<v Garrett>Hi, My name is Garrett Wang.</v>

2
00:00:02.170 --> 00:00:03.820
I play Ensign Harry Kim

3
00:00:03.820 --> 00:00:07.420
on Star Trek Voyager the fourth installment

4
00:00:07.420 --> 00:00:09.170
of the Star Trek Television series.

5
00:00:11.140 --> 00:00:12.820
Coming Home from school

6
00:00:12.820 --> 00:00:15.870
and watching the reruns of the original series

7
00:00:15.870 --> 00:00:18.670
was my first, although I've been informed by my mother

8
00:00:18.670 --> 00:00:21.510
that when she was pregnant with me in her belly,

9
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:25.810
the only show she watched in 1967 was

10
00:00:25.810 --> 00:00:27.280
the original series Star Trek.

11
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:29.530
So I thought that was kind of interesting.

12
00:00:29.530 --> 00:00:32.280
From set, every time I walked under the bridge

13
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.650
from day 1 to final season seven

14
00:00:35.650 --> 00:00:36.960
the bridge was always something

15
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.820
that when you walked under that sound stage

16
00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:40.970
and you saw the bridge with all the lights

17
00:00:40.970 --> 00:00:42.720
and everything turned on,

18
00:00:42.720 --> 00:00:45.120
it truly would take your breath away so,

19
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:47.580
if I ever had to give a set tour to any friends that came by

20
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:50.510
I would show them engineering first, sick bay everything

21
00:00:50.510 --> 00:00:53.030
and save the bridge set for the very end ,

22
00:00:53.030 --> 00:00:55.710
so that would be the wow factor.

23
00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:58.920
In the 100th episode which is regarded as the best episode

24
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:00.410
of voyager, was called Timeless,

25
00:01:00.410 --> 00:01:03.036
it was a big Ensign Kim episode.

26
00:01:03.036 --> 00:01:06.030
<v Voice insert>I sent a message from the future</v>

27
00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:07.460
and changed the past

28
00:01:08.670 --> 00:01:11.460
then that future will no longer exist right?

29
00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:14.460
<v Garrett>Probably the scene where Harry fixes everything</v>

30
00:01:14.460 --> 00:01:18.060
and he finds the right computations, he's like yeah.

31
00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:21.320
So director yells cut, Bob Picardo my fellow actor

32
00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:24.340
plays the doctor walks over, this is season five mind you

33
00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:27.780
and looks at me and says Garrett, you can act.

34
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:30.350
I'm like oh my god, it took you that long

35
00:01:30.350 --> 00:01:32.650
to figure that out ey it was yeah.

36
00:01:32.650 --> 00:01:34.780
So that's one of my more memorable scenes

37
00:01:34.780 --> 00:01:36.400
that I've done or moments.

38
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.120
It's interesting because when we were filming

39
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.820
whenever we were done filming and we would go to our trailer

40
00:01:43.820 --> 00:01:46.150
filming a particular scene, as we're heading to the trailer

41
00:01:46.150 --> 00:01:49.500
at the entrance or exit of the sound stage

42
00:01:49.500 --> 00:01:51.960
would be a security guard and a props person

43
00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:54.460
from the props department and as we're walking out

44
00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:57.050
they would stop us and say try quarter, okay

45
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.340
phaser, okay, combat hwwt.

46
00:02:00.340 --> 00:02:02.580
It was Velcro on both sides at hand.

47
00:02:02.580 --> 00:02:04.930
So they would take everything from us when we went

48
00:02:04.930 --> 00:02:07.400
to just have a break, it wasn't..we weren't done filming

49
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.670
they didn't trust us with it because The Next Gen guys

50
00:02:11.670 --> 00:02:13.450
made off with everything.

51
00:02:13.450 --> 00:02:16.910
So because of tng we couldn't take anything,

52
00:02:16.910 --> 00:02:19.690
and they took it all, I mean so literally

53
00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:22.290
I have tng to thank for that.

54
00:02:22.290 --> 00:02:24.310
At the end of the series we were allowed

55
00:02:24.310 --> 00:02:27.623
to take different things from the set if we could take it.

56
00:02:28.870 --> 00:02:32.310
I tried to take my operations communications station,

57
00:02:32.310 --> 00:02:35.500
the entire console until I realized it was too large

58
00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:37.610
to fit anywhere in my house, then I thought

59
00:02:37.610 --> 00:02:41.080
maybe a bar in my backyard and too heavy to move.

60
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.530
So I did take, if you see behind Kim the display

61
00:02:44.530 --> 00:02:46.510
I have the entire place galaxy display

62
00:02:46.510 --> 00:02:50.563
of the operations communications station so I do have that.
