Give me a fun anecdote about one of your very first roles, as a "Deep Space Nine" Cardassian soldier.

I think that was whatever year I moved to Hollywood; I came down kind of late. I had done a couple of indie films up in Washington, which is where I’m from, but yeah, "Star Trek" was, I think, my very first gig.

It may have been one scene, it may have been two, but I just remember going, “This is so foreign to me, this style of what they’re doing.” "Star Trek", that show anyway, felt to me almost pseudo-Shakespearian, and I am a bit of a naturalist, so it was a challenge for me. Not only that, I remember the makeup being probably five hours applying, and five hours taking it off.




I was going to say, those were the early days of prosthetics, so it had to be a process.

Yeah, it was a big deal. And I don’t remember where I went from there, but I’m pretty sure that was my very first gig.
