Moviefone posted a new interview with Star Trek actor Faran Tahir (Captain Robau) and here are excerpts.
Your character is killed pretty quickly in 'Star Trek.' Were you disappointed you didn't get more screen time?
I grew up with 'Star Trek,' so to get to do anything in it was fun for me. You have to look at what impact your character is going to have on the story. My thinking was that because it sets the mood for the entire saga, it was worth doing and was going to have an impact. So it's 10 minutes, but it's a good 10 minutes [laughs].
Did you lobby for more time?
[Director] J.J. [Abrams] and I keep joking about that. I've done four things for him and every single thing I do for him, I die. It's like, "What the heck is your problem? Do you just not want me on Earth?" His last e-mail to me was, "I promise you the next time, you are not going to beepin' die."
When you were a kid, was it your dream to be in a 'Star Trek' movie?
Yeah, I think every kid who watched 'Star Trek' had that dream. It was such a feast for your imagination. You can identify with it on both your geeky and intellectual level. I got on the bridge [on set] and the first seven minutes, I was in awe. It was like, "This is my ship!" [Laughs] You have to learn to settle down and get to work.
How conscious were the cast and crew of balancing the expectations of hardcore fans with the casual moviegoer?
J.J. had an uphill task: He knew the Trekkies would judge it by a certain standard. But there hasn't been a 'Star Trek' movie or television series in years, so there's a generation that hasn't grown up with it. It was about, how do we hook them in? J.J. wanted them to be able to own the saga for their own and not what their older brother or father had told them.
The full interview is here.
