Stroking the Global Audience


When did it finally sink in how big the audience for Voyager was, getting stopped in the street, etc.

Picture Yeah, I get stopped in the street sometimes, and that�s never been something that I personally have wanted. I tend to be more uncomfortable if I get recognised, than some � some actors really love that attention and stroking and, �Oh, you saw me, you like me, that great,�� I never really liked that.

I think the first time I recognised how big Star Trek really is, is when I went out of the country. You know, when you�re here, you see the American press or you see the fans at conventions here, and you expect that because it�s on TV here. But when you go to some place like Germany, to a convention, that there�s five or six thousand people, in the building, and you realise that this show reaches not just America but the whole world. Or you go to Australia or you go to England or you go to any of these places � it's amazing how big the audience is.
