Robert Picardo who you may know from his role as The Doctor in the
Star Trek: Voyager television series, says he is interested in appearing in director J.J Abrams' next
Trek film. Here's what he had to say:
Well, it’s always possible that they’ll use one of us. I’ve met JJ, he was very kind and complimentary to me, and I know he watched the show because he’s a fan of Star Trek. Nothing is impossible. He then added;
What’s wonderful about Star Trek having been rebooted so successfully by the JJ Abrams movie franchise, is that the corollary effect is that it creates a new generation of fans, and they’re interested in all of it. They don’t just sit around and wait for the next movie to come out, they’ll go back and re-examine episodes. And he then went on about how he grew up with
Trek:
I remember when the first movie came out, my daughter’s friends who were all about 17, they’d never paid any attention to the show when it was on the air, they started to go back and watch Voyager and enjoy it, simply because they liked the movie. It helps the brand name and I think it’s a good time for a new generation of fans. Star Trek 2 arrives in theaters May 17, 2013.
