00:05.200 --> 00:07.600
A lot of the relationships are

00:07.600 --> 00:08.500
you know

00:08.500 --> 00:10.900
are being developed as

00:10.900 --> 00:12.000
what

00:12.000 --> 00:14.900
the producers may see, you know happening between

00:14.900 --> 00:17.600
the actors and or what chemistry might be there.

00:17.600 --> 00:21.700
Will it rolls we fit into with each other?

00:21.700 --> 00:23.100
I've definitely

00:23.100 --> 00:26.100
like to explore, you know relationships with

00:26.100 --> 00:28.400
with the other cast members that I haven't had

00:28.400 --> 00:31.600
to have so many scenes with especially

00:31.600 --> 00:33.400
the Vulcan because I think being the only other

00:33.400 --> 00:34.600
female

00:34.600 --> 00:34.900
but

00:34.900 --> 00:37.400
Is very important to

00:37.400 --> 00:41.500
to establish relationship there and see

00:41.500 --> 00:46.500
and see how even though she is a Vulcan.

00:46.500 --> 00:51.800
She is female.

00:51.800 --> 00:53.500
It's

00:53.500 --> 00:54.000
so far.

00:54.000 --> 00:56.600
Most of my scenes have

00:56.600 --> 01:00.200
have been with the captain.

01:00.200 --> 01:02.000
He you know, he comes to get me from

01:02.000 --> 01:04.800
the Amazon University where I'm teaching and

01:04.800 --> 01:06.300
and often times

01:06.300 --> 01:07.300
he

01:07.300 --> 01:08.200
really

01:08.200 --> 01:10.500
takes me aside and

01:10.500 --> 01:12.800
and convinces me that I'm you know that I'm

01:12.800 --> 01:15.200
on the ship for a reason and that

01:15.200 --> 01:17.400
when I get scared and when I'm

01:17.400 --> 01:20.200
you know wanting to leave and and don't feel

01:20.200 --> 01:21.600
like I belong

01:21.600 --> 01:22.200
um,

01:22.200 --> 01:24.000
so there's definitely

01:24.000 --> 01:25.400
I really look up to him

01:25.400 --> 01:26.200
and

01:26.200 --> 01:28.100
he can a lot of respects looks out for

01:28.100 --> 01:29.300
me

01:29.300 --> 01:30.100
and

01:30.100 --> 01:33.100
and you know

01:33.100 --> 01:33.700
and takes

01:33.700 --> 01:40.300
and takes care

01:40.300 --> 01:42.100
Well, her

01:42.100 --> 01:45.900
role is XO languages Communications

01:45.900 --> 01:46.500
officer.

01:46.500 --> 01:50.400
She deals with translating alien languages and she had

01:50.400 --> 01:51.500
a

01:51.500 --> 01:53.900
she has a

01:53.900 --> 01:55.800
genius gift or anything for it.

01:55.800 --> 01:56.000
Yeah.

01:56.000 --> 01:57.200
She does

01:57.200 --> 01:59.300
she can

01:59.300 --> 02:00.400
she's in one episode.

02:00.400 --> 02:03.200
She learns in alien language never heard before and

02:03.200 --> 02:04.400
basically a day

02:04.400 --> 02:06.800
and has to I mean, she still falters,

02:06.800 --> 02:07.600
but she's

02:07.600 --> 02:08.900
she's

02:08.900 --> 02:09.600
Aware of

02:09.600 --> 02:13.500
syntax and you know the way the

02:13.500 --> 02:17.900
language grammatically works and and vocabulary.

02:17.900 --> 02:19.400
She's

02:19.400 --> 02:20.700
she's the youngest

02:20.700 --> 02:21.700
of

02:21.700 --> 02:22.200
the crow.

02:22.200 --> 02:23.400
She's

02:23.400 --> 02:26.400
not only in age but also in

02:26.400 --> 02:27.900
in temperament she's kind of

02:27.900 --> 02:29.300
some

02:29.300 --> 02:31.200
kind of spontaneous.

02:31.200 --> 02:33.300
She's very human,

02:33.300 --> 02:35.300
you know, she's very passionate about what she does

02:35.300 --> 02:36.800
she loves it

02:36.800 --> 02:39.200
and that kind of

02:39.200 --> 02:42.500
Conflicts against her fear of being out in space

02:42.500 --> 02:44.300
and not liking

02:44.300 --> 02:46.700
you know being chased by aliens and

02:46.700 --> 02:49.700
getting hit by

02:49.700 --> 02:51.700
phasers or you know, whatever.

02:51.700 --> 02:54.400
She's very

02:54.400 --> 02:56.300
she's very fearful of that,

02:56.300 --> 02:57.000
but

02:57.000 --> 03:00.300
she's on the ship for

03:00.300 --> 03:05.400
her intellect, really.

03:05.400 --> 03:06.200
No matter what.

03:06.200 --> 03:07.000
I do.

03:07.000 --> 03:08.400
I make a statement

03:08.400 --> 03:11.800
on the Asian American Community as as a performer

03:11.800 --> 03:12.400
and

03:12.400 --> 03:13.500
and I gladly

03:13.500 --> 03:14.400
take that,

03:14.400 --> 03:16.000
you know responsibility.

03:16.000 --> 03:17.900
I don't want it to be the total sum

03:17.900 --> 03:19.700
of who I am as an actor and take

03:19.700 --> 03:22.000
a political stand on everything that I do

03:22.000 --> 03:23.700
but I think the more and more

03:23.700 --> 03:27.000
audiences become familiar with seeing Asia basis on

03:27.000 --> 03:28.800
you know, the television screen

03:28.800 --> 03:30.700
the farther we can progress and everything has to

03:30.700 --> 03:32.000
be taken in

03:32.000 --> 03:33.000
in steps.
