GateWorld posted a new interview with Voyager actor Robert Picardo, in which he talks about the Star Trek and Stargate franchises. Here are few excerpts.
GW: Should the [Star Trek] franchise, God willing, ever return to the twenty-fourth century, would you like to go back to that character and spend more time with the Doctor in some capacity?
RP: I had a fun time. It was a great run. I think it's a great idea that J.J. Abrams is going to reboot the franchise. And I suspect the movie will be a great success because I think he's a very smart guy and an exciting director. So I think your question has already been rendered moot by that. That they are going to start over again, and they are going to be set in a different point and time.
Sure, it was great fun to play the character. It would be wonderful to kind of slip the shoes on again. But I don't see it happening. What they might do, if they start making Star Trek movie after Star Trek movie, is they might start stunt casting, in different ways, some of the familiar faces -- but probably playing different roles because of the different time frame.
I've been contacted by the "New Voyages" [fan film, now "Star Trek: Phase II"] crew. I thought the one with George Takei was just splendid. And they've asked to do one with me. My initial idea was to play a character who was virulently against the development of artificial intelligence -- sort of a religious or quasi-religious figure who felt that it was satanic or something like that. The anti-"Zimmerman." That's what I wanted to do.
GW: Like how Brent Spiner did on Enterprise ...
RP: Did he do the same thing? That's right. They told me that.
GW: He played Soong's ancestor.
RP: But I do think it will be interesting to see the franchise come back. And I think good science fiction just encourages people's appetites for more good science fiction. I don't really see a competition between the franchises. I know I'm the first [regular cast] actor to have one foot in each franchise, which I'm proud of.
I know this: It will mean I get a lot of offers to write my name on my face all over the world. [Laughter]
