I played trombone for 10 minutes, and then I was in an accordion band in school for even less.
I've got three brothers, and I think relationships between siblings are very interesting and not examined very much in film.
Most people in the business, in the feature film business-directors, producers-they don't even know I did STAR TREK.
Talking about the show reminds you of things that you went through. So it's fun. When the show was on, I couldn't have handled it. I didn't want that direct connection.
They'd write me out of a couple of episodes or they'd maybe shoot two days back-to-back-the last day of one episode and the first day of another episode-which would cut me loose for two or three weeks.
Which is good, in a way, because the danger in doing something like STAR TREK is that you end up in that pigeonhole and you're doing that the rest of your life.
