Josephmallozzi's Weblog posted a Q&A session with former Star Trek Voyager actor Robert Picardo, in which he answered fans questions about the Star Trek and Stargate franchises. Here are few excerpts.
Laura writes: "Do you have any thoughts/comments about the closure of Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas?"
RP: I do think it was unwise of whomever purchased the Vegas Hilton to decide to close this attraction only a few moments before the Star Trek franchise if about to be revitalized by the new J.J. Abrams film. I am especially delighted to report that we reference Star Trek: The Experience in an upcoming Stargate: Atlantis episode set in Vegas. Dr. Mckay's character points out that there's only one place an alien could easily get a job in Vegas and that's in Star Trek :The Experience. He of course gets a droll response from Richard Woolsey who happens to look more than little like that Doctor character from Star Trek.
Glenda writes: "Now that SGA is cancelled, will you be doing more convention appearances or will you be taking on more acting roles? What are your up in coming projects?"
RP: I will be doing two movies: a scifi creature flick called The Awakened and a horror movie with Joe Dante called The Hole. I also will be performing with The Dallas Symphony Orchestra in an evening of Star Trek movie music co-hosted by John Delancie. And I'm still doing post production on the first horror movie that I star in, Sensored. Check out the website, www.sensoredthemovie.com. I also have upcoming appearances in Bournemouth England, Bonn Germnay, and Sydney and Brisbane, Australia as well as a number of domestic ones.
Nicole Gustas writes: "Why did they drop the whole "naming the doctor" thing on Voyager?"
RP: To begin with, the reason that became a recurring joke is probably my fault. The show had not yet premiered and we were shooting episode 5, I believe, and I had a big scene where I confessed to Kes that I would like to have a name like any other crewmember I asked Rick Berman, our Exec Producer if they intended to list me as Dr. Zimmerman in the opening credits (as my character was listed as Dr. Zimmerman in all of the scripts thus far and in the series bible). He said "Of course." and I said "Well, if we're going a storyline where I'm hoping to get a name, doesn't this kill the suspense?" And he agreed and they changed my title credit to The Doctor. They enjoyed playing the character who couldn't decide on his own name for a number of years. I think the whole notion of an indecisive computer program is rather amusing. But like any joke that's played too often, it can get tiresome. So they basically dropped it except for a parting reference to it in our finale.
