The Life & Legacy of Leonard NimoyIn honor of the late Leonard Nimoy, Star Trek historian and Nimoy archivist Bonnie Moss visits Trek Untold to tell us about the man behind the pointy ears. We get the inside story of Nimoy's life beyond Star Trek, discussing his passion for photography and the arts, reading some of Nimoy's poetry (and how that reflected his worldview), his opinion on The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, the feud between Nimoy and Shatner, what Nimoy thought of the longevity of Star Trek and Trekkies, and what his final days were like.
Bonnie is a lifelong Trekkie, and also tells us about the evolution of the fandom from its beginnings to where it is now in the internet age, why Star Trek was so important to her as a child, how a particular episode of the original series influenced her choice of profession, what happened to the original fandom when Star Trek was canceled after its third season, and more!

Kay Bess: Voices Across Space and TimeKay Bess has been working in the voiceover industry for many decades and has crossed paths with the Star Trek universe in a very special way as the voice of La Sirena's computer on “Star Trek: Picard.” A Trekkie who fell in love with the franchise later in life, Kay tells stories about her unique audition, recording her lines during a global pandemic, and how she got a grip on the infamous technobabble she had to say in every episode.
Besides being La Sirena, you've also heard Kay in video games and animation, including The Last of Us II, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Agents of MAYHEM, Skylanders: Super Chargers, State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, Final Fantasy XV, Fallout 76, The Loud House, Spirit Riding Free, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.

******William Sadler Never Misses A Beat******William Sadler is known to Star Trek fans for his time on Deep Space Nine as Luther Sloan, a member of a mysterious group within Starfleet called Section 31. Through three episodes, Sloan introduced viewers to this clandestine organization that left a huge mark on the franchise. But, the actor who played this character is just as impactful. Sadler talks to us about growing up in Upstate New York and becoming an actor, what he learned at Cornell University, playing Julius Caesar in The Bard's famous play on Broadway alongside Denzel Washington, and breaking down how to keep the works of Shakespeare fresh as an actor. From there, we deep dive into Sloan and Section 31, memories from playing the part, and what made this Machiavellian character so important to DS9 and Star Trek as a whole. We also discuss some of his other notable works, like his time as Heywood in “The Shawshank Redemption,” Colonel Stuart in “Die Hard 2” and his infamous nude scene, and playing the Grim Reaper in “Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.”

*****The “Star Trek” Comic Art of JK Woodward***** The Star Trek toys from the 90s started as one of the hottest toy lines for kids and collectors but ultimately crashed and burned in the clearance aisle. What happened to these figures that changed the collecting game for adults to turn them into fodder that cost less today than they did 30 years ago?
Scott Holznagel and James Patrik join us in this week's Trek Untold to talk Trek toys from Playmates and to demystify the secrets of this long-running toy series, including examining old Toy Fair catalogs and magazine ads, looking at unproduced toys like the Latinum and Chromium series and other figures that were shown but never released, the mystery of Naked Data from First Contact, what led to the rise and fall of this line, and why they aren't collecting the modern Trek toys.

*****The “Star Trek” Comic Art of JK Woodward***** JK Woodward has been drawing and painting “Star Trek” comics for years, working on many different series. Most recently, he's done covers and interiors for IDW's Star Trek TNG Mirrorverse saga, one of the most epic and ambitious Mirror Universe stories ever told in Trek!
Woodward talks about the evolution of his art style, using Star Trek as an example of the changes, how he broke into comics, and what his artistic process today is like, including a live demo of a Star Trek DS9 commission and one of his most used techniques to paint backgrounds in Star Trek comics. We also spend much time on the Mirrorverse Saga, like the secret inspiration for Mirror Picard, working with Scott & David Tipton, and the amazing Star Trek comic idea he wants to make!

*****Sandra Gimpel: Stunt Woman to the Stars*******You won't recognize Sandra Gimpel's face from the original “Star Trek” because it was covered by loads of prosthetics! She was The Salt Vampire from the season one episode of TOS “The Man Trap,” but she also was a Talosian in the original pilot with Jeffrey Hunter, “The Cage.” When Ms. Gimpel started in Hollywood, she had no idea what a “stunt” even was, but she eventually became one of the top stunt performers in the industry and remains active to this day.
Sandra tells us about her origins in Hollywood by becoming one of Elvis Presley's main dancers featured in many of his movies, how she ended up as Bill Mumy's stunt double in “Lost in Space” and how that led to her time on “Star Trek,” working with Jeffrey Hunter, William Shatner, and Gene Roddenberry and the secrets to her makeup, and more from her time on Trek.
Plus, stories about doubling Debbie Reynolds from 1961 through the rest of her life, doubling for Betty White and Cloris Leachman, getting tossed off a stage by Sacha Baron Cohen at the BAFTA Awards, tales from “Battlestar Galactica,” “Airplane!” and other shows and films from her career, and the scariest stunts gone wrong, including an episode of “Bring 'em Back Alive” and a cereal commercial that went from funny to deadly in the blink of an eye.

*****Jeff Yagher Sculpts His Own Destiny*******Jeff Yagher had a memorable role as Iden, leader of a rogue group of Holograms from the seventh season “Star Trek: Voyager” two-parter, “Flesh and Blood,” but these days, it's his hands that do the performing.
After a successful acting career, Yagher transitioned into an even more successful sculptor, creating amazing work sold by places like Sideshow Collectibles, among others. It's been a long road, but his work—whether on-screen or with a lump of clay—speaks for itself.
Jeff discusses his epic debut role as Kyle Bates in “V,” working with Angela Lansbury multiple times on “Murder, She Wrote,” getting beat up at Medieval Times while dressed as a knight by Chuck Norris on “Walker, Texas Ranger,” stories about Pat Morita, and more!
Plus, plenty of Trek Talk, including the role he auditioned for in TNG, tips from Trek alumni Spencer Garrett and his wife Meghan Gallagher, working with Robert Picardo on VOY as well as illustrating his Trek book, and more behind-the-scenes stories!
Then, we take a tour around his art studio and hear about his brother and renowned makeup artist Kevin Yagher and the story of how Jeff transitioned from acting into sculpting some of the coolest statues of horror and sci-fi icons and being one of the best at it.

****Kavi Raz is Engineering A Future for South Asian Filmmakers****Kavi Raz only appeared once in Star Trek history, but his story beyond this sci-fi franchise is what makes him truly fascinating.
Kavi appeared as Lt. Jg. Singh in the Star Trek TNG episode “Lonely Among Us,” but his humble beginnings make his trip to the stars even more exciting. We learn about the journey that took him from Punjab, India, to England and Hollywood, being an engineer in real life before he played one on a starship, learning acting from Hedy Sontag, forming The Wandering Players theater troupe to bring authentic Indian theatre to L.A., and more about his past.
From there, it's onto our Trek talk, including a reveal of which leading role he initially auditioned for (and almost got), working on Stephen King's “Pet Cemetery” film with Denise Crosby, and what it was like walking through a Starship. Kavi also talks to us about his time on “General Hospital” and “M.A.S.H.”
Plus, why he started directing and formed his own production company, and the latest project he is working on – a streaming platform focused on Indian shows and films.
Check out “The Barefoot Warriors” and “The Gold Bracelet,” among other great films and shows made by South Asian creators, at Cpics.tv.

*****Making the Sounds of Star Trek with Alan Howarth*******Alan Howarth calls himself a “sonic composer,” a cool but very accurate title for the contributions he's made to cinema. Howarth is responsible for the sound design for many of the visual effects and hardware heard in the Star Trek movies, as well as composing films across all of Hollywood.
Alan takes us on his journey from rock and roller in high school into “The Weather Report” by the late 70s, and finally doing his first music composition for “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” as well as the drama behind getting the movie done in time for release.
Howarth peels back the curtain to reveal the secrets behind the sounds for the warp engine of the Enterprise, using organic sounds to make technical sounds, the tools he implemented to create these unique effects, and the sound effect he is best known for that he refuses to use ever again! We also hear stories about the different Trek directors, including Leonard Nimoy and the bizarre demands of William Shatner and how involved they were in his process, the tragic story behind making the sound of the whales in Star Trek 4, the sound of V'ger in TMP, and for the first time, tales of Wesley H. Bateman and encounters with UFOs!
Plus, stories from his other films, like “The Hunt for Red October,” Steven Spielberg's cryptic demands for “Poltergeist,” “Robocop 2,” working with John Carpenter on films like “Escape from New York,” and the Halloween series, “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark,” and more!

***Deborah Levin is Having the Time of her Life***Deborah Levin appeared three times on “Star Trek: Voyager” as Ensign Lang in the episodes “Blood Fever,” Displaced,” and “Year of Hell,” but her career has some other fun Star Trek connections throughout it.
Deborah explains how she found her way into acting and Hollywood, her longtime friendship with Harlan Ellison, a heartwarming story about her hilarious time on “Married with Children,” becoming a bad guy in “How To Get Away with Murder,” working with William Shatner on his sitcom “S**t My Dad Says,” and a whole lot of nerdy chat about classic movies with Jimmy Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Fredric March, and other actors from the Golden Age of Cinema. Plus, what it was like being the only ensign on a Starfleet bridge defending it from attackers, working with Robert Beltran, more stories from VOY, and if there were more plans for Ensign Lang after these three episodes.
NOTE: This interview was conducted before the SAG-AFTRA Strike of 2023. No performers were interviewed during the strike unless they were discussing the strike itself.

***Brad Zerbst Zooms In and Beams Up***Brad Zerbst had one of those “blink and miss him” roles in Star Trek TNG, appearing as a medical officer in three episodes from season one: “Justice,” “Heart of Glory,” and “Skin of Evil.” But Starfleet wasn't all it was cracked up to be for Brad, and he shifted his focus to something else – literally, by becoming an award-winning and highly sought-after camera operator.
Brad explains how his first gig in Hollywood brought him back to his hometown, his appearances on “Murder, She Wrote,” what the TNG uniforms from the first season felt like, working with Gates McFadden in Sick Bay on the Enterprise, and if he heard rumors about Denise and Gates wanting to exit the series.
Plus, we learn about his work as an Emmy Award-winning camera operator, including how Michael Landon helped him early in his off-camera career, stories behind the scenes with Mel Brooks on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” working with Jerry O'Connell on “The Talk,” the wild times working with Richard Simmons on “Dream Maker,” hilarious tales from “Whose Line Is It Anyway,” and what's really up with Ellen Degeneres, and whether or not she's as horrible as the tabloids say she is.

********Alan Altshuld, From Advertising to Aliens********Alan Altshuld has not done many interviews before, and even fewer about his time on Star Trek, where he performed four times in two different series. This veteran has spent considerable time in the theater and in TV commercials, along with his work on shows and movies, which I'm excited to share with you now.
Alan told us about how he got discovered by Jeri Taylor to make his first Star Trek appearance in TNG, the deceptively complicated makeup job for that “Starship Mine” role, getting physical with Jonathan Frakes, and eating weird sci-fi food on “The Gambit.” After TNG, we learn about his pair of “Star Trek: Voyager” credits, including crawling on his hands and knees to please his Ferengi overlords in “False Profits” and performing as a strange Catati alien in “Day of Honor” with serious makeup constraints that caused him to alter his methods. Plus, find out which major Trek role Alan was under serious consideration for!
Beyond Star Trek, learn about Alan's connection to Walter Koenig through the theater world, the unique curriculum he learned early on about the practical side of being an actor along with the horrors of the infamous “NY Audition” class, some of his notable commercial roles including being a part of the Vegetarian society in a famous Little Caesar's pizza ad, his time on Baywatch being tied up with Pamela Anderson, and working with Tom Hanks in “The Money Pit” driving a Volkswagen Beetle that no one could see out of!

*********Laura Banks Navigates “The Wrath of Khan”***********Laura Banks is familiar to Trekkies from her role in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” as Khan's navigator aboard the USS Reliant. One of her earliest acting roles, Laura went from a model to a performer, starring in Roger Corman B-movies and eventually pivoting into writing.
Laura takes us on a trip through her origins in Hollywood to her time in Star Trek, working with Ricardo Montalban and Nicholas Meyer, becoming an Augment who spent time on Ceti Alpha V in The Botany Bay, and later a Federation Starship, and more from her unique work in that film. But, of course, Laura has other Trek connections too, like being an improv troupe with Whoopi Goldberg and eventually spending time with William Shatner (and DS9's James Darren) in “TJ Hooker,”…. as well as some off-screen stories you have to hear!
Plus, working with Roger Corman on “Wheels of Fire,” writing comedy and best-selling books, and her new autobiography “The Wrath of Blonde”!

*******Bruce Horak's Journey Through Strange New Worlds*******Bruce Horak played Hemmer for the first season of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” on Paramount Plus. This Aenar (a member of the Andorians) was chief engineer aboard the Enterprise, serving under Captain Pike, and was a mentor to Uhura through his distinguished service on that vessel. On this episode of Trek Untold, we meet the renaissance man underneath all that makeup, Bruce Horak.
Bruce made history as the first visually impaired actor to appear in a Star Trek series and brought a unique perspective to his character. Beyond Star Trek, Bruce has an inspiring life story that he uses his art to tell, from the cancer that led to his blindness to the way he interprets the world around him due to his impairment. He is a profound stage performer, expressive painter, and one heck of a Starfleet crewman!
We discuss some of Bruce's work on stage as well as how he grew up, the way he paints, and plenty of tales from the set of SNW, including working with Anson Mount, Celia Rose Gooding, and the entire cast from that spectacular show, and a ton more in this extensive and in-depth interview with one of the most beloved characters from that debut season.

*******J. Paul Boehmer takes a trip Around “Carbon Creek” and Inside the Borg Cube*******J. Paul Boehmer has six Star Trek TV credits to his name, two in the video game world, and a long list of other credits in Theater, TV, and film.
You may remember J. Paul as a Nazi officer in the two-part “Star Trek: Voyager” episode “The Killing Game” and another one in the Enterprise episode “Storm Front,” the Borg named One from “the VOY episode “Drone,” the Cardassian officer named Vornar from DS9 “Tacking Into The Wind,” and the Vulcan who found a new home named Mestral from the classic ENT episode “Carbon Creek.” He also did voices in the Bridge Commander game and played Gowron's brother in “Klingon Academy” on PC.
In this honest, informative, and emotional interview, J. Paul told us stories from his theater days and how one show led to his first Star Trek role as the Nazi from VOY, playing another Nazi years later in Enterprise while performing with Scott Bakula (and why one Naiz had a German accent and the other didn't).
J. Paul also fondly recalled the heartwarming story about his Vulcan ears from ENT, the intense makeup to play this brand new style of Borg in “Drone” and the hardships of wearing that much prosthetics and neoprene, how playing a Borg helped him become a better Vulcan, meeting Christopher Plummer while working on the game, and much more! We also have some Star Trek adjacent talks about being in “The Orville” with three other heavily made-up aliens and working with Seth McFarlane and Adrianne Palicki,
Plus, performing a play that literally combined “Hamlet” with “Death of A Salesman” called “Haplet,” acting side by side with Kelsey Grammer in “Frasier,” “The Thomas Crowne Affair,” and more!

Daniel Davis Talks Moriarty's Return in “Star Trek: Picard”
One of the best things about Picard S3 has been the fan service from TNG, DS9, and VOY; one epic piece of the past just returned in a shocking way! In an episode filled with easter eggs, “The Bounty” brought Riker, Worf, and Raffi inside the Daystrom Institute in search of a secret, one that this week's guest guarded.
Daniel Davis just made his comeback to the Star Trek Universe, reprising his role as Moriarty, who appeared twice in Star Trek TNG, “Elementary, Dear Data” and “Ship in a Bottle.” Davis chatted with me about how he was brought into the show, what's different about this version of Moriarty, the changes of being on a Star Trek set since his last time on the show, working with Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Michael Dorn, and Michelle Hurd, and much more, including a story about his previous appearances, and his time on “The Nanny” with Fran Drescher. Engage!

****Writing “Star Trek” with Lisa Klink, Part 2****Lisa Klink wrote 15 episodes of Star Trek shows on DS9 and VOY and was the executive story editor for “Star Trek: Voyager” along with some other Trek projects. Across the entirety of this two-part interview, Lisa will break down all of her Star Trek scripts and demystify how to write for a television show.
This week, we are breaking down the second half of Lisa's VOY credits, including “Favorite Son” and how that script went through significant changes over time, along with what she wished the crew could have done with Harry Kim's character, “Displaced,” “Revulsion,” “Scientific Method,” “Message in a Bottle,” the controversial “Retrospect,” and “Omega Directive.”

****Bertila Damas Voyage Through Acting****Bertila Damas is a two-time Star Trek veteran with some tremendous roles on stage and screen under her belt.
Bertila played the Vulcan Sakonna in the two-part DS9 episode “The Maquis” and returned to Trek for a role in the tragic Voyager episode “Survival Instinct” as Three of Nine while a Borg and Marika as a Bajoran.
We learn all about her time on Star Trek, including the arduous makeup routine as a Borg, working with Armin Shimerman, Avery Brooks, Marc Alaimo, and Tony Pilana on DS9, and some great stories about Jeri Ryan on VOY. “Survival Instinct” is one of my favorite VOY episodes, and if you like it even a fraction as much as I do, you will love Bertila's stories about this one!
Plus, Bertila's training with Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, and some amazing lessons she learned with her fine education in performing, including doing a stage adaptation of Eugene O'Neill's “A Touch of the Poet” with Robert Beltran, working on The Golden Girls spin-off “The Golden Palace” with Cheech Marin, and working on what is considered by many to be the worst film ever, “Nothing But Trouble,” with Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd.

***The Ethics of Jean-Luc Picard***Jean-Luc Picard is known for his diplomacy and ability to masterfully handle tough decisions, but were all his choices the most ethical ones he could make? In this roundtable discussion honoring the release of Picard's third and final season on Paramount+, Matthew from Trek Untold asks the hard questions to Ashlynn and Rhianna from The Duras Sisters Podcast, Davey from The Treksperts Quiz, and Hawk from Strange New Pod about some challenging episodes.

**Roderick Garr: Sitcoms to Spike Lee to Star Trek**Roderick Garr played Regana Tosh on the fourth season DS9 episode “Hippocratic Oath,” but his career goes far beyond his time on that space station.
Growing up in Buffalo, NY, Roderick tells us about his encounter as a child with Sammy Davis Jr. that changed the course of his life, what he learned during his time at Howard University and from his first professional tv role, the greatest lesson he learned from the great Richard Gant, working with the Mowry family on “Sister, Sister” and “Smart Guy,” Queen Latifah on “Living Single,” working on sets with Spike Lee, and more!

**Alec Newman, From Scotland to Star Trek**Alec Newman has gone from Scotland to Star Trek, along with some other sci-fi names on his wonderful resume, and he stopped by Trek Untold to tell us all about it! Alec played Malik on three episodes of “Star Trek: Enterprise,” referred to as The Augment trilogy. He was the #1 son of Soong and had some great memories of his time performing on that set.
We learn about Alec growing up in Glasgow, Scotland, with his famous musician father, Sandy Newman from “Marmalade,” what he remembered and learned from his first on-screen role in “Taggart,” how he found his way from the UK to Hollywood, working on the “Dune” mini-series as Paul Etraides and his unique approach and method behind how he performed that character, along with how the epic fight between him and Matt Keesler was put together, and likewise what Alec did differently from his predecessors when performing as Dr. Victor Von Frankenstein in the Emmy award-winning “Frankenstein” movie alongside William Hurt and Donald Sutherland.
Then it's time for Trek Talk, and Alec explained how he got cast as this augment, wearing the wig and tight spandex, working with Brent Spiner, his fight scenes with Scott Bakula, being directed by Levar Burton, “The Wrath of Khan” homage in the episodes, and more from his time on Enterprise. This was a fantastic chat with an absolutely fantastic performer you will love hearing from!
NOTE: Apologies for anyone watching the video version, a few times in the interview, the Zoom connection got weird, so some parts are wildly out of sync, but 99% of the interview is fine.

***Talking Star Trek Toys with Jonathan Alexandratos & EXO'6's Schubert Tam**Star Trek toys are a big personal part of my love of *Star Trek, so I am honoring them by doing a tribute episode to the toys of yesterday, today, and tomorrow with the help of two guests!
First up, we are joined by Jonathan Alexandratos, who discussed the early Trek toys, focusing on the Star Trek TNG toys made by Galoob and the expansive line produced by Playmates during the heyday of the Berman era. We explain how these went from kids' playthings to adult collectibles and what ultimately went wrong that led to the end of this line and Trek toys for some time.
After that, we talk with Schubert Tam, the founder of EXO-6, a new company that produces 12-inch highly realistic, museum-grade figures. Schubert tells us about how he started his company, the unique way his company manufactures its product and meets tight deadlines, creating a niche business during the pandemic, and offers some world reveals for what is coming soon from his company.

***Karole Selmon's “Code of Honor” in Life and Acting**The first season of *Star Trek TNG episode “Code of Honor” is an infamous one within the fandom, reviled by fans and the actors in it alike. Karole Selmon played Yareena in that episode and, for the first time, shared her thoughts on it and the reputation it holds.
Karole gives us the whole story, starting from her audition, tension on the set with some crew, the kindness of Patrick Stewart, memories of Gene Roddenberry, working with Jessie Ferguson and Julian Christopher, her fight scene with Denise Crosby with an accident on set that few know about, and her perspective on why this isn't the worst Star Trek episode of all time, including a few reasons most people rarely think about when discussing this one. She also has another surprising Star Trek experience that very few know about that she shared with Trek Untold.
Karole tells us about her experiences performing on stage around the US and the globe, including a communist country, the trauma in her life that led her to the stage, what she learned from her first movie role in “Mother, Jugs, and Speed,” and working with Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby and James Earl Jones in “A Piece of the Action.” Plus, sprinting on “Hill Street Blues,” being in “Roots” with Ben Vereen, being buried alive in “JJ Starbuck,” and more.

**The Facts about Phlox with John Billingsley*Trek Untold* kicks off the new year with a trip to sickbay, as we are hanging out with John Billingsley. This actor portrayed Dr. Phlox** on all four seasons of “Star Trek: Enterprise” and has a lot to say about being the first Denobulan to serve on a Starfleet vessel.
John tells us about his Phlox audition story and what he initially thought this new alien species was supposed to be like, how he created the character, a ton of acting theory and performing techniques, including his utilization of the Meisner method and what he wished was different about performing in Star Trek. We also have some discussion about “Similitude,” “Doctor's Orders” AKA the one with Naked Phlox, “Anomaly,” the real-life 9/11 politics that became part of Enterprise and the Xindi story arc, Dorothy Duder's food, and more Trek tales.
Plus, John answers your questions! I sent out the notice on social media, and you did not disappoint with your queries. We covered Stargate SG-1, The Orville, “Cold Case,” “Out of Time” with Denzel Washington, why he thinks Enterprise only lasted four seasons, and much more!
Most importantly, John is here to promote the upcoming Trek Talks 2 Telethon to support the Hollywood Food Coalition. Check out hofoco.org and trektalks.net for more info about the Trek Talks 2 Telethon and how you can support this great cause!

*I am Tosk!” Scott MacDonald's Star Trek Career, Part 1*Scott MacDonald returns with more stories from his Star Trek career. Last time, we discussed his first role in the franchise and ever on TV as Tosk in the first season Star Trek DS9 episode “Captive Pursuit,” the Romulan named N'Vek in the sixth season TNG episode “Face of the Enemy,” and Gowron's brother in the “Star Trek: Klingon” PC game.
This time, we learn about his time as Rollins on the pilot episode of “Star Trek: Voyager,” who was supposed to have a more prominent role in the series. Scott was there with the original Captain Janeway, Geneviève Bujold, and explains what went wrong with her on set and how things immediately changed when Kate Mulgrew stepped in to take over.
After that, we learn about his crazy audition story of he got the Goran'Agar role in the DS9 episode “Hippocratic Oath,” working with Alexander Siddig and Colm Meaney while being directed by Rene Auberjonois covered in Jem'Hadar makeup and a wonderful tale about an act of kindness from the entire DS9 crew.
Finally, it's all about the evil Xindi Commander Dolim from many episodes in season 3 of “Star Trek: Enterprise,” including his makeup, working with Randy Oglesby, who Scott worked with previously in an award-winning play, having a fist fight with Scott Bakula in the season three finale, and how he ate the mouse! Enterprise fans – you know the scene!
Plus, all about the modern horror Christmas classic “Jack Frost,” his time on “Carnevale,” a great tale about David Warner, and Scott takes a look at his Star Trek action figures!

*I am Tosk!” Scott MacDonald's Star Trek Career, Part 1*Scott MacDonald has had some of the most substantial guest star roles throughout Star Trek, all while playing aliens covered from head to toe in makeup and prosthetics. Even more peculiar, Scott's first two Star Trek roles practically aired back to back when they first ran on television, an extremely rare thing to happen even today!
We discuss his first role in Trek (and on TV) as Tosk in the first season Star Trek DS9 episode “Captive Pursuit,” and he followed that up by playing a Romulan named N'Vek in the sixth season TNG episode “Face of the Enemy.” After that, he played Gowron's brother in the “Star Trek: Klingon” PC game, directed by Jonathan Frakes and working alongside Robert O'Reilly!
Scott gives us some of the most in-depth behind-the-scenes Star Trek stories ever to tell us about the horrors of his makeup routine as Tosk, including contacts that caused searing pain to his eyes, the special things he asked of the writers as that character, gearing up to be a Romulan while still wearing his Tosk makeup, why N'Vek was supposed to be a recurring character in TNG and what stopped that from happening, performing with Colm Meaney, Marina Sirtis, Carolyn Seymour, and the mayhem of working on the Klingon PC game.
Plus, the ties between Star Trek and Shakespeare, the incredibly long and arduous audition process to land the Tosk role, a surreal encounter with Patrick Stewart, and another even more odd moment with Richard Gere, the six-hour epic play “The Kentucky Cycle,” the way he understands his alien characters inside and out, stories from “Three Ninjas Knuckle Up,” a hilarious story from Charles Napier about William Shatner, and much more.
Come back next week for part two to learn about his time on the pilot of Voyager, his second DS9 appearance in “Hippocratic Oath” as the Jem'hadar named Goran'Agar, and his final role in multiple episodes from Enterprise as the evil Xindi Commander Dolim.
