Beginning with the episode “Enemy:Starfleet,” actor Brandon Stacy will assume the role of Mr Spock in the fan series Star Trek Phase II. Here are excerpts of an interview posted on their official site.
Jeff Hayes (JH): How did you come to be involved with Star Trek: Phase II?
Brandon Stacy: James and I met at Paramount Studios, on set of JJ Abrams’ STAR TREK. I expressed interest in New Voyages/Phase II. We stayed in touch and I had intended on being a guest star of an episode. Eventually the role Spock opened up, he thought I would be perfect.
JH: Well, the fact is, you actually played Spock
before – what can you tell us about your experience on the Star Trek
(XI) movie set?
Brandon: Yes, for about four months I was fortunate
enough to be on set with JJ Abrams, doubling for Spock and standing in
for my long lost brother, Zachary Quinto. Incredible experience working
with JJ. What a fantastic cast and crew!
JH: Now back to your role as Spock in Phase II – when you first arrived on set in New York, what were your first impressions?
Brandon: I sensed an immediate sense of family. I was welcomed with open arms. Walking onto the bridge gave me a big silly smile.
JH: Now that you have a few days of filming under your belt, what are your thoughts about the production?
Brandon: Everyone really enjoys what they are doing
here, which makes for a very fun, relaxed atmosphere. The sets are
great. Crew is efficient. Playing make-believe on a starship is fun.
(Smiles)
JH: Have you seen any of the previous New Voyages / Phase II episodes? What did you think about what you saw?
