Quite a responsibility


Do you think about the legacy of Star Trek that you're contributing to?

Picture I guess so. As an actor, you can�t think about that thing when you�re acting or doing it, you just have to try to tell the best story you can and be as honest as you can, and entertain people the best way that you can. What people do with it after that is not in my control, really. If they want to dissect the episodes and if they want to watch them a hundred times and everything, I that�s great; but you can�t think about all that when you�re doing it.

I suppose it�s amazing, when people have come to visit our set, they come in with these huge expectations of all these experiences they�ve had over thirty years of watching Star Trek, and they see the space ship and they�re like, �Oh, my God, it�s so real, I can�t believe I�m here,� and, for me it�s like, �Yeah, it�s work, this is where I come to work, .� You get a little jaded to it, I guess.
