The latest issue of SFX Magazine, out in the UK, features an interview with Bionic Woman actor Miguel Ferrer, who plays Jonas Bledsoe, the industrialist who owns the technology that reconfigures Jaime Sommers into the new Bionic Woman. Here are few excerpts from the interview.
The actor remembers his first science-fiction role, when he played the original first officer of the U.S.S. Excelsior in Star Trek III The Search for Spock.
"Star Trek III The Search for Spock" he laughs "It was such a thrill to do that, because I was such a fan of the show when I was a kid. I got to put on a Star Trek uniform. I was just amazing."
A science fiction fan himself, Ferrer said that he decided to join the Bionic Woman cast because of producer David Eick. "I got a call from my agent. He said 'There is this thing they are doing called Bionic Woman' I said 'Stop. It sounds horrendous. No. Forget it. I've just come off of six years of Crossing Jordan. I'm not doing stupid Bionic Woman'. He said 'No, no, no, It's not what you think it is. It's not silly. It's dark. It's nasty. It's by David Eick, the same guy who revamped Battlestar Galactica. He is the executive producer'.
"I don't know if you've watched any of those shows, " says Ferrer of Galactica "but it's phenomenal TV taken from a pretty silly franchise. So I said, 'Well, let's look at it' I read it and I thought it was terrific, and I signed on."

From the Six Degrees of Star Trek files...
Miguel Ferrer costars with Phil Morris in ST:III, and both of these actors provide voices for the new Justice League: The New Frontier animated feature. Ferrer voices the Martian Manhunter in this film, while Morris currently plays Martian Manhunter in Smallville.
Ferrer features in William Shatner's T.J. Hooker episode "Love Story" (1985) with fellow guest stars James Darren, a.k.a Vic Fontaine in DS9, and the debut of Patti Yasutake, a.k.a TNG Nurse Ogawa (Yasutake has also appeared as a doctor in Shatner's Boston Legal). This T.J. episode also features Michelle Phillips, who later plays Captain Picard's old flame in TNG love story "We'll Always Have Paris."
Ferrer appears in Trapper John, M.D. ep "A Piece of the Action" (1979) with LeVar Burton, and Burton appeared at the 5th Annual TV Land Awards (2007) with original Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner.
Coincidence, or conspiracy? ;-)

I always liked Ferrer, especially as the slimy yuppie who got what he deserved in Robocop. Never noticed him in STIII, we'll have to look for him next time.

GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just a TV show!.... You've turned an enjoyable little job, that I did as a lark for a few years, into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME! -- William Shatner on Saturday Night Live (1986)
