“I was minding my own business,” Takei joked. Takei said that he was written up for “attacking actors” and is now on record for having attacked James Doohan with a fencing foil. While doing so, he frightened fellow actor James Doohan (Scotty), who thought he was being attacked. He’s started fencing lessons a few weeks before filming the episode, but practiced himself on the side. For me, it was the most fun episode I ever worked on.” “It was absolutely powerfully written, a tense and dramatic story, and also very science fiction. It is of course “The Naked Time,” the Season 1 episode where he breaks out his fencing foil. There’s one particular episode of Star Trek that Takei was is especially happy with, and it involves a virus that releases inhibitions. He referenced his recent work on Star Wars: Visions, joking that he’s loyal to Star Trek, but that he’s also “trying to pacify the Star Wars people.”Ī fan asked Takei about the famous sci-fi writer, Harlan Ellison, who wrote the script for the famous Trek episode “The City on the Edge of Forever.” Ellison was famously unhappy with what was done to his script for that episode, and Takei remembers seeing him on the lot “having a rant about someone I don’t know.” He said that he saw him again later, and found Ellison to be perfectly nice. He’ll play an animated cat general who fights for a character played by Ricky Gervais. At the other end of the creative spectrum, he’s soon going to begin working on a new movie with Mel Brooks. Titled “They Called Us Enemy,” the book is about him being imprisoned by the U.S. Takei said he personally spent the pandemic working on another book. “We Star Trek people, and we who look to the future with optimism, we know better,” he said. He wasted no time in sharing gratitude for the fully-vaccinated audience, mentioning how he was surprised that so many others are currently “fighting to die.” “I missed you all so much,” Takei began, as the crowd gave him a rousing welcome. Takei held a live panel as part of New York Comic Con 2021 and SYFY WIRE was there to learn from the legend himself. Takei's career expands well past those stars however, as he has acted in such projects as Mulan, Kubo and the Two Strings, Archer, has played a version of himself on The Simpsons, and even ventured to the galaxy far, far away with roles in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the recent Star Wars: Visions. George Takei blazed new trails as the character in the Star Trek franchise, appearing in the original series, the first six movies, and even Star Trek: Voyager. Enterprise would not have gotten far without Hikaru Sulu at the helm, and Sulu only worked because of the man who portrayed him. I believe in enriching yourself as you are living life.The U.S.S.

When one is elderly, you get too tired you can’t walk that far or play that hard. I love food, and I am trying to teach myself restraint. My mother got a wad of money and gave it to the people, and they ran away. The robbers grabbed my father and had a gun at his throat. What is the closest you’ve come to death?Īfter the war, when I was about nine, we were held up in our home. My colleagues from Star Trek, with one exception. Who would you invite to your dream dinner party? I’ve done six marathons, but gravity has been working on my body for 82 years and pulled my pectoral muscles down. What do you most dislike about your appearance? What or who is the greatest love of your life? I would like to have the superpower to bring that kind of society to ours today. Gene Roddenberry, who created Star Trek, said that the strength of the Starship Enterprise was its diverse team working in concert. It did not return, but it was fulfilling that I was able to tell a story that’s dear. I went overboard on the money I invested in the production of Allegiance. This happened to 120,000 Japanese-Americans simply because we looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.Īside from a property, what’s the most expensive thing you’ve bought? I experienced my greatest fear when soldiers came to our home when I was five.
