He runs the engineering
section of the ship
and he's from
from the south and he's
he's a little bit wary of
well aliens for one.
He's
he's got like a wry sense of humor to
so
he can be a little off-putting
but you can it likes to have a good
time,
you know,
and
the
Vulcans had somewhat of a
strained relationship at this point in our history with
them and
he
Can I really carries that
on his back? It's so that that's his chip
on his shoulder
and
that has a that makes the relationship with
Paul the Vulcan
complicated and fun to play,
but
he definitely is a little
Uncomfortable, maybe sometimes squeamish around the
our friends out there.
I've got the definitely got a relationship with Captain
Archer because I
he looks up and trip looks up to Captain
Archer.
She's known him for a long time this hand
by him to be on this Mission and
you know,
I hate to use the word like Mentor but
kind of
you know,
he's seen it all done it all with the
exception of this brand new thing and
I think trip definitely looks to the captain.
I watch the old one.
I watch the old Star Trek.
I didn't watch all of the Next Generation and
Deep Space Nine and Voyager
frankly.
I've seen one of these aliens myself.
So, you know, I'm coming across these people
on set and I'm like
Jesus look at you
so that easy to do you know
and
but there is I think ingrained in the show
itself a sense of
our and
and
you know that we're really taking on the mantle
of that we're on
you know a quest of Discovery
and
So yeah, that's who gets really easy to play
or it's really important to play her title in
the show.
I think it
it energizes it in a way that
the pun intended
that it energizes it in a way that
keeps it buoyant.
You know, there's no
we're not used to anything.
We're not used to our own ship.
So,
you know,
all we know is that we frankly don't know.
You got guns.
You got aliens.
You got a fast ship.
You don't know where you're going to go from
from day to day.
I mean, I
some other
shows have been a little Maybe.
They were always trying to get home
on Voyager.
We're not trying to get home.
We're just out to see what we can find.
You know, it's like a
it's a constant mystery.
And
for those that
everybody knows about Star Trek.
I mean, I think everybody knows about nobody knows
about the first one
and if you tell somebody that this is a
prequel to the first one.
It's nothing like you're going to have seen them
last few
series
that alone.
I think we'll get a lot of people just
to go
well
what's going on
and then if we're doing on our
Job,
which I hope and think that we are,
you know,
come on.
Let's go for a ride.
