Bakula told us that his recent meeting with all the captains from all the different incarnations of the series was incredible. “It was very cool. I hadn’t met Kate (Mulgrew who played Captain Kathryn Janeway on “Star Trek: Voyager”) except to wave and say hi and chat a little bit. I’ve gotten to know Bill (Shatner, Captain James T. Kirk in “Star Trek”) and Patrick (Stewart, Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation”) over the years, but it was a blast. It was surreal.” Sirtis talked about the impact that “Star Trek” had on society. “It’s like the franchise that will not die,” she laughed. “We’ve tried to kill it on various occasions. One of the movies I’m thinking of, particularly. But it just goes on and on. I just think, when you hit on a winning formula, that’s what it is. I have people telling me that they became a psychologist or a counselor because of me. I’m just an actress! I show up with my lines learned. I show up and hit my mark and try not to bump into the furniture. It’s an honor.”
The untitled Star Trek sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on May 17, 2013. (Photo Credit: Nikki Nelson / WENN.com) Show Comments |
