answer that question. Yeah,61100:30:22.240 --> 00:30:25.400



I love it. That is so Like that just warms61200:30:25.440 --> 00:30:28.359



my heart. Man, that you got like your dream by61300:30:28.559 --> 00:30:30.680



joining this franchise that you really didn't even know that61400:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.400



much about, but like understood the gravity obviously, Like once61500:30:33.440 --> 00:30:34.559



you got it, you were like holy.61600:30:34.359 --> 00:30:37.160



Shit, right, Like yes, I was screaming.61700:30:37.240 --> 00:30:43.599



I was like, yeah, all right, well I'll pass it61800:30:43.680 --> 00:30:46.240



back to Uncle Jim. Thank you very much.61900:30:47.400 --> 00:30:49.640



You know, so, have you had a chance to go62000:30:49.759 --> 00:30:53.839



back and watch see the Car and and look at62100:30:53.880 --> 00:31:00.559



Elmore and and how how he developed academy? Yeah, first62200:31:00.599 --> 00:31:05.039



romulent And did you look at his work and try62300:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.599



to build on that or did you just kind of62400:31:07.960 --> 00:31:08.640



do your own thing?62500:31:08.720 --> 00:31:11.200



It did my own thing. I watched some Picard and62600:31:11.240 --> 00:31:13.279



I wanted to see what had come before.62700:31:13.839 --> 00:31:16.599



But I do think that I had the opportunity with62800:31:16.680 --> 00:31:20.839



this character because of the circumstances were into in terms62900:31:20.880 --> 00:31:23.240



of the reunification of Nimar and like and in.63000:31:23.240 --> 00:31:25.680



Terms of post burn blah blah blah.63100:31:25.759 --> 00:31:28.640



I think I really had an opportunity to do my63200:31:28.680 --> 00:31:32.039



own thing with this character. So I mean, I hope63300:31:32.039 --> 00:31:34.440



I paid a little bit of homage to the people63400:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.240



who came before, but really I wanted to be my own.63500:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.720



No, what about the death of Audia. We never got63600:31:40.759 --> 00:31:45.400



to see any real reaction to that, particularly from your character,63700:31:45.519 --> 00:31:47.839



because you guys were like brother and sister. Well you63800:31:47.880 --> 00:31:49.960



were very close on the show. It came off that63900:31:50.039 --> 00:31:52.559



way anyways, and then he died, but we never got64000:31:52.559 --> 00:31:56.400



to see your character after that. How do you think,64100:31:56.559 --> 00:31:58.880



how do you think your character reacted to the death64200:31:59.000 --> 00:31:59.960



of him devastate.64300:32:00.440 --> 00:32:03.480



I am also very sad we did not get to64400:32:03.519 --> 00:32:06.920



see Zola's reaction on the show, because yeah, they were64500:32:07.039 --> 00:32:09.640



tied at the hit and so iron ie I like64600:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.759



to call us when we were on set. I mean,64700:32:12.039 --> 00:32:14.599



I'm also really close with that actor in real life.64800:32:14.880 --> 00:32:17.200



We've done two shows together now, and he's just a64900:32:17.200 --> 00:32:19.519



gem of a human. But I remember, you know, the65000:32:19.599 --> 00:32:22.119



late night You're delirious at three in the morning, and65100:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.039



he would just come over and he would like poke65200:32:24.200 --> 00:32:33.000



my prosthetic as his little like stress ball. It's quick,65300:32:35.480 --> 00:32:39.759



but no, like, yeah, he's you know in real life65400:32:39.759 --> 00:32:43.200



and on the show such close, such a close relationship.65500:32:43.319 --> 00:32:44.920



So yeah, I'm sad we didn't get to see it.65600:32:45.000 --> 00:32:48.079



And I think there's a lot of there's already so much.65700:32:48.200 --> 00:32:50.920



She's so protective. I think that's I guess, a core65800:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.519



trait of her character.65900:32:52.599 --> 00:32:53.319



She's protective.66000:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.759



That's why she's a deck to the Starfleet Academy is66100:32:56.799 --> 00:33:00.519



because she just she feels strongly about about up holding66200:33:00.880 --> 00:33:06.079



like strength and and and these values that that war college.66300:33:05.799 --> 00:33:06.680



Is all about.66400:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.240



She's doing it because she loves so much and so66500:33:10.599 --> 00:33:13.279



the fact that she wasn't there with her friends. I66600:33:13.319 --> 00:33:16.440



think she she'll feel she would have felt so guilty,66700:33:17.160 --> 00:33:20.200



and I think she would have crashed out so hard,66800:33:20.240 --> 00:33:23.079



and I think she would have gone really deep in herself.66900:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.640



Yeah, yeah, I think I think I think you're right.67000:33:25.839 --> 00:33:28.440



So what all of the ten episodes that we've had67100:33:28.480 --> 00:33:31.640



the pleasure of enjoying, which was your favorite one? It67200:33:31.680 --> 00:33:33.519



doesn't have to be one that you were in if67300:33:33.559 --> 00:33:35.559



it's a different one, although the ones you were in67400:33:35.599 --> 00:33:36.400



were also.67500:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.440



Thank you, I mean you mentioned earlier, but episode five67600:33:41.920 --> 00:33:43.000



series Acclimation Mill.67700:33:43.160 --> 00:33:49.400



You know, Carrie played that character. She's she's a wonder67800:33:49.440 --> 00:33:50.000



to watch.67900:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.920



She's so impulsive and free and joyful with her work,68000:33:54.079 --> 00:33:57.559



and she's a wonderful human to boot But seeing her68100:33:57.680 --> 00:34:01.960



journey of growing, you know, this new the newest you68200:34:02.000 --> 00:34:04.400



could ever be in this world, discovering herself and just68300:34:04.519 --> 00:34:07.400



and having so much responsibility placed upon her.68400:34:07.720 --> 00:34:09.880



I think it was just done so beautifully.68500:34:10.239 --> 00:34:13.360



I know a lot of the fans really appreciated, you know,68600:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.800



the callbacks to the to the history and yeah, just68700:34:17.800 --> 00:34:18.920



just such a fun episode.68800:34:19.000 --> 00:34:20.199



I mean, Currise punched me.68900:34:20.199 --> 00:34:24.880



In the face, like, well, I'm Jim I'm gonna butt69000:34:24.880 --> 00:34:27.480



in one more time because I had. What I'm wondering69100:34:27.559 --> 00:34:29.719



is Cecily now that you you're part of Star Trek69200:34:29.760 --> 00:34:31.920



Law and that sort of stuff, like if somebody was69300:34:31.960 --> 00:34:35.239



to say to you, what are the values that Star69400:34:35.320 --> 00:34:37.000



Trek embodies, what would you say?69500:34:38.719 --> 00:34:49.599



Hope, Optimism, inclusivity, diversity, Yeah, strike, yeah.69600:34:49.639 --> 00:34:51.920



We we often talk on the show about about the69700:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.679



diversity aspect and the fact that you know, we are69800:34:54.760 --> 00:34:59.639



all big fans of modern Star Trek because we recognize69900:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.079



what it has done, who it has brought to the table,70000:35:02.159 --> 00:35:05.079



who it has given opportunities to, whose voices are now70100:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.639



heard that didn't used to be heard. And you know,70200:35:07.679 --> 00:35:11.159



Starfleet Academy to me just feels like a continuation of70300:35:11.480 --> 00:35:14.920



what Discovery started, you know, as a as a new70400:35:14.960 --> 00:35:19.719



paradigm in Star Trek, and we just so much appreciate,70500:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.840



I think, as a as podcast hosts, the courage to70600:35:23.920 --> 00:35:27.119



be able to shift away from sort of what what70700:35:27.119 --> 00:35:32.280



what once was to something that you know, seeks to do.70800:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.400



What Gene always wanted to do was was bring everybody70900:35:35.440 --> 00:35:36.199



in right.71000:35:36.519 --> 00:35:37.239



You're so right.71100:35:37.360 --> 00:35:42.519



I mean, Star Trek has always stood for pioneering, pioneering71200:35:42.559 --> 00:35:44.679



that kind of stuff of diversity and inclusivity.71300:35:44.760 --> 00:35:46.840



I mean, first international.71400:35:46.440 --> 00:35:49.039



Kiss on screen Star Trek, if you went all the71500:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.320



way back then, and I think, you know, that's I71600:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.400



think that's what shall we say, A certain contingent of71700:35:53.400 --> 00:35:58.519



Star Trek people have forgotten in that that Starfleet stands71800:35:59.400 --> 00:36:03.320



for change and for giving voice to the people who71900:36:03.400 --> 00:36:05.400



haven't had a seat at the table for so long.72000:36:05.960 --> 00:36:07.880



And come on, it's zooming out.72100:36:07.960 --> 00:36:13.000



It's a show that's show things that don't exist still out.72200:36:13.199 --> 00:36:15.679



So I mean, you know, are you.72300:36:15.760 --> 00:36:18.440



Really going to be like, oh no, playing on is72400:36:18.480 --> 00:36:19.280



wearing a skirt?72500:36:19.599 --> 00:36:25.039



Dad couldn't exist in this world where people are blue,72600:36:26.719 --> 00:36:26.920



you know.72700:36:29.320 --> 00:36:30.400



I think we're on the sage.72800:36:31.159 --> 00:36:34.800



I got to say it. I love jad En myself.72900:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.519



I think I think that he's I fell in love73000:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.480



with him right away, and the more they developed him,73100:36:40.639 --> 00:36:44.559



the more I admired him. In fact, I tracked him73200:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.159



down on Instagram and tried to get him on the73300:36:47.159 --> 00:36:51.079



podcast because I would love to talk with him about73400:36:51.360 --> 00:36:55.159



developing that incredible character. You know, And when I talked73500:36:55.199 --> 00:36:58.639



to him, his voice doesn't sound anything like it does73600:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.400



on the show. So I wanted to tell us about73700:37:02.639 --> 00:37:05.760



him as a claimant as he is as imposing as73800:37:05.800 --> 00:37:08.119



he appears to be, or how does he get his73900:37:08.199 --> 00:37:09.719



voice to sound that way?74000:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.039



We wish I could tell you it's a feat. I74100:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.519



don't know. I know he got some training and he74200:37:15.559 --> 00:37:17.960



really had to work on it because it is such74300:37:18.000 --> 00:37:20.559



a different register from his natural speaking voice. But he74400:37:20.639 --> 00:37:23.519



was a truper man. I mean, excuse me to talk74500:37:23.559 --> 00:37:27.320



about a leader on set. I mean that man was74600:37:27.360 --> 00:37:29.199



there early as hell.74700:37:29.320 --> 00:37:31.920



I think he had one of the longest prosthetic times74800:37:32.000 --> 00:37:34.119



on the show. He was always there so late he74900:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.840



had he had his voice change. He puts so much75000:37:37.039 --> 00:37:41.719



work into it, and I can only just commend him75100:37:41.880 --> 00:37:44.519



to the moon and back for his performance.75200:37:44.599 --> 00:37:46.880



I wanted to ask you about a couple others. Did75300:37:46.880 --> 00:37:48.599



you get a chance were you on set it all75400:37:49.039 --> 00:37:51.559



when Mary Wiseman was on, No.75500:37:51.559 --> 00:37:58.880



I wasn't about missed a lot of people, most a75600:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.000



lot of people on this line unfortunately.75700:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.119



Well how about taking a tar all?75800:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.199



Yes, yeah, So tell us a little bit about her.75900:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.960



I just I love she's actually right now, she's in Albany,76000:38:10.039 --> 00:38:13.119



New York doing a stand up comedy skit at the76100:38:13.199 --> 00:38:15.679



Egg which I would have loved to go to I76200:38:15.679 --> 00:38:17.719



have a friend that's there who's going to report back76300:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.320



on it. But I love her dead pan humor. I76400:38:20.360 --> 00:38:23.480



love the way she commands the scene. What what is76500:38:23.519 --> 00:38:26.920



it like working around her? Like does she track you all?76600:38:27.079 --> 00:38:27.960



It's so funny.76700:38:28.079 --> 00:38:32.000



But also that dead pan humor, it it's it's there76800:38:32.320 --> 00:38:33.719



the whole time, and it's scary.76900:38:33.880 --> 00:38:38.480



Actually it's quite intimidating because you're like, I don't know77000:38:38.519 --> 00:38:45.519



how I'm a big fan, Are you serious?77100:38:45.599 --> 00:38:47.400



What's going on here? Totally?77200:38:47.480 --> 00:38:50.440



And the way she would deliver deliver things, it would77300:38:50.519 --> 00:38:55.760



just cash you out guard and your yeah, just uh yeah,77400:38:56.039 --> 00:38:56.559



So I want.77500:38:56.440 --> 00:38:59.599



To work up yeah, real quick.77600:38:59.639 --> 00:39:06.119



And she's say how absolutely adorable Tig and geper together77700:39:06.360 --> 00:39:09.280



when they were they were just because as a mama77800:39:09.320 --> 00:39:11.880



bear that I just was like, oh my god, I77900:39:11.960 --> 00:39:14.159



just cannot because they are just so adorable and I78000:39:14.239 --> 00:39:15.039



just wanted.78100:39:14.719 --> 00:39:19.519



To So, yeah, that was because Gina, she has to be.78200:39:19.880 --> 00:39:24.800



Well riot, absolutely boisterous energy for sure.78300:39:24.880 --> 00:39:27.480



Oh. I also wanted to ask you about working We've78400:39:27.599 --> 00:39:32.400



heard about how humongous the sets were. They have unfortunately78500:39:32.440 --> 00:39:35.199



all been torn down now, which is a scene. But78600:39:35.840 --> 00:39:39.159



what was it like working on these huge, huge, sets78700:39:39.239 --> 00:39:41.159



that they had built in Toronto mind blowing.78800:39:41.400 --> 00:39:43.280



You step into those sets and you're there.78900:39:43.480 --> 00:39:48.079



It's the craftsmanship on that show was insane.79000:39:48.400 --> 00:39:50.519



I mean they built.79100:39:50.320 --> 00:39:54.039



A three story stage, two stages, fully functional, like you79200:39:54.039 --> 00:39:56.320



could put a crane on the second floor of that79300:39:56.440 --> 00:39:59.159



a tream it was. It was incredible and so immersive79400:39:59.280 --> 00:40:02.519



and such a prove as an actor to step into where.79500:40:02.559 --> 00:40:04.639



You know, a lot of these shows you're.79600:40:05.559 --> 00:40:08.960



You're performing on green screen to a tennis ball and79700:40:09.079 --> 00:40:11.679



imagining what's there. But you didn't have to because of79800:40:11.719 --> 00:40:14.280



the work they put in on that show. Estimate to79900:40:15.320 --> 00:40:18.800



the creative prowess of everybody involved.80000:40:18.440 --> 00:40:21.599



How were you notified? How did they tell you guys80100:40:21.639 --> 00:40:24.920



that they decided to cancel the show before before season80200:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.840



two even was you know, completed. How did they tell80300:40:28.880 --> 00:40:31.639



you and what was the feeling? What was it like80400:40:31.760 --> 00:40:35.199



to hear that We were devastated as bands, but you80500:40:35.239 --> 00:40:37.760



guys poured your heart and your soul into bringing this80600:40:37.840 --> 00:40:41.400



show to life. What was that like when that happened?80700:40:41.559 --> 00:40:44.760



Yeah, I mean, I can't speak for my cast mates.80800:40:46.440 --> 00:40:50.360



It was devastating news for sure.80900:40:51.519 --> 00:40:55.599



All all of them especially put forwards so much love81000:40:55.639 --> 00:40:57.760



and energy into it, and you know.81100:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.480



It was I was. I was so proud of the81200:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.760



work we all did. I think there was there was81300:41:04.800 --> 00:41:08.280



so much room for that show to grow as well.81400:41:08.519 --> 00:41:11.199



So all we can do is mourn what could have done.81500:41:11.360 --> 00:41:16.440



So is there a possibility like will we see you again?81600:41:16.960 --> 00:41:18.320



Or is your part in this?81700:41:18.440 --> 00:41:20.599



I mean, is an assassin outside my window right now?81800:41:20.840 --> 00:41:22.760



I just gotta say, you know, she can't answer that.81900:41:25.599 --> 00:41:27.280



I mean, the show has been canceled.82000:41:27.320 --> 00:41:31.199



Anyway, there's a red laser point for.82100:41:33.960 --> 00:41:35.360



She's around here.82200:41:36.760 --> 00:41:41.719



Well, so all right, so let's stance around this a82300:41:41.760 --> 00:41:44.159



little bit. What would you like?82400:41:45.679 --> 00:41:46.159



I love it?82500:41:46.199 --> 00:41:51.559



Okay, what what would you like to see your character do?82600:41:52.079 --> 00:41:55.800



Assuming that the show hadn't been, you know, cancel, Where82700:41:55.800 --> 00:41:57.960



would you like to have seen her end up?82800:41:58.119 --> 00:41:58.480



Yeah?82900:41:58.679 --> 00:42:00.880



Well, I would have liked her. I would have liked83000:42:00.920 --> 00:42:03.400



to see my goodness. I would have liked to see83100:42:03.440 --> 00:42:06.800



her process the grief and the loss of Bobby, and83200:42:06.880 --> 00:42:11.760



I would like her to find her comfort and solace83300:42:12.239 --> 00:42:14.760



in a new found family.83400:42:15.000 --> 00:42:18.920



I think she has a lot of misplaced rage and attitude,83500:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.000



and I think it's a lot of fun to play.83600:42:22.199 --> 00:42:24.679



But I would have liked her to see her warm83700:42:24.760 --> 00:42:28.400



up to the Starfleet Academy kids, because eventually you see83800:42:29.039 --> 00:42:33.519



they're actually not that bad. They're actually halfway decent about83900:42:33.559 --> 00:42:35.280



solving things and figuring stuff out.84000:42:35.320 --> 00:42:38.599



And maybe their methods are orthodox, but it gets stuff done.84100:42:38.599 --> 00:42:41.800



And I think eventually I would have liked to see84200:42:42.800 --> 00:42:43.519



her come around.84300:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.519



That would have been awesome. That would have been great.84400:42:47.159 --> 00:42:51.119



Who knows their signing petitions. Maybe they'll do something else.84500:42:52.280 --> 00:42:55.760



So what is your favorite Star Trek series? Of all84600:42:55.840 --> 00:42:56.920



of them? When?84700:42:56.920 --> 00:42:57.159



Do you?84800:42:57.599 --> 00:42:59.239



Or haven't you had a chance to go back and84900:42:59.280 --> 00:43:00.360



watch all six years?85000:43:01.119 --> 00:43:06.039



I unfortunately have not. I'll update you once I do that.85100:43:06.199 --> 00:43:07.760



I'll call you back in thirty years.85200:43:10.320 --> 00:43:12.280



I'm going to hold you to that. You're going to85300:43:12.360 --> 00:43:13.280



get a message for the.85400:43:15.079 --> 00:43:18.199



Thirty years from now. Okay, so favorite?85500:43:20.000 --> 00:43:24.519



Okay, that would be funny, That would really be funny.85600:43:24.599 --> 00:43:26.800



Charles is actually putting it on the schedule right now.85700:43:27.400 --> 00:43:32.760



Yeah, Hey, Google, set a reminder for thirty years from now.85800:43:36.000 --> 00:43:40.199



So, Cecilia, did you did they did the writers or85900:43:40.280 --> 00:43:43.400



did you internally develop kind of a backstory for your86000:43:43.480 --> 00:43:44.599



character internally?86100:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.360



Yes, in so far as you know, finding who she like?86200:43:50.480 --> 00:43:53.840



She is the only romulent at star Fleet as we86300:43:54.079 --> 00:44:00.639



see in season one, and understanding understanding what brought her86400:44:00.719 --> 00:44:08.239



there and the responsibility she must feel to represent her86500:44:08.360 --> 00:44:12.400



kind was something I wanted to hold as.86600:44:12.239 --> 00:44:12.840



I played her.86700:44:13.000 --> 00:44:15.079



Yeah that makes sense, love it.86800:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.679



Yeah, that's that is awesome. So so hold on a second. Here,86900:44:19.760 --> 00:44:21.320

Dog tax. Let's see the dogs.87100:44:25.880 --> 00:44:27.480



And this is one of the awesome things you get87200:44:27.519 --> 00:44:29.880

So I only joined.87600:44:47.920 --> 00:44:51.239



I joined the podcast about a year ago, so this87700:44:51.280 --> 00:44:55.599



has been quite the experience, just the blast. But as87800:44:55.599 --> 00:44:59.280



you and Uncle Jim likes to share stories of you know,87900:44:59.360 --> 00:45:05.760



actual encounters with Star Trek actors, and he told this story.88000:45:07.119 --> 00:45:12.000



Ok I gotta get to it. You get to the question. Okay,88100:45:12.360 --> 00:45:14.480

So so now the phrase is guy nod's And I88500:45:29.000 --> 00:45:31.239

Past But yeah, I didn't even think of that.89400:46:01.760 --> 00:46:08.360



There's no solidarity life, right, That's awesome.89500:46:08.440 --> 00:46:08.920



I'm sorry.89600:46:08.920 --> 00:46:11.599



I just had to throw that out there because you know,89700:46:13.119 --> 00:46:14.039



I got a quick question.89800:46:18.079 --> 00:46:19.320



No, I wish.89900:46:19.599 --> 00:46:23.760



I I also love animals, but unfortunately both me and90000:46:23.800 --> 00:46:27.159



my partner work in film. In all hours, we really90100:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.440



want a dog, but it would be quite inhumane to90200:46:30.480 --> 00:46:34.639



own one, and dog doesn't deserve that. So one day90300:46:35.039 --> 00:46:39.960



when we settled down to calmer pastors, dog is in90400:46:40.039 --> 00:46:40.480



the cards.90500:46:40.599 --> 00:46:42.000



Yeah, David, you had a question.90600:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.159



Yeah, so to stay away from Star Trek. I just90700:46:45.159 --> 00:46:47.360



had a quick question because you mentioned that Lord of90800:46:47.400 --> 00:46:50.519



the Range was your favorite genre for like, I'm curious,90900:46:50.599 --> 00:46:53.320



have you ever sharned the Range of Power TV show91000:46:53.559 --> 00:46:54.199



that came out?91100:46:54.360 --> 00:46:56.480



I did, yes, And what do you think of it?91200:46:56.599 --> 00:46:58.159



Enjoyed it for what it was?91300:46:58.320 --> 00:47:02.079



Okay, it was pretty out there, but I was just curious,91400:47:02.119 --> 00:47:03.920



like because of the Lord of the Rings and now91500:47:03.960 --> 00:47:06.280



they're coming up with a new movie of the Hunt91600:47:06.280 --> 00:47:06.800



for Gollum.91700:47:06.840 --> 00:47:08.039



I think it's what it's called.91800:47:08.599 --> 00:47:11.360



Yeah, I think so. And I have the animated series91900:47:11.639 --> 00:47:12.400



with the real hero.92000:47:12.480 --> 00:47:13.000



I believe.92100:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.519



Yeah, although I haven't watched it, I feel like i've92200:47:15.960 --> 00:47:19.840



I've fallen off in in in the new new.92300:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.159



Lord of the Rings content.92400:47:23.079 --> 00:47:28.400



But I mean I enjoy things in that genre. I92500:47:28.440 --> 00:47:32.559



think as a standalone show, I really appreciated it similarly92600:47:32.679 --> 00:47:36.679



to The Hobbit. I just felt that Actually I won't.92700:47:36.480 --> 00:47:38.480



Say anything, but I'll just say it was what.92800:47:38.400 --> 00:47:40.159



It was, Okay.92900:47:40.840 --> 00:47:41.800



I was just curious.93000:47:42.079 --> 00:47:45.800



That's also my favorite genre. It's a fantasy version of93100:47:45.880 --> 00:47:48.920



like any kind of TV show, movies and stuff show93200:47:49.159 --> 00:47:50.800



because I grew up with that kind of stuff as well.93300:47:50.800 --> 00:47:52.599



And I've been going to a lot of different types93400:47:52.639 --> 00:47:54.960



of reisance fairs. I don't know if Canada had any93500:47:55.039 --> 00:47:56.239



of that kind of stuff over there.93600:47:56.320 --> 00:47:58.079



Well a couple, yeah, ran fairs for sure.93700:47:58.280 --> 00:47:59.880



Yeah, and so I was just curious, do you like93800:47:59.880 --> 00:48:03.199



to dress up in your slash Romulin elf outfit?93900:48:05.000 --> 00:48:05.360



Okay?94000:48:05.519 --> 00:48:09.760



No, yes, I don't have the Romulin outfit. I wish94100:48:09.840 --> 00:48:12.199



I did. I really wish I did that.94200:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.400



My gosh, can we take a moment to be to94300:48:15.559 --> 00:48:20.039



just talk about the costume really quickly because my god,94400:48:20.360 --> 00:48:24.880



they were so good. The detail was insane. I mean94500:48:24.920 --> 00:48:26.960



I didn't get to look at all of the costumes obviously,94600:48:27.000 --> 00:48:30.599



but like even the war college uniform, just the you know,94700:48:30.679 --> 00:48:33.639



like the leather is embossed with little tiny deltas all94800:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.800



the way through. If you didn't see it, like if94900:48:35.840 --> 00:48:39.079



you get up close, it's just like why would you95000:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.519



so cool? And like every measurement, by the way known95100:48:42.559 --> 00:48:45.360



to mankind was taken up me. I wish I didn't95200:48:45.400 --> 00:48:55.119



know existed. I was like, oh my god, you're taking95300:48:55.320 --> 00:48:56.519



and they're like there are no.95400:48:56.400 --> 00:48:57.239



Ways in space.95500:48:58.280 --> 00:49:01.639



Wow, okay, so everything is actually there.95600:49:02.440 --> 00:49:03.119



Everything is.95700:49:03.639 --> 00:49:06.960



It's actually a funny, funny video of that just reminded95800:49:07.000 --> 00:49:11.639



me of Marina Sirno Deanna Troy where she is going95900:49:11.800 --> 00:49:17.840



through the UH Star Trek next Generation and all the96000:49:17.840 --> 00:49:20.880



the under they had to have because I think I96100:49:20.920 --> 00:49:22.320



don't know if she was the one that said there96200:49:22.320 --> 00:49:25.920



were no pandelions and stuff like that, but it was.96300:49:26.119 --> 00:49:29.639



It was really quite interesting, just just all the and96400:49:29.679 --> 00:49:33.360



I've heard from other uh Stars, you know, like nine,96500:49:33.519 --> 00:49:37.400



like the the all its universe, the the outs that96600:49:37.760 --> 00:49:42.159



seem the most interesting but they're the most uncomfortable to96700:49:42.280 --> 00:49:46.440



wear and so interesting just all the everything that you96800:49:46.519 --> 00:49:50.800



all go through that looks shirtless and wonderful and we96900:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.639



don't know even half the story what you have to97000:49:56.079 --> 00:49:58.199



but now I'm obsessed with that. You're saying that the97100:49:58.480 --> 00:50:02.400



the your coast with like on your foreheads.97200:50:02.480 --> 00:50:09.480



Yes, how long did it take you to get into97300:50:09.559 --> 00:50:12.280



your kit? When when you got arrived on set? How97400:50:12.320 --> 00:50:14.880



long did it take for you to step out of97500:50:14.960 --> 00:50:16.400



you and into her?97600:50:17.280 --> 00:50:19.559



Three a half hours? Wow?97700:50:20.440 --> 00:50:20.880



Wow?97800:50:21.400 --> 00:50:21.639



Yeah?97900:50:21.920 --> 00:50:23.880



Where you're sitting next to Jayden the whole time.98000:50:24.320 --> 00:50:27.079



A lot of the time. Yes, yeah, he'd be in here,98100:50:27.320 --> 00:50:29.519



we'd be he'd be back here and he was like,98200:50:30.679 --> 00:50:35.480



go hi. But yeah, it's a long process for sure.98300:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.360



And it's it's a multi step process, you know.98400:50:38.800 --> 00:50:41.159



It's like you go get a wig cap on, then98500:50:41.159 --> 00:50:42.880



you go to prosthetics and they put the forehead on98600:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.000



and the ears on, and then they start airbrushing and98700:50:45.000 --> 00:50:46.559



they put the eyebrows on. Then you go back to98800:50:46.599 --> 00:50:47.920



here to put the wig on, and then you go98900:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.639



back to prosthetics do more air brushing.99000:50:49.880 --> 00:50:50.880



Then you go to makeup and.99100:50:51.159 --> 00:50:54.039



You put your wardrobe on. It it's a whole it's99200:50:54.039 --> 00:50:57.639



a whole journey getting into it. But I I think99300:50:57.639 --> 00:51:01.840



it just it helps it help get into that headspace.99400:51:02.679 --> 00:51:05.519



I'm an actor who likes to work from the outside in.99500:51:05.679 --> 00:51:08.760



I think informed a lot about the of who your99600:51:08.840 --> 00:51:11.159



character is by how they appear and how they dress99700:51:11.199 --> 00:51:14.719



and how they hold themselves. And those especially the like99800:51:14.760 --> 00:51:18.920



the formal leather jackets, the war college uniform.99900:51:19.039 --> 00:51:23.480



Once you're in that, it looks cool. It's very stiff100000:51:23.599 --> 00:51:24.599



and quite heavy.100100:51:25.239 --> 00:51:30.039



Wow, and the collar is like tight because it's form fitted.100200:51:30.440 --> 00:51:33.039



And so you're in that and now suddenly you're standing100300:51:33.280 --> 00:51:37.360



so upright in your posture and you start feeling that100400:51:37.519 --> 00:51:42.199



militaristic quality. And yeah, it was a great process to100500:51:42.199 --> 00:51:42.679



be a part of it.100600:51:42.800 --> 00:51:43.840



I just have a quick question.100700:51:44.199 --> 00:51:46.880



So you're saying that there's a step by step process100800:51:46.880 --> 00:51:47.920



of putting all the makeup on.100900:51:48.360 --> 00:51:50.320



What happens when you end up getting an it. You101000:51:50.320 --> 00:51:51.000



have to start over.101100:51:51.280 --> 00:51:56.760



You stuck it up, you suffer, no hair is feeling nice.101200:51:56.760 --> 00:51:59.679



They'll give you like a pointy brash or whatever, and101300:51:59.719 --> 00:52:02.639



you can poke at it, but it takes three and101400:52:02.639 --> 00:52:03.920



a half hours to get into it.101500:52:03.960 --> 00:52:05.719



They're not going to take it off and put it101600:52:05.760 --> 00:52:09.360



back on. So there, and you know you're not going101700:52:09.440 --> 00:52:10.039



to work.101800:52:10.000 --> 00:52:13.239



Ruin the work of all these artists who are there101900:52:13.519 --> 00:52:15.000



for longer hours than we are.102000:52:15.199 --> 00:52:17.599



Shout out to the processing team who are.102100:52:17.480 --> 00:52:21.239

we leave, like just insane.102300:52:23.559 --> 00:52:27.079



I don't know how they do it, but yeah, I'm102400:52:27.119 --> 00:52:31.760



not messing with their work. Okay, curious, Yeah, lots of poken.102500:52:37.000 --> 00:52:37.360

know we have a theme song for this one.118201:02:00.079 --> 01:02:01.440



That was not a Clinton song.118301:02:03.599 --> 01:02:05.599



All right, guys, this is part of the show where118401:02:05.639 --> 01:02:09.920



we sadly enough remember those members of our sci fi118501:02:10.039 --> 01:02:12.480



family who are no longer with us, and so that118601:02:13.039 --> 01:02:13.679



we return to.118701:02:15.000 --> 01:02:17.119



Yeah, Jim, And just before I get started, I will118801:02:17.199 --> 01:02:19.559



acknowledge the elephant in the room. The best internet signal118901:02:19.599 --> 01:02:22.199



at my house's outdoors, and my neighbor is now mowing,119001:02:22.320 --> 01:02:25.320



So if you hear a mower in the background, just119101:02:25.559 --> 01:02:29.840



ignore it and let's carry on. So our first remembrance119201:02:29.880 --> 01:02:33.960



this week goes out to, of course, actor Gary Graham.119301:02:34.079 --> 01:02:36.239



Gary Graham was the actor who played two roles on119401:02:36.320 --> 01:02:39.519



Star Trek. He played the Ocampan Tannis in the Star119501:02:39.559 --> 01:02:43.719



Trek Voyager second season episode Cold Fire, and of perhaps119601:02:43.760 --> 01:02:47.360



more famously, played the Vulcan ambassador Solvall in all four119701:02:47.400 --> 01:02:50.920



seasons of Star Trek Enterprise. One of my favorite Vulcans119801:02:51.360 --> 01:02:54.599



and absolute asshole throughout the entire series. It was really119901:02:54.599 --> 01:02:58.159



fun to watch. Graham was once considered for the roles120001:02:58.199 --> 01:03:02.599



of both Benjamin Cisco and Captain Janeway, and beyond the120101:03:02.599 --> 01:03:05.320



Realm of Star Trek, He's probably best known for playing120201:03:06.239 --> 01:03:10.280



Detective Matthew Sykes in Alien Nation, one of Jim's favorite shows,120301:03:10.280 --> 01:03:13.320



I believe, as well as the spinoff TV movies that120401:03:13.360 --> 01:03:17.400



happened kind of in the mid nineties Realm. In twenty fourteen,120501:03:17.519 --> 01:03:20.159



he got to reprise his role as Sovall in the120601:03:20.199 --> 01:03:23.760



fan made short film Prelude to Axinar, which of course120701:03:23.840 --> 01:03:26.639



co starred a whole bunch of other Star Trek alumni.120801:03:27.039 --> 01:03:29.880



He was also a singer, a songwriter, and a guitarist120901:03:30.280 --> 01:03:33.719



in his band The Sons of Kirk, formerly the Gary121001:03:34.000 --> 01:03:37.559



Graham garage Band and the Gary Graham Band, a Star121101:03:37.599 --> 01:03:40.400



Trek themed band. I actually got to meet Gary when121201:03:40.400 --> 01:03:42.719



I was in Los Angeles in twenty twenty for the121301:03:42.760 --> 01:03:46.480



Star Trek Bicard premiere. He was very cordial with me121401:03:46.519 --> 01:03:49.599



in a super casual setting. I will say no more,121501:03:49.679 --> 01:03:52.800



but he seemed like a really cool guy. And he121601:03:52.880 --> 01:03:54.760



has this quote that I really like. He said, I'm121701:03:54.760 --> 01:03:57.559



one of those actors who's happy even when he's not working.121801:03:57.639 --> 01:03:59.960



I'm not a workaholic by any stretch of the imagine.121901:04:00.800 --> 01:04:03.719



My attitude has always been to have a life first122001:04:03.800 --> 01:04:05.639



and then go do the work. And I have to122101:04:05.679 --> 01:04:08.199



tell you, Gary, that's kind of how I live my122201:04:08.239 --> 01:04:10.400



life too. I work forty forty two hours a week122301:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.159



and that's about all I work, and I do the122401:04:13.159 --> 01:04:15.159



best with the time that I give it. So, Gary Graham,122501:04:16.039 --> 01:04:17.559



it was really fun to be able to meet you122601:04:17.599 --> 01:04:20.559



back in twenty twenty. Sorry to have lost you back122701:04:20.559 --> 01:04:22.320



in twenty twenty four at the age of seventy three122801:04:22.360 --> 01:04:27.000



years old. Happy birthday to Gary Graham. Happy birthday as122901:04:27.039 --> 01:04:30.239



well to Joan Marshall, the actress who played Lieutenant Aril123001:04:30.400 --> 01:04:34.760



Shaw in the TOS first season episode Court martial. Marshall123101:04:34.880 --> 01:04:37.159



entered show business when she was hired as a show123201:04:37.239 --> 01:04:43.480



girl at Chicago's che Perrie at the age of fourteen123301:04:43.559 --> 01:04:46.559



years old and began appearing in Las Vegas two years later.123401:04:47.039 --> 01:04:50.559



She made around ten feature films, liking only a few123501:04:50.559 --> 01:04:54.079



of them. In nineteen sixty one, she starred in Homicidal,123601:04:56.000 --> 01:04:58.920



playing two different roles, one male and one female, and123701:04:58.960 --> 01:05:02.440



that act film has sort of developed a cult following123801:05:02.559 --> 01:05:05.320



over the years. I've never seen it, but it sounds123901:05:05.360 --> 01:05:07.519



interesting and I'm interested in cult films. We will check124001:05:07.519 --> 01:05:10.079



it out. She had a gift for comedy, often appearing124101:05:10.119 --> 01:05:12.840



on such television shows as The Jack Benny Program and124201:05:12.880 --> 01:05:16.440



The Red Skelton Hour. In the seventies, she collaborated with124301:05:16.519 --> 01:05:20.400



her old school friend, the award winning writer Dirk Wayne Summers,124401:05:20.440 --> 01:05:24.519



co writing sitcoms, and then, of course, she eventually married124501:05:24.679 --> 01:05:27.199



Hal Ashby. And if you don't know that name, he's124601:05:27.239 --> 01:05:30.760



the gentleman associated with the movie Shampoo, and that movie124701:05:30.880 --> 01:05:35.559



is actually unfortunately based on real events without her knowledge.124801:05:35.639 --> 01:05:39.480



Over the first six months of their marriage, at his insistence,124901:05:39.599 --> 01:05:43.159



she sort of related personal experiences from her life, you know,125001:05:43.280 --> 01:05:44.960



kind of as a like get to know you activity.125101:05:45.000 --> 01:05:46.880



I don't know what led to their marriage, but I125201:05:46.880 --> 01:05:49.840



guess they didn't know each other that well. Then he125301:05:49.920 --> 01:05:52.960



turned those details into the romantic comedy Shampoo, and she125401:05:53.079 --> 01:05:55.639



was not very pleased to have all of her laundry125501:05:55.679 --> 01:05:59.320



sort of aired for the public in that movie. But125601:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.599



that's okay because at the sort towards the end of125701:06:02.639 --> 01:06:05.599



her life, she visited Jamaica, she fell in love with125801:06:05.639 --> 01:06:09.480



the island and she eventually moved there and that is125901:06:09.519 --> 01:06:11.599



where she spent the rest of her life until nineteen126001:06:11.679 --> 01:06:14.719



ninety two. So Joan Marshall, thank you so much for126101:06:14.760 --> 01:06:19.880



your Star Trek contributions and happy birthday to you. Also126201:06:19.920 --> 01:06:23.400



saying happy birthday this week to Alan Scaife, the British126301:06:23.480 --> 01:06:26.280



actor who appeared in two episodes of the Next Generation126401:06:26.960 --> 01:06:29.360



and in an episode of Star Trek Voyager. He was126501:06:29.400 --> 01:06:32.880



the first actor who was cast and filmed scenes as126601:06:32.920 --> 01:06:36.400



the kazon Ogla Jabin for a Star Trek Voyagers first126701:06:36.400 --> 01:06:40.920



season episode Caretaker, but the role was later recast with126801:06:41.000 --> 01:06:45.280



the actor Gavin o'heerley, who actually overfilmed all of the126901:06:45.320 --> 01:06:47.519



stuff that Alan had already worked on. And it was127001:06:47.559 --> 01:06:50.880



because Alan sort of had a European movie that he127101:06:51.039 --> 01:06:54.079



was involved with. It conflicted, and he had to sort127201:06:54.119 --> 01:06:57.000



of break his contract with Star Trek to go do127301:06:57.079 --> 01:07:01.599



that instead. He's probably, however, best known for starring as127401:07:01.760 --> 01:07:05.679



Doctor Bradley Talmadge on Seven Days, which was a science127501:07:05.719 --> 01:07:08.519



fiction show from the late nineties early two thousands. One127601:07:08.559 --> 01:07:11.840



of those kind of upn guilty pleasure shows, if you127701:07:11.840 --> 01:07:15.440



know what I mean, really fun to watch, not much127801:07:15.480 --> 01:07:18.159



to it, but lots of campy action and clever plots127901:07:18.159 --> 01:07:21.840



and cool gadgets, so I was a fan. He also128001:07:21.920 --> 01:07:25.840



played arch Magis in earthca from two thousand and five,128101:07:26.440 --> 01:07:31.119



and starred as Doctor Rubin Zeller in Sequest DSV, which128201:07:31.119 --> 01:07:33.840



I know is a show that comes up occasionally on128301:07:33.920 --> 01:07:36.760



our podcast from way back in the nineteen ninety three Days.128401:07:37.039 --> 01:07:39.039



He actually had his own character too. I don't know128501:07:39.039 --> 01:07:41.079



if Paul has the Playmates figure or not, but he128601:07:41.159 --> 01:07:44.320



had his own Playmates figure from nineteen ninety three, So128701:07:44.400 --> 01:07:49.760



perhaps somewhere in Paul's archive is that Sequest DSV toy.128801:07:49.840 --> 01:07:52.760



So Happy birthday and lots of love going out to128901:07:52.800 --> 01:07:55.480



Alan Scariff, lost just two years ago in twenty twenty four.129001:07:56.880 --> 01:08:00.960



Happy Birthday to Jesse Lawrence Ferguson, the actor who appeared129101:08:01.000 --> 01:08:04.400



as Lieutan in the Next Generation first season episode Code129201:08:04.440 --> 01:08:08.079



of Honor. This deep voice actor broke into show business129301:08:08.079 --> 01:08:10.960



with a guest role on the popular television series Starsky129401:08:11.039 --> 01:08:13.599



and Hutch in nineteen seventy nine. I know a lot129501:08:13.639 --> 01:08:16.159



of us remember that show. That same year, he landed129601:08:16.199 --> 01:08:19.520



his first film role in The Onion Field, which also129701:08:19.600 --> 01:08:22.119



starred Ronnie Cox. That's actually a pretty darn good movie.129801:08:22.159 --> 01:08:25.039



You should check that out. In the nineteen eighties, he129901:08:25.119 --> 01:08:27.399



had lots of guest appearances on shows like The A130001:08:27.560 --> 01:08:30.239



Team in Hill Street Blues. He was also in the130101:08:30.279 --> 01:08:34.880



cult classic Prince of Darkness from nineteen eighty seven. But130201:08:34.960 --> 01:08:36.600



the one that I really like to cite him for130301:08:36.720 --> 01:08:38.840



is he appeared in the nineteen eighty four movie The130401:08:38.880 --> 01:08:43.279



Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzi, of course across the Eighth Dimension.130501:08:43.680 --> 01:08:46.600



And that's not only because that's an awesome cult classic movie,130601:08:46.600 --> 01:08:49.000



but it also starred like nine other Star Trek people.130701:08:49.119 --> 01:08:51.359



So if you're a Star Trek person and you haven't130801:08:51.359 --> 01:08:54.359



seen the Adventures of Buckaru Bonzi, you need to see130901:08:54.399 --> 01:08:59.920



that movie. Happy Birthday to Jesse Lawrence Ferguson, Happy birth131001:09:00.239 --> 01:09:03.680



as well to Bernie Terry Casey, who played a Calvin131101:09:03.760 --> 01:09:07.199



Hudson in Deep Space nine second season episodes The Machi131201:09:07.319 --> 01:09:09.840



Parts one and Part two. One of my favorite kind131301:09:09.880 --> 01:09:12.800



of one off characters. I love Calvin Hudson. He's such131401:09:12.880 --> 01:09:17.079



a cool, cool character, leader of the Makis. Casey was131501:09:17.159 --> 01:09:19.479



not a Star Trek fan when he was cast as Hudson.131601:09:19.800 --> 01:09:22.279



In a nineteen ninety four interview, he said, I did131701:09:22.279 --> 01:09:24.760



the makeis because I wanted to work with Avery Brooks,131801:09:25.159 --> 01:09:28.239



whom I admired as an actor. I love that. I'm131901:09:28.239 --> 01:09:30.720



glad you got to work with him, even for two episodes.132001:09:31.199 --> 01:09:34.520



Before becoming an actor, Casey was a track and field132101:09:34.600 --> 01:09:38.960



champion and a professional football player. That's right. He played132201:09:39.479 --> 01:09:42.039



for the National Football League San Francisco forty nine Ers132301:09:42.079 --> 01:09:44.680



from nineteen sixty one to sixty six, and he played132401:09:44.680 --> 01:09:48.520



for the Rams from sixty seven to sixty eight. But132501:09:48.880 --> 01:09:52.880



more important than I think his sort of physical prowess132601:09:53.319 --> 01:09:57.000



was his artistic prowess. He was an accomplished painter whose132701:09:57.039 --> 01:10:00.600



work has widely been exhibited, and he was also a132801:10:00.640 --> 01:10:04.199



poet with several published books to his name. In fact,132901:10:04.520 --> 01:10:07.319



while he was playing pro football, he was profiled by133001:10:07.439 --> 01:10:10.960



NFL Films, and he was interviewed while painting. He said133101:10:10.960 --> 01:10:16.479



that he only played football basically for money, and if133201:10:16.479 --> 01:10:19.680



he could make as much money painting, he wouldn't play133301:10:19.680 --> 01:10:25.159



football at all. I love that an actor and a director.133401:10:25.600 --> 01:10:27.319



You might have seen him in Bill and Ted's excellent133501:10:27.359 --> 01:10:30.520



adventure Never Say Never Again or Revenge of the Nerds.133601:10:31.239 --> 01:10:34.199



He was also a member of sag Afra. He worked133701:10:34.319 --> 01:10:37.000



in several positions for this union and was voted to133801:10:37.079 --> 01:10:42.319



serve as SAG National Board alternate to the Hollywood Division133901:10:42.359 --> 01:10:44.920



Board of Directors, so he was involved in the politics134001:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.319



of SAG after along the way Bernie Terry Casey, Wow,134101:10:48.760 --> 01:10:52.640



what didn't you do? Buddy? Happy birthday to you. Happy134201:10:52.640 --> 01:10:55.680



birthday as well to James Darren. I love this guy.134301:10:55.760 --> 01:10:58.239



He was an actor, director, and singer who played the134401:10:58.239 --> 01:11:02.119



holographic lounge singer Vic Fan in the sixth and seven134501:11:02.199 --> 01:11:05.119



seasons of Star Trek Deep Space nine, of course, also134601:11:05.159 --> 01:11:09.359



playing the mirror universe Vic Fontaine in The Emperor's New Cloak.134701:11:10.079 --> 01:11:15.159



James William Erkolani was his original name. He was from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,134801:11:15.159 --> 01:11:17.279



and then moved to New York City to fulfill his134901:11:17.359 --> 01:11:20.600



dream of becoming a singer and an actor. How American135001:11:20.720 --> 01:11:23.880



is that. After a short time taking acting classes, he135101:11:23.920 --> 01:11:27.640



met Columbia Pictures talent agent Joy Selznick, who gave him135201:11:27.640 --> 01:11:31.479



a seven year contract with Columbia in nineteen fifty five.135301:11:31.560 --> 01:11:34.479



He then moved to Hollywood, California, and stood in front135401:11:34.479 --> 01:11:38.600



of a camera for nineteen Columbia Films. The following year,135501:11:39.039 --> 01:11:42.319



he took his stage name James Darren, named after the135601:11:42.439 --> 01:11:46.640



Kaiser Darren sports car. There you Go. He named himself135701:11:46.680 --> 01:11:49.560



after a sports car. Several movies throughout the nineteen fifties,135801:11:49.560 --> 01:11:52.319



including Gidget from nineteen fifty nine. I know you've seen135901:11:52.319 --> 01:11:54.960



that movie. If you haven't, another classic, you should see it.136001:11:55.439 --> 01:11:58.359



He portrayed the leading role of doctor Anthony Newman in136101:11:58.479 --> 01:12:02.880



the Time Tunnel and Paul were Here. He would extol136201:12:02.920 --> 01:12:05.560



the virtues of that science fiction series from nineteen sixty136301:12:05.560 --> 01:12:09.279



six to nineteen sixty seven. After that was canceled, he136401:12:10.319 --> 01:12:13.319



producer Irwin Allen cast Darren in the role of the136501:12:13.359 --> 01:12:16.399



science fiction pilot The Man from the Twenty fifth Century,136601:12:16.520 --> 01:12:20.479



which also featured John Crawford. However, that project was not136701:12:20.680 --> 01:12:24.039



picked up as a series, but he kept busy throughout136801:12:24.039 --> 01:12:26.760



the seventies, eighties, and nineties, all along the way, So James Darren,136901:12:27.359 --> 01:12:31.000



great singer, great actor. Thank you Vic for all the137001:12:31.000 --> 01:12:35.039



good times and a happy birth idio saying happy birthday137101:12:35.039 --> 01:12:37.319



this week to her to Ware, the actress who played137201:12:37.439 --> 01:12:41.000



Yvette Picard, Yes, that Picard in The Next Journation first137301:12:41.039 --> 01:12:44.000



season episode where No One Has Gone Before. She was137401:12:44.039 --> 01:12:47.239



a guitarist and of folk singer in the Washington, DC area,137501:12:47.359 --> 01:12:49.600



and moved to New York City and began acting in137601:12:49.600 --> 01:12:54.439



the early nineteen thirties. Actually made her Broadway debut in137701:12:54.560 --> 01:12:58.880



nineteen thirty five in a play called Let Freedom Ring.137801:13:00.199 --> 01:13:03.199



She was I love this story about her. She was137901:13:03.239 --> 01:13:08.119



actually blacklisted by Hollywood during the McCarthy era for taking138001:13:08.159 --> 01:13:10.960



the Fifth Amendment and refusing to testify before the House138101:13:11.119 --> 01:13:15.439



on American Activities Committee, which would lead to financial hardship138201:13:15.560 --> 01:13:19.920



and the loss of her and her husband's home. But138301:13:21.520 --> 01:13:23.760



sad times, but man, I love the fact that she138401:13:23.840 --> 01:13:26.199



kind of stood on principle and was like, no, I'm138501:13:26.199 --> 01:13:29.600



not going to bow to you. You freaking my mouth.138601:13:31.239 --> 01:13:34.359



Where is perhaps best known for her part as Rosie138701:13:34.399 --> 01:13:38.079



in Cocoon from nineteen eighty five. She also had a138801:13:38.159 --> 01:13:42.279



role in the movie twenty ten from nineteen eighty four138901:13:42.800 --> 01:13:48.479



as Jesse Bowman, the astronaut David Bowman's mother. But I139001:13:48.720 --> 01:13:50.720



love the stuff that she did. Kind of away from139101:13:50.760 --> 01:13:53.479



the screen to Gear and where her and her husband139201:13:53.479 --> 01:13:58.720



co founded the Wheel Gear Theatricum Botanicum on their Topanga139301:13:58.720 --> 01:14:01.920



Canyon property down there in California, which is a unique139401:14:01.920 --> 01:14:06.279



open air theater located in the Topagia Canyon, California area,139501:14:06.359 --> 01:14:09.560



tucked into a natural mountain sanctuary. It's well known for139601:14:09.600 --> 01:14:13.800



producing plays by William Shakespeare and hosting folk music concerts.139701:14:14.439 --> 01:14:17.119



She was a veteran actress and eventually published her own139801:14:17.159 --> 01:14:21.479



memoir entitled Fantastic Journey My Life with Wheel Gear in139901:14:21.560 --> 01:14:25.359



two thousand. Herd Aware, we really appreciate your contributions. I140001:14:25.359 --> 01:14:27.600



can't believe it's been more than twenty years since we140101:14:27.680 --> 01:14:30.039



lost you. But you were eighty eight, so you had140201:14:30.039 --> 01:14:33.319



a pretty darn good life. Happy birthday to you, herd A.140301:14:34.199 --> 01:14:36.840



And last but noon least we honor this week Herbert140401:14:37.199 --> 01:14:40.399



Barry Morse. And you're saying when we see on Star Trek,140501:14:40.479 --> 01:14:43.520



Well he wasn't. But we're going beyond here. That's right.140601:14:43.560 --> 01:14:47.359



He's the British Canadian actor, writer, and director best known140701:14:47.760 --> 01:14:51.680



for playing Lieutenant Philip Garrard, the principal antagonist of The140801:14:51.760 --> 01:14:55.199



Fugitive from nineteen sixty three to nineteen sixty seven. In fact,140901:14:55.640 --> 01:14:59.199



his portrayal was so convincing on this show that he141001:14:59.239 --> 01:15:03.680



would eventually be accosted in public for the actions of141101:15:03.720 --> 01:15:05.960



his character, and he was once called the most hated141201:15:06.039 --> 01:15:10.159



man in America based on the character that he played141301:15:10.239 --> 01:15:14.079



on television. His biographer, Robert E. Wood reported that he141401:15:14.079 --> 01:15:19.199



would humorously deflect comments by feigning ignorance about his character141501:15:19.640 --> 01:15:23.000



and revert to his native British accent, because, of course141601:15:23.039 --> 01:15:25.520



on The Fugitive he had the American accent, and most141701:15:25.520 --> 01:15:27.880



people didn't know that he was naturally a brit So141801:15:28.600 --> 01:15:32.079



I love that. Now we've got planes going overhead. There141901:15:32.119 --> 01:15:35.560



you go, Doctor Victor. He was also known for playing142001:15:35.640 --> 01:15:40.720



doctor Victor Bergmann on Jerry and Sylvia Anderson's show Space142101:15:40.800 --> 01:15:42.880



nineteen ninety nine, which I of course liked to talk142201:15:42.880 --> 01:15:44.680



about because I just finished up watching all the way142301:15:44.680 --> 01:15:47.119



through from nineteen seventy five through nineteen seventy seven. He142401:15:47.159 --> 01:15:52.680



played the antagonist in that first season, but his character142501:15:53.000 --> 01:15:56.000



was dropped for the second season because he and his142601:15:56.159 --> 01:15:59.600



agent couldn't come to an agreement with the studio on salary. Essentially,142701:15:59.640 --> 01:16:02.720



they want to offer him a much lower salary for142801:16:02.760 --> 01:16:05.239



season two and he didn't want to take it, so142901:16:05.479 --> 01:16:08.000



we get him for one season, which was awesome. He143001:16:08.079 --> 01:16:11.079



was a great sort of mustache twirling villain in that143101:16:11.159 --> 01:16:16.319



first season. His performing career spanned seven decades and had143201:16:16.439 --> 01:16:19.199



hundreds of roles across film, television, stage and radio. At143301:16:19.279 --> 01:16:22.079



various times, he worked in the UK, Canada, and the143401:16:22.159 --> 01:16:25.640



United States. He was a steady fixture on BBC and143501:16:25.720 --> 01:16:29.279



CBC for many years and was the artistic director of143601:16:29.319 --> 01:16:32.560



the Shaw Festival, which is a pretty prestigious role. He143701:16:32.720 --> 01:16:37.520



long patronized a number of charitable organizations as well, including143801:16:37.560 --> 01:16:40.920



the Toronto based Performing Arts Lodges of Canada, the Royal143901:16:41.000 --> 01:16:46.079



Theatrical Fund, the London Shakespeare Workout, Prison Project Actors Fund144001:16:46.079 --> 01:16:50.479



of Canada, the Samaritans Book Pals, and the Parkinson's Disease144101:16:50.600 --> 01:16:53.520



Treatment and Research. Because he had lost his wife to144201:16:53.600 --> 01:16:58.239



Parkinson's and there's some question about I believe he may144301:16:58.239 --> 01:16:59.520



have had some of that at the end there too,144401:17:00.119 --> 01:17:03.560



happy birthday to a wonderful man Star Trek adjacent through144501:17:03.600 --> 01:17:07.279



his various science fiction roles. But happy birthday to Barry144601:17:07.720 --> 01:17:10.840



Morse and that, folks does it for our remember this144701:17:10.960 --> 01:17:11.439



this week?144801:17:11.800 --> 01:17:12.119



You got?144901:17:15.399 --> 01:17:16.000



Oh do I?145001:17:16.399 --> 01:17:16.560



Oh?145101:17:16.680 --> 01:17:22.119

possible television series that would have started Lancing as Gary146001:17:49.039 --> 01:17:52.640



Seven's character, but unfortunately it was not picked up. I146101:17:52.680 --> 01:17:54.640

Worf does, right, I mean, he did the same thing164201:34:28.720 --> 01:34:29.319



with his brother.164301:34:31.359 --> 01:34:33.079



He the the.164401:34:34.560 --> 01:34:37.199



You you can never what you can never do is164501:34:37.239 --> 01:34:42.359



you can never judge Wharf against clingon ideals. You have164601:34:42.520 --> 01:34:47.039



to judge him against kind of the confluence of Starfleet164701:34:47.399 --> 01:34:50.960



or like human you know, and cling on ideals. And164801:34:51.119 --> 01:34:52.880



he does live in both worlds. And I think that164901:34:53.000 --> 01:34:55.960



that's why his character is so compelling, because he's kind165001:34:56.000 --> 01:34:59.039



of screw up, right, and Warf is like classically one165101:34:59.039 --> 01:35:02.279



of the worst dads ever on Star Trek, right, Like165201:35:02.479 --> 01:35:06.079



he's he's just a terrible, terrible father and he can't165301:35:06.199 --> 01:35:08.319



just seem to get it right, but he keeps trying,165401:35:08.439 --> 01:35:11.319



and he keeps looking for different ways. Yeah. Yeah, so165501:35:11.439 --> 01:35:13.920



you can tell he's invested in his family and his165601:35:14.119 --> 01:35:16.600



son and you know Kayler when she comes around and165701:35:16.680 --> 01:35:20.439



like that kind of stuff. But uh, yeah, yeah, poor Alexander.165801:35:20.880 --> 01:35:24.199



Actually, well, jed z jed Zea had a I can't165901:35:24.279 --> 01:35:27.760



remember that. If it was, I can't remember it was166001:35:27.840 --> 01:35:30.399



in if it was in you Were Cordially Invited or166101:35:30.720 --> 01:35:32.960



which one. But she had a great line about him that,166201:35:33.720 --> 01:35:36.800



you know, he's a Klingon that was raised by humans,166301:35:36.920 --> 01:35:40.520



but he was like so into the whole. I think166401:35:40.560 --> 01:35:43.760



it was during their their you know, so wanting to166501:35:43.840 --> 01:35:47.159



be a traditional Klingon when they got married, and she166601:35:47.319 --> 01:35:51.079



thought that was kind of you know, ironic, I guess, but.166701:35:51.640 --> 01:35:54.600



Yeah, yeah, he didn't know kind of where to put166801:35:54.720 --> 01:35:58.399



his foot right, Like he he lived in both worlds,166901:35:58.439 --> 01:36:02.359



but he felt uncomfortable being a representative of both worlds.167001:36:02.399 --> 01:36:07.920



I don't know, i'd be great work to get Michael167101:36:08.000 --> 01:36:11.479



Dorn and just have like a whole wow, I would.167201:36:11.319 --> 01:36:17.119



Just be I think if he had no Well, Wolf's167301:36:17.159 --> 01:36:20.039



character was thrown back and forth between different things he167401:36:20.119 --> 01:36:23.039



really had no control over a lot of stuff, and167501:36:23.159 --> 01:36:27.279



then all of a sudden, when Alexander came along, his responsibilities,167601:36:27.399 --> 01:36:29.119



all of a sudden, he went guy high and he167701:36:29.239 --> 01:36:30.439



was like, I didn't know how to deal with it.167801:36:30.560 --> 01:36:33.560



So it's like that's I guess we call bad dad.167901:36:33.880 --> 01:36:36.479



I guess, But I mean technically he technically he was168001:36:36.640 --> 01:36:40.640



learning so and as he loaned, you know, things happened.168101:36:40.520 --> 01:36:43.319



But he never got better. He only got worse.168201:36:44.680 --> 01:36:47.000



Because he made that decision in the in the show,168301:36:47.119 --> 01:36:49.680



he made that decision that he didn't want Alexander he168401:36:49.760 --> 01:36:50.840



sent him initially.168501:36:50.920 --> 01:36:54.199



I think he sho did the best that he could168601:36:55.079 --> 01:36:57.399



I guess, or what he thought he could do well.168701:36:57.439 --> 01:37:00.920



Because like Kaylar, that was part her fault because she168801:37:01.039 --> 01:37:04.840



did not want Alexander to be raised in the Klingon168901:37:04.920 --> 01:37:08.359



world because she was part She wasn't full Klingon either,169001:37:08.560 --> 01:37:11.560



so it was a whole there's a whole dynamic there.169101:37:11.760 --> 01:37:11.960



Yeah.169201:37:14.039 --> 01:37:16.359



So does that make Alexander a quarter human?169301:37:17.960 --> 01:37:18.359



I don't know.169401:37:21.199 --> 01:37:21.600



Happened?169501:37:21.760 --> 01:37:21.960



Yeah?169601:37:22.159 --> 01:37:27.880



No, no, because well no, I don't know Chris Warf169701:37:28.000 --> 01:37:28.960



was raised by human.169801:37:29.000 --> 01:37:29.319



I don't know.169901:37:29.439 --> 01:37:31.319



He's for schlub.170001:37:31.479 --> 01:37:36.079



Yeah, probably a quarter human.170101:37:51.960 --> 01:37:52.479



Mm hmmm.170201:37:53.479 --> 01:37:59.039



It just so happened that you chose this, Okay, I170301:37:59.159 --> 01:38:06.279



love it. A strange force has entered the galaxy. A170401:38:06.439 --> 01:38:08.640



future of mankind is at stake.170501:38:09.439 --> 01:38:14.159



It could only mean one thing. What's happened. I do170601:38:14.279 --> 01:38:16.399



not think you realize the gravity of your situation.170701:38:18.039 --> 01:38:19.960



The vacation is over.170801:38:22.600 --> 01:38:28.119



No, the crew of the starship Enterprise is taking adventure170901:38:28.600 --> 01:38:40.119



where it has never gone before. From the mind of171001:38:40.199 --> 01:38:41.720



a madman has.171101:38:41.560 --> 01:38:46.319



The force has taken control about this full ahead through171201:38:46.399 --> 01:38:49.359



the center of the galaxy. You know we'll never make171301:38:49.399 --> 01:38:52.079



it through the Great Barrier to the Final Frontier.171401:38:53.640 --> 01:38:54.199



Fascinating.171501:38:55.319 --> 01:39:00.199



How often have you done this? Actually it's my first attempt. Yes,171601:39:02.720 --> 01:39:04.039



you never see amaze.171701:39:05.960 --> 01:39:13.279



This is the oldest track of all speed far track five,171801:39:13.840 --> 01:39:15.439



the Final Frontier.171901:39:15.840 --> 01:39:18.560



This is got amazing. I nothing amazing about it.172001:39:18.800 --> 01:39:21.359



I know this ship like the back of my hand.172101:39:29.840 --> 01:39:59.920



All right, mm hm of course, of course, of course.172201:40:01.000 --> 01:40:03.720



And Jim, you know, since it's your you know this movie,172301:40:04.159 --> 01:40:10.119



uh introduces the concept of the Great Barrier, right, Like,172401:40:10.239 --> 01:40:13.239



we hadn't really heard about the Great Barrier before this movie.172501:40:13.800 --> 01:40:17.079



And so since this is your favorite Star Trek movie,172601:40:17.119 --> 01:40:20.560



I felt it was only fair to have one trivia172701:40:20.680 --> 01:40:25.520



question loaded and ready for you that you know doesn't172801:40:25.520 --> 01:40:28.000



have anything to do with sideboch or anything like that.172901:40:28.319 --> 01:40:33.159



But Jim, do you know what the difference between the173001:40:33.279 --> 01:40:37.640



galactic barrier and the Great Barrier are in Star Trek?173101:40:42.359 --> 01:40:42.479



Uh?173201:40:42.479 --> 01:40:56.319



Oh you are just switch them and you've totally got173301:40:56.399 --> 01:40:58.439



it right. The Galactic barrier is the one that wraps173401:40:58.479 --> 01:41:00.479



around the edge. The Great Barrier here is the one173501:41:00.520 --> 01:41:02.720



that's at the center of the galaxy.173601:41:03.159 --> 01:41:03.359



Yeah.173701:41:03.640 --> 01:41:04.640



Yeah, so there you go.173801:41:05.000 --> 01:41:07.119



We we're m hm.173901:41:10.359 --> 01:41:47.680



Mm hmmm, we do and here it goes. It sounds174001:41:47.720 --> 01:41:48.840



like Galicia quest.174101:41:59.439 --> 01:42:03.159



Chaders say, is what? That's right? William Shantner says that174201:42:03.279 --> 01:42:07.119



he is taking care of business at ninety five. The174301:42:07.279 --> 01:42:13.159



least of all I want to do is die. That's right. Well,174401:42:14.359 --> 01:42:17.079



I mean I feel like that's isn't that true for174501:42:17.159 --> 01:42:20.279



all of us? But yes, William Shantner has no plans174601:42:20.319 --> 01:42:23.159



to slow down as he's getting older. The ninety five174701:42:23.239 --> 01:42:25.199



year old actor spoke about how he is able to174801:42:25.279 --> 01:42:28.199



keep going when so many others his age have already174901:42:28.319 --> 01:42:31.600



slowed down decades ago. He said, that's why they're old.175001:42:32.199 --> 01:42:35.760



Shatner's law is speed up, do more things and forget175101:42:35.800 --> 01:42:38.960



the pain. Take a pill. If it hurts. You get older,175201:42:39.079 --> 01:42:41.960



you hurt more. Two things. One is a weightlifter who175301:42:42.000 --> 01:42:45.319



told me when I lift three four hundred pounds, it hurts.175401:42:45.560 --> 01:42:48.319



I've learned, he said, to make the hurt my friend.175501:42:49.039 --> 01:42:53.399



Welcome friend, the pain is here. Welcome. Shatner, who is175601:42:53.439 --> 01:42:57.239



preparing for his upcoming live stage show, The Universe Is Absurd,175701:42:57.600 --> 01:43:00.880



went on to say that his advice old people would175801:43:00.880 --> 01:43:05.760



be to befriend and embrace the pain. The Star Trek175901:43:05.880 --> 01:43:08.680



actor then added that his second tip for those who176001:43:08.720 --> 01:43:11.520



are aging is to never stop moving, explaining that if176101:43:11.560 --> 01:43:14.119



you stop moving, all you've got is the hurt. Ugh176201:43:14.319 --> 01:43:17.680



Amen Brother. He explained that one of his passions is176301:43:17.760 --> 01:43:21.720



riding horses and competing in an equestrian event called raining,176401:43:21.840 --> 01:43:25.239



at which he described as very physical. He said, the176501:43:25.319 --> 01:43:28.039



older you get, the difficulty is really getting on the horse.176601:43:28.479 --> 01:43:30.279



You have a mounting block and you try to lift176701:43:30.319 --> 01:43:32.439



your leg up over it. He said, if I would176801:43:32.479 --> 01:43:35.279



have stopped that half my life would disappear. So I176901:43:35.359 --> 01:43:39.399



don't stop. I just go slower. Even after suffering an177001:43:39.439 --> 01:43:41.520



injury to his shoulder during a fall off his horse,177101:43:41.880 --> 01:43:45.319



Shatner continues to ride and will be hosting the annual177201:43:45.439 --> 01:43:49.239



William Shatner's Hollywood Charity Horse Show later this month. His177301:43:49.399 --> 01:43:53.000



busy schedule also includes his upcoming live show, The Universe's177401:43:53.479 --> 01:43:57.239



The Universe Is Absurd, which is a live, unscripted stage177501:43:57.239 --> 01:44:01.479



show with astrophysicist Neil Degrass Tyson that will explore cosmic177601:44:01.560 --> 01:44:06.600



themes through banter and storytelling that sounds lovely. The show177701:44:06.680 --> 01:44:09.760



is scheduled for May nineteenth and twentieth at this Saban177801:44:09.920 --> 01:44:14.199



Theater in Beverly Hills. Tyson and Shattner first connected when177901:44:14.239 --> 01:44:17.520



recording an audiobook, which eventually led to twenty hours of178001:44:17.600 --> 01:44:20.840



conversation between the two of them. Shatner said, I had178101:44:20.880 --> 01:44:22.840



to spend two days, ten hours a day talking to178201:44:22.960 --> 01:44:25.640



a wonderful man who has become a good friend of mine. Now,178301:44:25.720 --> 01:44:28.720



he said, those twenty hours have given us a foothold178401:44:28.840 --> 01:44:32.239



into conversation, and that's what we'll have on stage. But178501:44:32.399 --> 01:44:34.720



in order for it to have energy, I'll have to178601:44:34.840 --> 01:44:39.479



disagree with him on many points, if not all. I178701:44:39.640 --> 01:44:43.680



love that the universe is this way, I disagree. The178801:44:43.800 --> 01:44:46.479



worst thing that can happen to the show in Shantner's178901:44:46.520 --> 01:44:49.800



opinion is that the audience walks out, we walk on,179001:44:50.159 --> 01:44:51.960



and they give up and leave. In terms of what's179101:44:52.039 --> 01:44:54.520



next for him, the Boston legal star explained that he179201:44:54.600 --> 01:44:57.439



doesn't have a bucket list, but wants to continue doing179301:44:57.520 --> 01:45:00.399



the things he treasure treasures, such as spending time with179401:45:00.520 --> 01:45:04.000



his dogs, riding horses with his wife, and visiting his179501:45:04.199 --> 01:45:07.960



favorite coffee shops. He said, I'm busy, and I'm vital,179601:45:08.199 --> 01:45:10.319



and I'm riding horses, and I'm taking care of business.179701:45:10.640 --> 01:45:12.359



And i just sold a horse. He said, I did179801:45:12.439 --> 01:45:15.520



a job on Friday and Saturday. I'm busy doing concrete,179901:45:15.800 --> 01:45:18.720



valuable things. I don't want to go anywhere. The least180001:45:18.760 --> 01:45:23.479

roles throughout the thing just by switching out a silly188701:51:09.199 --> 01:51:11.159
