The latest issue of Starburst magazine, just out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with actor Alan Ruck, who played Captain John Harriman of the U.S.S. Enterprise-B in the 1994 feature Star Trek Generations and now returns to the role in the upccoming fan film Star Trek Of Gods and Men. Here are few excerpts.
"I was happily surprised that someone had written something about Harriman again," said Ruck about the fan film "Some people were, like, "Oh, they should have expanded your character, they should bring him back, they should give him the Enterprise-B again' and all that kinda of stuff. We'll whatever - I'm just an actor, I do what thet tell me."
Some fans still blame Harriman and Ruck for the lost of Captain Kirk in the opening sequences of Star Trek Generations. Ruck said "I played a part in that. And some people have a grudge. Some people are pissed, and then I have to say there are a equal number who don't feel the least bit bad about it."
Ruck is impressed with the ambitious plans for Of Gods and Men. "So this thing is an experiment, in a way, it is like a pilot" he said "It's really, at this point, a speculative venture, and CBS is like, "Well, it's no skin off our nose. It's private money, you can get these people to be in it - it's all on your dime'. They are basically saying it's the producers " So go ahead and if something happens, maybe we will talk."
