What would you say Kim's shining hour was?
What is Kim's shining hour? Probably that would have to be the episode Timeless, which has Kim and Chakotay the only survivors [of a crash], and Kim fifteen years later saving the day.
I think that's worth a promotion, bringing everyone else back to life again, even if Kim was somewhat indirectly responsible for their deaths, but that was probably the shining moment for Ensign Kim.
Was it fun to play yourself fifteen years older?
It gave me a chance to really stretch my acting skills, because truly if the episode doesn't revolve around your character it's just exposition. I mean anybody can say, "Shields down to thirty percent Captain. They're hailing, Captain."
These are very basic lines, and an episode like Timeless really gave me a chance to show the bitter and frustrated Ensign Kim and the young full-of -ope Ensign Kim, which is a great dichotomy.
