Rick Berman Looking to Bring Shatner and Other Previous TREK Actors, Characters Onboard ENT

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 14:40, 27 June 2004 / Enterprise

Producer Rick Berman tells readers in the latest issue of Starburst magazine that season four of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE may get an extra boost from past series actors and characters. On top of his and producer Brannon Braga's list: William Shatner.

"Bill luckily has landed a wonderful role on the new David Kelley spin-off of THE PRACTICE, but Brannon and I have plans within the next few weeks of sitting down with Bill and discussing some possible ways of his being involved in this season of ENTERPRISE," he says in excerpts at The Great Link. "That was one of a number interesting bits that will be hopefully coming in the next little while of both actors and characters from earlier series who we're finding logical and entertaining ways of getting involved this season."

Berman points out that several shows such as JAG and THE X-FILES have found success on Friday nights, ENTERPRISE's new location this upcoming season, and he is confident that the show's fans will tune in.

"I think that our fans consider ENTERPRISE appointment viewing and I think that they will seek the show out and I think they will find it," he says. "And to not be up against SMALLVILLE and AMERICAN IDOL makes me very happy and makes me think we might be able to pull in some new viewers or get back some of the fans who might have strayed."

The exec also talks the threat of cancellation, season three's creative "edge" and the twisting finale "Zero Hour" in the full interview. Additional excerpts are available here.

Do you wish that he could go back to the Nexus?

No need. The BBK Trailer used the nexus, but that is just one way to do it. It's not needed. Nor is his return to the nexus. By a happy ending, Kirk needs to be ALIVE, off to the next adventure, riding off into the sunset. He doesn't stay in the 22nd century, and he sure as hell doesn't get killed again.
