Miguel Ferrer Talks The Search for Spock and Battlestar Galactica

Features

By GustavoLeao / 12:53, 7 February 2008 / General Star Trek

The latest issue of SFX Magazine, out in the UK, features an interview with Bionic Woman actor Miguel Ferrer, who plays Jonas Bledsoe, the industrialist who owns the technology that reconfigures Jaime Sommers into the new Bionic Woman. Here are few excerpts from the interview. 

The actor remembers his first science-fiction role, when he played the original first officer of the U.S.S. Excelsior in Star Trek III The Search for Spock.

"Star Trek III The Search for Spock" he laughs "It was such a thrill to do that, because I was such a fan of the show when I was a kid. I got to put on a Star Trek uniform. I was just amazing."

A science fiction fan himself, Ferrer said that he decided to join the Bionic Woman cast because of producer David Eick. "I got a call from my agent. He said 'There is this thing they are doing called Bionic Woman' I said 'Stop. It sounds horrendous. No. Forget it. I've just come off of six years of Crossing Jordan. I'm not doing stupid Bionic Woman'. He said 'No, no, no, It's not what you think it is. It's not silly. It's dark. It's nasty. It's by David Eick, the same guy who revamped Battlestar Galactica. He is the executive producer'.

"I don't know if you've watched any of those shows, " says Ferrer of Galactica "but it's phenomenal TV taken from a pretty silly franchise. So I said, 'Well, let's look at it' I read it and I thought it was terrific, and I signed on."
