- Nov 07, 2020
'Star Trek' posited a better future.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The fact that we were encouraged to follow our conscience and not to follow the crowds - that's something I really miss. On the other hand, there were things that drove me nuts in the '60s. There was an aspect of the hippie movement that everyone is an artist, which is lethal.

I'm not really shy.

'Twin Peaks' is like a movie; 'China Beach' is like a movie. These are two of the most cinematic shows on television, and they belong together.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have played some wonderful leading roles on stage and had the whole 'China Beach' years where I really played a leading man on that. That was a fun change for a character actor. But I'm perfectly happy going back to building my gallery of memorable character roles.
- Generation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We were second-generation immigrants, and it was luxury enough to go to college. The luxury of the arts was still a generation away.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As an actor, you're never supposed to complain about being too busy because it can go the other way real fast.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People admire a screen actor if they have theatre skills, but it's looked down upon by the industry as being not a 'real job,' in the way it isn't in New York or the U.K.
- Film And Television
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For two consecutive Broadway seasons, I had probably the best juvenile roles there were for an actor. Then I moved to California to recreate my role in the film version of 'Tribute.' I started working in film and television after that, and 38 years blew by!
- Material
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Jerry Goldsmith's 'Voyager' theme is a brilliant reworking of the original material.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, the ideal job as an actor would be something that is intrinsically a drama but to which I could bring in as much humor as possible.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
I didn't realize it at first, but the Doctor is in the same spirit as those natural 'outsider' characters 'Star Trek' series have, like Spock and Data.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Yuri's Night is a world celebration for everyone who's interested in a human presence in space - without concern for politics, the Cold War, countries that do and don't have space programs.
- Ego
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The best way to tell an actor he's going to be working more and much harder is to appeal to his ego.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Working with J. J. Abrams would be absolutely great.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What's wonderful about 'Star Trek' having been rebooted so successfully by the J. J. 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.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Trek' is probably more cerebral and philosophical. 'Stargate' does seat-of-the-pants adventure and humor better.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even though my face has gotten more familiar with doing 'China Beach' and 'The Wonder Years,' I'm the kind of actor that people thought, 'Gee, that guy looks familiar. He must have put my storm windows in. He works at my bank or something.'
- Childhood
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I went to the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia, where I had a teacher really named Edward Shakespeare. He was a very influential figure in my childhood - I acted in high school a few times, but Mr. Shakespeare got me to lead in 'The Crucible.' I played John Proctor.
- Family
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family was pretty solidly middle-class. We had a furniture store out near Connie Mack Stadium, and when Dad died, my mom took it over.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you're looking at my other major science fiction roles - the Doctor on 'Star Trek' and certainly Woolsey on 'Stargate' - I often play characters that might be good theorists and good thinkers, but you wouldn't call either of them very macho characters.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think there's something inherently interesting in the Monday morning quarterback: the guy who, you know, sits at one end of the briefing room and tells everyone what they should've done and how they've screwed up.
- Made
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I really used my own imagination a lot and made a number of suggestions during my tenure on 'Star Trek.'
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When an actor gets a role, especially in series television where he really is the part, the audience never thinks of another actor playing that role. If they accept you in the role, then they can't separate the actor from the character.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nobody wants to play - I've talked to Brent Spiner about this. You don't want to play a character indefinitely who's not supposed to age.
- Face
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Let's face it: Amanda Tapping's shoes are difficult to fill. She's a great actress and a popular character on 'Stargate'; she's just a lovely person.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love to play humorous moments in dramatic shows. That's always the most fun: to keep the logic of the character in a show that's basically action-adventure and then play the comedy moments.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We had great comic mileage in the 'SG-1' episode 'The Swarm,' where Woolsey is running away faster than anybody else.
- Doing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Star Trek' tends to take itself a little too seriously. They were either very dramatic shows, or if we did a humorous show, it was always a little like, 'Oh, we're doing humor on 'Star Trek,'' especially on the original series.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My character on 'Voyager,' because of the way he was presented, I could go either way. I could be a real buffoon, a windbag, be self-involved, and we could get a lot of comic mileage from him. However, the audience accepted me with gravity when I was in a dire situation, so they would follow me in comic or dramatic stories.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
'Star Trek' is still my signature role because once you do a 'Star Trek' series, it's never really out of the marketplace.
- Fortunate
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I've been pretty fortunate.
- Character
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After 'Star Trek,' I was the commander on 'Stargate Atlantis,' the final season, and once my character had become a good commander, I was sorry that the show didn't last beyond that.
- Legends
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes I have little movies that I've made that I wish would be seen by a larger audience. I have a horror movie called 'Sensored' which I'm very creepy and disgusting in, and then I have a family drama called 'The Legends of Nethiah' which has a science-fiction B-story.
- Like

- Nov 07, 2020
Most of my major roles have been to play characters that the audience does not initially like or warm up to and then they grow to like in spite of that.
- Living
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It was hard to make a living as an actor in New York if you did not do soap operas or commercials.
- Nov 07, 2020
It's nice to have a signature role.
- Nov 07, 2020
No one can replace Amanda Tapping.
- Play

- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
I like some science in my science fiction.
