"…I was a big Trekkie and they were like ‘ok we are going to develop
something with you’ and they wrote something where they come back to San
Francisco. They they were ‘and you are going to be the jive dude in San
Francisco with Spock’ and I was like ‘I don’t want to be the jive dude with
Spock, I want to have pointed ears and a phaser and I want to beam and I
want to do all of that’ and I never got to do it. So now I got to play the
captain in this film. Captain of the ship with a mid-Atlantic accent."
