Actress Crystal Allen played Orion Slave Girl D'nesh in the fourth season Star Trek Enterprise episode "Bound". Now, she talks to TrekWeb about her return to the Star Trek universe in the upcoming fan film Star Trek Of Gods and Men, directed by Tim Russ.
Q : Crystal, what you can reveal about the plot of Star Trek Of Gods and Men ?
Allen : Well let's just say it's much darker and and edgy than any of the Trek
series. The characters that fans know from past episodes, now have different
personalites in this 3 part series.
Q : Can you describe your character ?
Allen : I play a human! For a change, no green makeup, loved it! I play the navigator who's got a little attitude, in a sexy outfit.
Q : How was working with director Tim Russ and the cast ?
Allen : I just wrapped a lead in a short "Story by Amy Niles" with Tim just before
filming this, so I was really looking forward to working with him agian. He's
an incredible actor and director and works really efficiently.
Q : Can you compare Of Gods and Men with your Star Trek Enterprise experience ?
Allen : Yes they were both evil women, on the bad side! I enjoy playing roles like
that, because there is just so much more depth to the character that you can
do anything with her!
Q : You did work on a couple of science-fiction shorts. Tell us about it.
Allen : Speaking of evil roles, yes I played a psychopath in David Livingston's short "Last Laugh". I play a partner in a law firm who will do anything to get to
the top. She's a murderer and Bob Picardo plays my victim! What a treat to work with Picardo, he is an intense actor.
The other short "Story by Amy Niles" with Tim I play a complete opposite
character, a bookworm who wears glasses and has no life. She gets so wrapped
up in this novel she writes, that it becomes her own reality.
Q : After Of Gods and Men, what are your future projects ?
Allen : I've have had a busy summer so far, so I am hoping it will continue. I will probably be signing in this year's Vegas convention. Also for the one in
Seattle to launch this 3 part series Sept 8-10.
I am also working on my own show but can't say much about it!
Q: Thank you so much, Crystal !
