Plus, memories of Leslie Nielsen in "The Naked Gun 2 ½", "Howard the Duck," "Pink Cadillac" with Clint Eastwood and Jim Carrey, insight into his performance art career, and the story behind being part of the controversial "NEA Four," a group of artists who took the National Endowment for the Arts to the Supreme Court in a case about censorship that continues to have implications today.

Ron Canada went from Harlem to the Delta Quadrant in the span of his over four-decade-long career on stage and screen, starting in NYC in theater and not long after in Hollywood with over 200 appearances in the many facets of his performing resume. Trekkies may remember Ron best as Martin Benbeck in the Star Trek TNG episode "The Masterpiece Society," the Klingon lawyer Ch'Pok from Star Trek DS9's "Rules of Engagement," and on Voyager as the Malon freighter captain named Fesek from "Juggernaut."  Ron reminisces about how he was cast in Star Trek, working with Patrick Stewart and the brilliant ways he showed off the different faces of anger through Martin, acting alongside Avery Brooks and Michael Dorn in a very memorable legal episode of DS9 that was directed by Levar Burton, sitting in the makeup chair to be a Klingon and Malon, the challenging conditions of filming his episode of Voyager, and the story of how Ron was almost cast as Martok but lost out to his former roommate J.G. Hertzler! Ron brought a lot of life to these characters, and aspiring actors will love his tips and explanations for his choices with these roles.  Plus, acting with Jaleel White and Darius McCrary on "Family Matters" and how he almost played Reginald Vel Johnson's character on the show, "Adventures in Babysitting" with Anthony Rapp, his bizarre William Shatner story from "Boston Legal," acting alongside David Hasselhoff in the infamous "Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD" Marvel movie, memories of boxing legend Angelo Dundee while working on "Cinderella Man," working on "The Orville" with Seth McFarlane and Jonathan Frakes, and more!  Support Trek Untold by checking out our merchandise at https://teespring.com/stores/trekuntold or become a Patreon at Patreon.com/TrekUntold.

Paul Robert Coyle has a storied past when it comes to writing television, pun intended. He has worked on and contributed to scripts for "Simon & Simon," "Barnaby Jones," "CHiPs," "Superboy," and more, but most listeners today would know him best for his work on several Star Trek episodes and his time on "Hercules" and "Xena." Paul tells us about some of the Star Trek scripts he wrote or contributed to, including the DS9 episode "Whispers" and the VOY episode "State of Flux," where he conceptualized the character of Seska. He also tells us about learning how to write from Dorothy Fontana, his first meeting with Gene Roddenberry, and the debacle that was his attempt to write an episode of the Star Trek animated series. We also spend a little time discussing his time as a writer and producer on "Xena" and "Hercules," including the creation of their mirror universe and the time Paul R. Coyle was played by Michael Hurst in an actual episode!

Stunt performers are some of the most fascinating people in Hollywood to listen to, and our guest on this episode is no exception to the rule. Tom Morga first appeared in 1979 as a double for Leonard Nimoy in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and worked in nearly all of the TOS movies. From there, he joined the crew of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as a stunt performer and double, as well as assistant stunt coordinator alongside Dennis Madalone. Tom worked on TNG, DS9, VOY, Enterprise, and the Nemesis film. He is the "most seen stunt performer" in all of Star Trek, playing nearly every alien you can name, and has taken punches and done falls with the best of them! If you check his Memory Alpha page, it literally says "Too many to list"! In addition to Trek, we also discuss some of his other work in stunts on a resume with over 100 productions, including his time as Harold Ramis' stunt double in "Ghostbusters," working with Jackie Chan in his first feature film in the US, Gene Lebell and Rita Egleston stories, being part of an award-winning fight scene in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and working on the Academy Award-winning film "The Artist" from 2011, and much more.

The Benzites are one of my favorite aliens in Star Trek, and on this episode of “Trek Untold,” we speak with the man behind the makeup of the very first one ever seen onscreen, John Putch.

Without today's guest, the universe of Star Trek would sound very different. Marc Okrand is the man behind Klingon, Vulcan, Kelpien, and languages for other shows &amp; films.    Before his time on Trek, Marc earned a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in indigenous languages of the west coast of America, and was a post-doctoral fellow in the Anthropology Department of the Smithsonian Institute.   We learn about how Marc became connected to the Star Trek universe thanks to his work on TV during the early days of closed captioning, and what he contributed to the Vulcan language in "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan" and the creation of the Klingon language in "Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock". There, Marc worked directly with star &amp; director Leonard Nimoy and Christopher Lloyd on-set to make sure the lines were correct.   Marc continued to expand on the Klingon language through the years, contributing to other Star Trek films &amp; TV shows, and later created the Kelpien language for "Star Trek: Discovery." His work also includes the Atlantean language for the Disney animated film "Atlantis" and discusses the rumor that he was the inspiration for the main character Milo's look. He's also written a few books on speaking Klingon and is always figuring out new words and phrases for fans and shows alike!   We have an in-depth discussion on how a language is created and how to make a fictional one sound real. No stone is left unturned on this episode of "Trek Untold," so get ready for a lesson on linguistics and Star Trek like you've never heard before!

Susan Diol's acting career spans dozens of TV shows and theatrical works, but Trekkies know her best as the Vidiian hematologist, Dr. Danara Pel, from two episodes of "Star Trek: Voyager" titled "Lifesigns" and "Resolutions." Before her time on Voyager, she appeared as a scientist named Carmen Davila on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in "Silicon Avatar." However, her character didn't make it past the opening act for reasons you'll understand when you watch the episode. Susan was also one of the actresses initially considered for the role of Captain Janeway.   Throughout her career, Susan has worked with Andy griffin, Dick van Dyke, Megan Mullaly, John Larroquette, Candace Bergan, Jerry Seinfeld, and Mark Harmon, to name a few. She has performed on Broadway and in LA and worked with some legends in the theater.   We discuss her time on TNG and VOY, including her memories of Robert Picardo, wearing the heavy makeup and prosthetics to become a Vidiian with the Phage, and how some of her memorable scenes came together.   Sci-fi fans may also remember her on Quantum Leap, as she was part of an alternate ending for the series finale, which we spend some time reminiscing about, too, along with other roles.   Plus, acting onstage with Uta Hagen, Victor Garber, and John Cullum, stories of character actor Roy Brocksmith who Trekkies may remember from the TNG episode "Peak Performance," time with Chuck Norris while filming "Walker, Texas Ranger," her two-parter on "Night Court" where she almost married Richard Moll, and her date with Brent Spiner!

Trekkies may remember Tim as Lt. Daniel Kwan from the season 7 episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" titled "Eye of the Beholder," but he was also Vin Asunder in the "Star Trek Away Team" video game and has one more surprising Star Trek role that you have to hear about. We discuss the makeup process to become a Napien, behind the scenes stories of Jonathan Frakes and Gates McFadden, and other fond memories from filming the episode, and the reaction after. Tim also tells us what it was like for an Asian-American actor trying to break into Hollywood in the early '90s, his time on the Hollywood Squares set while filming an episode of "The Nanny," memories of sharing the stage with Michael Forest AKA Apollo from the Star Trek TOS episode "Who Mourns Adonis?", working on "Bosch," "Saved By The Bell: The New Class" and "All-American Girl" with Margaret Cho - a story that involves Garrett Wang from "Star Trek: Voyager."   Plus, he explains why he left Hollywood for seven years and what made him decide to return and come back better than ever!

Trekkies will remember Billy Van Zandt from one memorable appearance in the Star Trek franchise, but you may know him better for his acclaimed work as a writer and producer for TV &amp; theater, alongside his writing partner Jane Milmore. Born in New Jersey, Billy headed to Hollywood to pursue an acting career inspired by Lucille Ball. Logically, his first stop was Lucille's home, and he has a story about that, as well as working with her and Gale Gordon on "Life with Lucy" and later producing an Emmy award-winning CBS TV special about her. He is also known for his roles in "Jaws 2" with Rob Scheider and "TAPS" with Tom Cruise, Sean Pen, and George C. Scott, which we spend some time chatting about today. Billy stepped into the world of Trek in 1979 as the Rhaadarite in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" and talks about being cast in the film, his thoughts on the new look of Trek and their uniforms, memories of the principal cast, and his extensive makeup process with Ve Neill to become this new type of alien. We also discuss his TV writing career with Jane, which includes "Newhart," "Martin," "The Wayans Bros," "The Hughleys," "Daddy Dearest," "Suddenly Susan," and others. Billy has great stories of working with Martin Lawrence, Bob Newhart, Shawn &amp; Marlon Wayans, Richard Lewis, and Don Rickles! Plus, his stage career with some of his notable plays like "You've Got Hate Mail!", "The Property Known as Garland" and "High School Reunion: The Musical."

Today, we're speaking with Steve Neill, who is known for his special effects work on "Star Trek: The Motion Picture," specifically making Leonard Nimoy's Vulcan ears and the makeup for the Rhaandarites. He also worked on some of the other Trek films, along with the pilot for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" titled "Encounter at Farpoint" for a scene that was ultimately unused. Beyond Trek, Steve's worked on "Laser Blast," "Ghostbusters," "Fright Night," "The Stuff," "Return of Swamp Thing," "Puppet Master," and more. This includes a McDonald's commercial with a unique Star Trek connection, as Doug Jones was Mac Tonight, and Steve made the mask for him! These days, Steve continues to make models and masks for himself and for fans to purchase, including a series of Star Trek TOS characters. He's gained recognition for his custom builds of enormous versions of the original Enterprise and a 1:1 scale replica of the original captain's chair. Learn all about this interesting SFX artist whose decades of knowledge and experience go hand in hand with his love of the craft.

Jeff Russo has gone from rock bands in NYC to composing scores for Hollywood, and Trek fans will know him best for creating the music for "Star Trek: Discovery" and "Star Trek: Picard."   Before he started scoring soundtracks, Jeff was part of the Grammy-nominated band TONIC, whose music you can hear in "Scream 2" and "American Pie," and their music videos have millions of views on Youtube. His journey in music led him to score TV shows like "Fargo," "Lucifer," and "The Umbrella Academy," where he got to work with Gerard Way from "My Chemical Romance," as well as the world of Star Trek.   We talk about his experiences working on these shows, his philosophy on making music, creating the sounds of the Star Trek universe, working with Isa Briones on "Blue Skies," his fandom for Star Trek, and his reaction to what happens in "Star Trek: Picard," and how the COVID-19 Pandemic changed how TV shows were scored, especially during season 3 of Discovery.   Support Trek Untold by checking out our merchandise at https://teespring.com/stores/trekuntold or become a Patreon at Patreon.com/TrekUntold.   Check out some of Jeff's soundtracks using our Amazon Affiliate links, which help us out at no extra cost to you!   "Star Trek: Picard" season 1 soundtrack - https://amzn.to/2JxoZeK   "Star Trek: Discovery" season 1 soundtrack - https://amzn.to/3oixR6M   Star Trek: Discovery" season 2 soundtrack - https://amzn.to/3lxvYS3   "The Umbrella Academy" season 1 soundtrack - https://amzn.to/3lyzmfw   Check out Lycia Naff's charity, Drive-By Do-Gooders, at this link here - https://www.drivebydogooders.org/ Support Trek Untold by checking out our merchandise at https://teespring.com/stores/trekuntold or become a patron at Patreon.com/TrekUntold.

Stunts make the show, and on this episode, we dive deep into the world of action for Star Trek. We are joined by Dennis Madalone, the stunt coordinator for "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine" and "Voyager."   Dennis first appeared in Star Trek 6 as a Klingon and eventually got a chance to work on TNG, leading him to become a stunt coordinator on the show, and eventually, most of the series during the '90s. We talk about how stunts and action scenes get put together, doubling for actors, the most dangerous stunt he ever did on Trek, the worst day on the job as a Jem'Hadar, who was the best at doing their own stunts, and more from his time in Trek.   Beyond star trek, Dennis has fallen off tall buildings or been hit by cars for shows and films like "The Greatest American Hero," where he doubled for William Katt, "Darkman," "The Guyver," "Army of Darkness," "Pulp Fiction," "The X-Files," and over a hundred other credited projects. We talk about a few of those today, as well as the time he launched Johnny Carson 20 feet in the air with explosions, and of course, we chat about that.   Plus, Dennis became mainstream for a bit thanks to a certain music video he made called "America, We Stand As One," but we will get to that a little later in our conversation, so make sure to listen all the way to the end.

In the decorated annals of Star Trek memes, few are as strong and enduring as the sex-candle ghost from the seventh season TNG episode "Sub Rosa." In this episode, we are honored to have that spirit take physical form, as we speak with the actor who brought Ronin to life, Duncan Regehr.   While many fans know him best from TNG, he was also Shakaar in three episodes of Star Trek DS9. We discuss both of those roles, including his thoughts on "Sub Rosa" and all of the memes, working with Gates McFadden and a take for that episode that was too hot for TV, acting with Nana Visitor, and why Shakaar didn't appear as much as he could have in the series, and much more.   We also discuss some of Duncan's other memorable roles, including Count Dracula in "The Monster Squad," playing Zorro with another Star Trek alumni Henry Darrow in the 90's Zorro TV show, his portrayal of Errol Flynn in "My Wicked, Wicked Ways," and much more.   In addition to being a classically-trained veteran actor, Duncan is also a writer, a poet, a painter, and so much more! We delve into the many passions of our guest and learn all about this very fascinating human being who is so much more than merely being the sex-candle ghost!   Learn more about Duncan's Gallery and his art at his official website - https://www.duncanregehr.com/   Order one of Duncan's books, "Dragon's Eye" from 1994, using this link here - https://amzn.to/37zXx8u Pick up Armin Shimerman's new book "Illyria: Betrayal of Angels" from Amazon.com- https://buff.ly/35OYAAp Don't forget to subscribe to the show and leave a rating if you like us!   Trek Untold is sponsored by Triple-Fiction Productions, a US-based company that 3-D prints Trek-inspired prop replicas for fan films and cosplayers, as well as accessories and playsets for all iterations of Trek figures through the years.

If you're ever on DS9 and need a place to wet your whistle, run – don't walk – to Quark's Bar! Today, we speak with Armin Shimerman, most famously known to Trek fans as Quark from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." He's here to answer fan-submitted questions and discuss his new book, "Illyria: Betrayal of Angels," the first in a historical-fiction trilogy starring a young William Shakespeare.   Armin, who is also an adjunct professor of Shakespeare, talks to us about the long process of writing this book and how to better understand the language of the writing from this era.   Armin tells us about his Star Trek: The Next Generation" debut, which was actually in "Haven" as the Betazoid Gift Box, and then discusses his first time as the Ferengi in "The Last Outpost." He has some big regrets about this appearance and tells us why he thinks he almost killed the Ferengi!   Armin breathed new life into the Ferengi years later when he played Quark on DS9 for seven seasons and shares some stories about his time on the promenade. We learn about wearing the makeup &amp; prosthetics, why Quark never had a flange on the back of his head like other Ferengi, thoughts on his Playmates action figure and filming the TV commercial for those toys, and memories of his appearance on "Live with Regis &amp; Kathie Lee" when he appeared live on their show in full makeup.   Plus, memories of Rene Auberjonois, his favorite guest stars, if the Ferengi were meant to be representations of the Jewish people, voicing Andrew Ryan in the "Bioshock" series, and working with Sammo Hung on "Martial Law"!

Lycia Naff is known best to Star Trek fans for her two appearances in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as Ensign Sonya Gomez from the second season episodes "Q Who" and "Samaritan Snare". Meant to be a love interest for Geordi LaForge, things didn't work out for Ensign Gomez after spilling her hot chocolate on Captain Picard. Lycia tells us the behind-the-scenes story about what happened to her character, and what happened to the third episode she was meant to appear in that would have changed Geordi's character. Plus, memories of seeing the Borg in their debut appearance, working with the cast &amp; crew including having to spill hot liquids on Patrick Stewart, and why she believes Ensign Gomez never returned. You may also recognize Lycia from her role in "Total Recall" as the three-breasted mutant hooker on Mars! Lycia recalls working with Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger in this iconic and memorable role, with some happy stories and one "explosive" tale. Lycia explains why she left acting and pursued journalism, leading to one of her biggest stories, when she broke news about the Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations. We talk about the investigation, and the fallout from this story, as well as how it changed the landscape of modern feminism. Plus, horror stories of working with Debbie Allen on the "Fame" TV series, sharing the screen with Daryl Hannah in "Clan of The Cave Bear", and riding motorcycles &amp; killing the undead in the B-movie "Chopper Chicks in Zombietown".

Comics and Star Trek have a long history together, one that continues to this day. Nearly every major comic company has held the license, from Marvel, DC, Malibu Comics, and today it resides under IDW Publishing. In this episode of "Trek Untold," we speak with the writer for the most recent Trek mini-series coming out that just came out this week, Dave Baker. Dave is the writer of "Star Trek Voyager: Seven's Reckoning," drawn by Angel Hernandez and colored by Ronda Pattison. We discuss his history of comics, the road he took to become a professional writer, and his odd history of becoming a Star Trek fan. Baker talks us through his latest Trek comic, which is all about Seven of Nine, writing dialogue for familiar characters like Captain Janeway and Tuvok, creating new alien races, and working with CBS to have the comic approved. We also spend some time discussing his work for the "Star Trek Waypoint Special" in 2018, which features a story he wrote that was drawn by Nicole Goux. Dave also tells us about some of his other comic work and an upcoming project you may be interested in, as well as some tips for how to break into the comic industry. As a side note, this episode contains some language that may be harsh for some listeners; viewer discretion is advised.

It's time for me to turn into a fanboy on the show, and I hope the same happens to you when you listen to this interview with Max Grodénchik. You may remember Max best as Rom from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," the brother of Quark who rose up from being a bumbling buffoon into being married to the lovely Leeta, was the father of the first Ferengi in Starfleet, and ultimately became the Grand Nagus of Ferenginar! Max is one of my favorite character actors of all time, and Rom is one of my favorite characters in all of Star Trek, so we talk in-depth about his experiences on DS9, including wearing the makeup, stories about Armin Shimerman &amp; Aron Eisenberg, how he developed the voice and mannerisms of Rom, and Max even critiques my Rom voice! Before DS9, Max played two other Ferengi in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in the episodes "Captain's Holiday" and "The Perfect Mate," and shares memories of working with Patrick Stewart and Famke Janssen, as well as his reaction to the first time he wore the Ferengi makeup. Plus, working with Tiny Ron in "The Rocketeer" &amp; Whoopi Goldberg in "Sister Act," thoughts on the Rom action figure from Playmates, baseball stories from "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," his deleted scene from "Star Trek: Insurrection," Max's singing career with "The Rat Pack" of Star Trek, and much more!

Sheila McCarthy is one of the best actresses you've likely never heard of - because most of her career has been in Canada! She's had plenty of prominent roles in the US too, and in 2019 she appeared in the second season episode of "Star Trek Discovery" titled "New Eden" as Amesha the All-Mother.

Phil Morris is another of those actors whose face you've seen many times (200 to be exact) but whose name you may not have known until today. His father is the famous Greg Morris from the original "Mission: Impossible" show, and we spoke with his sister Iona Morris a few months back on this show, so acting is in his family's blood! Phil has been in the Star Trek franchise FIVE times, starting when he was a child in the original series in the season 1 episode "Miri". He explains how he got cast on the show, and the scene they didn’t warn any of the kids about! Over 20 years later, Phil returned to Trek and worked face to face with William Shatner in "Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock", and recalls the brilliant piece of direction Leonard Nimoy told him before his scene. Fast forward a few years later and Phil made his way to DS9 in “Looking for Par’Mach in All The Wrong Places”, where he tells us about becoming a Klingon, learning to fight with a batleth against Armin Shimmerman, and being directed by Andrew Robinson AKA Garak. One season later he returned as the Third Remata Klan in “Rocks and Shoals” as a Jem’Hadar, and Phil tells us what it’s like to work with the imposing Avery Brooks. Finally, his “Star Trek Voyager” appearance ast Lt. John Kelly in “One Small Step”, what it was like being directed by his acting school classmate Robert Picardo, and what big emotions came up filming this episode.   Plus, being Jackie Chiles on “Seinfeld”, working with Angela Lansbury on “Murder, She Wrote” and Will Smith on “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”, what he learned from his famous father and how the two of them got along on set for the “Mission: Impossible” reboot in 1988, Vandal Savage in Justice League animated series, and being on Doom patrol as Cyborg’s dad, Silas Stone, and the story of the worst day he ever had on the job!

The Star Trek universe is nothing without its aliens, and these unique races are brought to life by some of the best makeup teams in Hollywood. Today we chat with an award-winning artist who worked on Star Trek for many years and was part of the Emmy award winning team on "Star Trek Deep Space Nine", Thomas E. Surprenant. Thomas explains how he first became interested in special FX make-up and how he transformed his passion into a profession, info he received from the legendary Chris Mueller Jr and Charles Schram, behind the scenes stories from "Donnie Darko", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and his embarrassing tale with Luke Perry.   From there, we talk Trek, and Thomas explains how he got hired by Michael Westmore for the shows, what it was like working on TNG, DS9 and Generations simultaneously, what the intensive process is for making an actor become an alien, which surprising make-up he did the most on Star Trek that you would never expect, working on “Blood Oath” and Klingon Make-up (and his thoughts on DISCO Klingons), and the Emmy episodes “Distant Voices” and “The Visitor” with Alexander Siddig and Tony Todd. Plus, nightmare stories of his worst day on set, the best advice he ever received from Michael Westmore, and what you should do if you want to break into the make-up industry.

The true history of the original Star Trek is one that has only really been unraveled in the last 20 years, and that is predominantly thanks to today's guest, Marc Cushman. Marc is the author of "These Are The Voyages", six books that chronicle the history of the original Star Trek series with the most in-depth research ever. Marc tells us the story of how he became connected with Dorothy Fontana which led him to meeting Gene Roddenberry, and ultimately gaining access to Gene’s archives to create these encyclopedic works that tell the full story of Star Trek.   Marc answers a ton of listener-submitted questions and explains what Gene Roddenberry did before he became a TV show writer, how involved Lucille Ball really was in getting Star Trek on air and why she never did a cameo on the show, how Matt Jeffries designed the original enterprise and what the acronym NCC in NCC-1701 means, William Shatner stories, and behind the stories on fan-favorite episodes like concerns of plagiarism on “Arena” and the challenges of filming the infamous fight scene with the Gorn , “Shore Leave”, “The Trouble with Tribbles”, tales of John Drew Barrymore filming “The Alternative Factor” and what storyline the censors forced them to remove, and the drama behind “The City on The Edge of Forever” along with some great Harlan Ellison stories.

It's no easy task to put on prosthetics in the Star Trek universe, but Avaah Blackwell is one actress that is up for the task. She went from a model to actress and is now on the road to being a stunt performer. You would know Avaah from her role in "Star Trek: Discovery," but you've never seen her face since she plays a peculiar looking alien who serves aboard the Discovery called the Osnullus. Avaah discusses the strange circumstances that led her to win the role of Osnullus, what it was like wearing the head for the first time, advice she received from Doug Jones, working with Jason Isaacs and Anson Mount, why she says the DISCO set is one of the best she has been on, and more Star Trek stories. Plus, we talk about her international education in acting, a few of the interesting short films Avaah appeared in, her time on "12 Monkeys", making "Fan Girl Fights" with her friend, and her new career in stunt performing, including her time in an MMA movie and on the upcoming "Jupiter's Legacy" show.

For the first time on TREK UNTOLD, we are joined by three guests! Up first, we speak with Angelique &amp; Steven Fawcette, the creative team behind the new sci-fi parody movie and Star Trek homage, "Unbelievable!!!!!" which features over 40 actors from five different Star Trek series, along with Michael Madsen, Robert Davi, and Snoop Dogg. Oh, and did we mention a marionette Captain Kirk made by the same team who did the puppets for "Team America"? Yeah, that's there too. The Fawcettes talk to us about working with so many different Trek alumni, the kismet moment that led to Michael Madsen being in it, and give us some behind-the-scenes stories of making the film. Following that, we speak with Gerald Fried, the last living composer who worked on the original Star Trek series. At 92, Mr. Fried is just as sharp and has a lifetime of great stories, and came out of retirement to make the score for "Unbelievable!!!!!". Gerald composed five pieces for Star Trek for the episodes "Cat's Paw," "Shore Leave," Friday's Child," "The Paradise Syndrome," and the unforgettable and often-referenced "Amok Time" - yes, he made THAT song! His resume includes around 200 films &amp; shows, and we discuss a few of these in addition to Trek, including scoring Stanley Kubrick's early films, Gilligan's Island, Roots, and more.  Check out Unbelievable!!!!! on Amazon Prime at this link here - https://amzn.to/2YVkHT7 Follow the Unbelievable!!!!! film on Social Media Below - https://twitter.com/adiffkindatrek https://www.facebook.com/officialunbelievablethemovie/ https://www.instagram.com/unbelievablemv/ Don't forget to subscribe to the show and leave a rating if you like us!

Hilary Shepard has terrorized teens with attitudes, did aerobics with Bea Arthur &amp; Betty White, and tried to seduce Starfleet officers, among other accomplishments through her diverse career. "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" fans will remember her as ensign Hoya from "The Ship," and her two appearances as Lauren, the lusty genetically enhanced genius from "Statistical Probabilities" and "Chrysalis," but many fans like myself know her best as the evil Divatox from "Power Rangers Turbo"! We talk about dancing with Alexander Siddig and singing with The Jack Pack, how she got the role and what inspired her performance, and being directed by Anson Williams AKA Pottsy from "Happy Days"! Plus, memories of her all-girl band "American Girls," working with young Johnny Depp in one of his earliest roles "Private Resort," being an aerobics instructor on "The Golden Girls" and hanging out with Jon Stamos on "Full House," being an evil villain in a Meatloaf music video, grinding on Steve Carrell in "The 40-Year Old Virgin", and making board games with her BFF Daryl Hannah. And of course, some talk about arguably her most famous role as DIvatox in "Power Rangers Turbo" and a strange connection with Brad Pitt's first movie role (that Hilary was a part of) and Power Rangers!

One of the main reasons I became such a big Star Trek lover was because of the action figures, and I had the pleasure of talking to one of the people whose hands were responsible for making those toys. Scott Hensey began working on the Playmates Star Trek series on day one, sculpting the first wave of figures in 1992 and remained crafting them until the end of the line. Scott explains the ins and outs of making Trek toys as well as other properties he worked on, and answers fan-submitted questions like why the figures were posed oddly, why Riker's shirt was torn up, which figures he always wanted to make but never could, and much more. Plus, what happened when WWF wrestlers got their hands on his LJN prototypes, what Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones said about their "Men In Black" figures, and stories about working on TMNT, Toxic Crusaders, Earthworm Jim, Skeleton Warriors, The Coneheads and other toy lines!

It's always a special day when we have the opportunity to chat with an actor from the original Star Trek series, especially one with a resume like today's guest. Carl Held appeared in the first season episode "The Return of The Archons" as Lt. Lindstrom, a character with a decent amount of screen time, but whose face was covered up by Shatner in most scenes, and whose sub-plot was completely eliminated from the final cut. You can bet we get to the bottom of why that happened! Growing up during the Great Depression and serving in the US military, his first big stage performance in the late 1950s, where he met his wife and fellow Trek Alumni Sarah Marshall and some actor you may have heard of - William Shatner - who he understudied for. He also explains why he believes his casting in the episode was a mistake by Gene Roddenberry, and why so many of his scenes were cut from the episode. Plus, getting a ride home from Deforest Kelley and being beaned in the head by a rock in the show! Plus, what he learned from Raymond Burr on "Perry Mason," his appearance on the original Outer Limits with Martin Landau and Shirley Knight, sharing the stage with Patrick Stewart in repertory with the Royal Shakespeare Company of London, working with Sean Connery in a James Bond movie, his appearance on the "Incredible Hulk" TV show, the mystery behind his many screen-names including Christopher Held and Carl Byrd, his favorite experience filming a movie, and much more! At 88 years of age, Carl Held is still just as sharp as ever and has a lot of great stories to tell about his life and career. Don't forget to subscribe to the show and leave a rating if you like us!

The technology of Star Trek is one of the most fascinating parts of the shows, but since we live in the 21st century, creating futuristic tech still requires contemporary methods. Today we speak with Master Propmaker Michael Moore, who has been building props for Hollywood for decades. In this episode, Michael talks to us exclusively about his work on Star Trek movie props, which he began as an assistant during the fourth TOS movie, and continued to work on through all of the four TNG films and the first JJ Abrams movie. Michael explains how he became interested in making props and how he turned his passion into his profession, how you define a prop when it comes to Star Trek, stories about pieces from the TOS and TNG movies including Spock's anti-gravity boots, phasers, commbadges, tricorders, borg technology, what was his worst day on set, and much more. Plus, how 3-D printing and COVID-19 has changed the landscape for prop making!

When we talk about character actors, we are talking about the working backbone of the TV &amp; film industry. Today, we are joined by the highly prolific Spencer Garrett, who holds over 200 acting credits to his name on a resume that continues to grow each day. One of Spencer's first roles was actually his appearance on TNG in the episode "The Drumhead," where he played Crewman Tarses in a very memorable episode. We discuss acting with Patrick Stewart, Jean Simmons, being directed by Jonathan Frakes, wearing the pointy ears, and what was cut from the episode. He followed that up years later as a Starfleet hologram named Weiss in the VOY two-parter "Flesh &amp; Blood," where we chat about working with Robert Picardo and Jeffrey Yagher, the surreal set filled with tons of aliens, and how sick he became from filming the opening scene of that episode. Plus, growing up in a Hollywood house as a third-generation actor, his family connection to Star Trek, more Angela Lansbury stories, working with Robert Duvall, being impaled by a Christmas tree on "Supernatural," sharing the screen with Brad Pitt &amp; Leonardo DiCaprio in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood," becoming Sean Hannity in "Bombshell," the fun pandemic project Spencer and his actor friends are working on during their quarantine lockdown, and more!
