Being an actor opened doors for me to explore my emotions as different people and characters, and expand my own inner soul.

It's always great to be involved in something that's not in an in-your-face fashion, but has a message that goes out guised as entertainment.

I was a huge fan of the original 'Star Trek,' and I'd never even dreamed that I would someday be captain of a starship.

I havent really thought about where to scatter my ashes when the time comes, but I doubt that it would be in space.
growing-up sunday night
Sunday night was such a big night for television when I was growing up - you know, The Wonderful World of Disney.
hurt creativity thinking
I don't think that a company should own a studio and the network, and program for their own network. It hurts the creativity - it is not a level playing field
