WEBVTT 00:15.500 --> 00:17.700 In place for an eye. 00:17.700 --> 00:19.300 I certainly knew 00:19.300 --> 00:21.700 of the andorians from the 00:21.700 --> 00:23.300 original series because I'm 00:23.300 --> 00:23.900 a 00:23.900 --> 00:27.500 big fan of the original series, 00:27.500 --> 00:29.100 but but 00:29.100 --> 00:30.800 it's interesting in the original one. 00:30.800 --> 00:33.700 They were much more of 00:33.700 --> 00:37.100 you know, conniving kind of diplomats 00:37.100 --> 00:38.200 and the 00:38.200 --> 00:40.400 the 00:40.400 --> 00:44.600 script the first script the andorian incident that that 00:44.600 --> 00:45.500 I 00:45.500 --> 00:47.000 Given, 00:47.000 --> 00:47.900 you know 00:47.900 --> 00:50.500 those weren't really the colors 00:50.500 --> 00:52.500 for lack of a better word that they were 00:52.500 --> 00:54.000 going for. 00:54.000 --> 00:57.600 It was much more of 00:57.600 --> 01:02.800 you know, these were sort of rebellious 01:02.800 --> 01:06.700 downtrodden bitter 01:06.700 --> 01:08.200 Warriors 01:08.200 --> 01:10.900 who who felt that they had gotten the short 01:10.900 --> 01:12.300 end of the stick 01:12.300 --> 01:15.200 for a very long time and we're not very 01:15.200 --> 01:16.400 a happy about it. 01:16.400 --> 01:19.300 So I sort of 01:19.300 --> 01:21.600 sort of more pinned my 01:21.600 --> 01:22.300 my 01:22.300 --> 01:24.200 my 01:24.200 --> 01:28.900 my inspiration for the role on 01:28.900 --> 01:30.800 Jimmy Cagney. 01:30.800 --> 01:33.400 You know this these this little 01:33.400 --> 01:36.500 pugnacious. 01:36.500 --> 01:39.000 little guy that will not 01:39.000 --> 01:41.300 that will not 01:41.300 --> 01:41.900 hold 01:41.900 --> 01:44.800 that will not take it, you know and 01:44.800 --> 01:47.100 gives as good as he gets 01:47.100 --> 01:49.100 and 01:49.100 --> 01:53.500 so that's sort of where I went completely 01:53.500 --> 01:56.000 completely different really from the original 01:56.000 --> 01:59.000 there weren't that many episodes in the 01:59.000 --> 02:03.300 in the first in the original series to really 02:03.300 --> 02:04.600 and the makeup was 02:04.600 --> 02:07.700 really quite 02:07.700 --> 02:08.700 Fundamental 02:08.700 --> 02:10.000 in the first one. 02:10.000 --> 02:11.200 They've really 02:11.200 --> 02:14.300 made them quite cool now and 02:14.300 --> 02:15.800 they really just want to give them a real 02:15.800 --> 02:16.900 Edge 02:16.900 --> 02:20.900 really did. 02:20.900 --> 02:22.700 I have 02:22.700 --> 02:24.800 a puppeteer. 02:24.800 --> 02:26.800 I have a gentleman 02:26.800 --> 02:29.400 Paul Elliott is his name and he actually 02:29.400 --> 02:30.800 engineered and 02:30.800 --> 02:32.100 created 02:32.100 --> 02:33.300 the 02:33.300 --> 02:35.500 the apparatus 02:35.500 --> 02:36.500 and he 02:36.500 --> 02:40.700 he and I are worked very closely together. 02:40.700 --> 02:43.300 He'll watch the rehearsals. 02:43.300 --> 02:45.300 I will discuss with him, 02:45.300 --> 02:46.100 you know 02:46.100 --> 02:49.200 where I think maybe there is a 02:49.200 --> 02:50.600 reaction or 02:50.600 --> 02:51.400 A 02:51.400 --> 02:54.200 change of mood or a transition or 02:54.200 --> 02:56.200 and we've actually sort of worked out a little 02:56.200 --> 02:59.200 map of 02:59.200 --> 03:02.600 what forward and what back and what together means 03:02.600 --> 03:04.200 with the antenna. 03:04.200 --> 03:05.900 So 03:05.900 --> 03:11.100 he's great and I trust him implicitly 03:11.100 --> 03:13.500 most of the time I have no idea what's 03:13.500 --> 03:14.600 going on up there. 03:14.600 --> 03:16.200 I can hear a little 03:16.200 --> 03:18.100 Horrors and clicks, 03:18.100 --> 03:18.700 but 03:18.700 --> 03:22.800 for the most part I 03:22.800 --> 03:23.700 I just 03:23.700 --> 03:24.700 am not aware of them. 03:24.700 --> 03:27.300 I'm my thoughts are somewhere else. 03:27.300 --> 03:31.000 It's really kind of a surreal experience to 03:31.000 --> 03:34.000 it's something if synthetic and yet organic at the 03:34.000 --> 03:35.300 same time because 03:35.300 --> 03:38.100 they are in such sync with what I'm doing. 03:38.100 --> 03:40.900 It's almost like a nice Counterpoint. 03:40.900 --> 03:43.100 I can hear them. 03:43.100 --> 03:43.600 They help me. 03:43.600 --> 03:46.900 Sometimes I can hear them do something and I 03:46.900 --> 03:49.800 know that that's a 03:49.800 --> 03:51.800 Bit of a transition or 03:51.800 --> 03:52.800 they help me. 03:52.800 --> 03:54.700 Sometimes I don't have to do anything because they're 03:54.700 --> 03:56.200 my antennae are 03:56.200 --> 03:57.700 doing it for me 03:57.700 --> 04:00.300 forward is 04:00.300 --> 04:01.300 curious 04:01.300 --> 04:04.200 or 04:04.200 --> 04:07.300 trying to detect deception. 04:07.300 --> 04:10.000 We kind of thought that the antenna I actually 04:10.000 --> 04:11.400 since we're very 04:11.400 --> 04:14.000 distrustful 04:14.000 --> 04:16.000 aliens 04:16.000 --> 04:18.800 that we thought that these antennae I were. 04:18.800 --> 04:19.900 A 04:19.900 --> 04:22.000 very 04:22.000 --> 04:23.000 physical 04:23.000 --> 04:25.000 extension of that distrust. 04:25.000 --> 04:27.900 So they really do kind of pick up on 04:27.900 --> 04:29.500 on 04:29.500 --> 04:31.700 on 04:31.700 --> 04:33.500 what people are 04:33.500 --> 04:35.800 saying and what they really mean. 04:35.800 --> 04:38.500 So forward is kind of 04:38.500 --> 04:39.800 maybe I'm 04:39.800 --> 04:43.300 fine tuning in on whether or not I can 04:43.300 --> 04:45.600 really trust you or 04:45.600 --> 04:46.400 not 04:46.400 --> 04:47.300 back 04:47.300 --> 04:48.000 is 04:48.000 --> 04:48.700 back is 04:48.700 --> 04:49.500 Is 04:49.500 --> 04:51.400 not happy 04:51.400 --> 04:52.900 kind of like a 04:52.900 --> 04:54.600 kind of like a dog. 04:54.600 --> 04:56.300 The dog's tail is 04:56.300 --> 04:57.900 is 04:57.900 --> 05:00.000 is down, 05:00.000 --> 05:00.600 you know 05:00.600 --> 05:01.500 kind of look out.
