Shoot yourself up


You've done quite a lot of voice work for Trek games. Do you play them at all?

Picture There's a Star Trek Voyager coin operated game where you sit in a little booth and I played that. I found it in this one arcade and I probably put in about twenty dollars worth of quarters in there just to get to the end.

You're fighting Borg [and] there's Hirogen, [and] there's some other creatures that you're fighting. The other characters that are helping you fight are Tuvok, and my character and maybe you see the Doctor. If you shoot one of the Star Fleet characters you die, and I shot myself, that was pretty funny.

As far as the computer games that I've done some voices over for go, I haven't played those yet. That was fun to work on, to be able to contribute to games, because as a younger person I played a lot of games when I was younger.

I remember specifically that we had to do voice overs for when you do shoot the Star Fleet characters. You've got to say, "Ouch," [or], "Hey, hey, I'm on your side, what are you doing?" You've got to say all these little funny things like, "Okay, that's it," and at that point if you shoot me too many times then I turn around and shoot you.
