Trek Untold: The Star Trek Podcast That Goes Beyond The Stars‪!‬ Matthew Kaplowitz

Blu Del Barrio has played Ensign Adira Tal since the third season of "Star Trek: Discovery" and has learned a lot about who they are, thanks to working on the series. Blu talks to Trek Untold about their time aboard the starship, working with Ian Alexander, Tig Notaro, Wilson Cruz, and Anthony Rapp, how DSC helped them understand their gender identity, the Trill as a trans metaphor, why Star Trek has been and will always be a place of inclusion, their thoughts on the fan reaction from when their character came out as non-binary, what happened when they found out Season 5 would be the end of the series, and more in this deeply introspective chat.

Daphne Ashbrook had a very memorable appearance on the Star Trek DS9 episode, "Melora," playing the titular character in an episode that examined physical disabilities through a 90's sci-fi lens. Today, the episode is still discussed and debated, and this ensign's actress is ready to explain her side of the story, as well as tales from other productions ranging from modern films, period pieces, and a few things timey-wimey.
Daphne tells us about wearing the Elaysian makeup and body prosthetics, navigating the tricky sets in an electric wheelchair, flying in the air on wires while kissing Alexander Siddig, and her take on the plot and intentions of "Melora," and how she views it through a modern perspective. Plus, her secret audition for a Star Trek movie, working with David Hasselhoff on "Knight Rider," the incredible stunts she did on an obscure made-for-TV movie, her trio of “Murder, She Wrote” appearances loaded with Star Trek alumni (as well as Florence Henderson), and behind-the-scenes stories from her starring role in the American “Doctor Who” movie with Paul McGann.

While his time on-screen might have been brief, Vadia Potenza is one of the few actors to play Spock in Star Trek history. Today, his journey through Hollywood brought him to a different profession that can make or break a film or TV show.
Potenza is best known to Trekkies as one of the young Spocks in "Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock," and has fond memories of meeting and being directed by Leonard Nimoy, working with Robin Curtis and Lee Remmick, and what it was like to become a Vulcan. We also learn about some of his childhood gigs, including "Father Dowling Mysteries," why he moved away from performing, where life took him as an adult in directing and editing, and a second chance at playing Spock in an unexpected film.
Plus, being a production assistant with Jim Henson's studio for the Muppets, stories from BET's "The Iron Ring" MMA reality tv show, editing A&E biography documentaries, and his job today working with Karamu Brown.

Deborah Strang's life journey took her from rural Virginia near the Appalachian Mountains to the stages of New York, regional theater across the United States, and finally arriving in Hollywood.
Trekkies remember Strang from her role as Admiral T'Lara in the fourth season "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode, "Rules of Engagement," but her career has some other Trek connections, too. We learn about her origins in the performing arts and the tools she picked up along the way; one of the most valuable lessons on acting she learned from her first TV gig, working with Scott Bacula on "Quantum Leap," and Pedro Pascal on "Touched by An Angel" in one of his earliest roles (ages before becoming Din Djarin in "The Mandalorian") and being part of the DC and Marvel Comics animated universes.
Today, Deborah is a resident artist at "A Noise Within," a theater company in California that she's been involved with for decades and continues to perform with today. Over the years, Strang has learned tons of things about her craft, and she shares many of those important ones with us on this episode of Trek Untold.
Watch Deborah Strang perform in George Bernard Shaw's "Misalliance" at A Noise Within Theater in Pasadena, CA, from May 12 through June 9. Tickets are available now at www.anoisewithin.org

Natalija Nogulich may have played a stern character in Star Trek TNG and DS9 as Admiral Nechayev, but she's nothing like that in real life! Nogulich drops rank and tells us about the person beyond the command uniform, giving us an amazing life journey that brought this performer to all parts of stage and screen.
We learn about her time on the set of her Trek appearances, the real-life inspiration her character was based on, her relationship with Picard and if romance was in the cards, and long-term plans for the Admiral that never materialized. From a dancer to an actor, we also hear memories of her first film in "Stony Island," lessons from one of her acting teachers, William H. Macy, stories with Angela Lansbury from "Murder, She Wrote," her time as Berta in Netflix's "Fuller House," how she perfected the art of speaking in accents and more!
Meet Natalija and many other guests at Trek Long Island 2024 this summer in Hauppauge, NY, from May 31 to June 2, featuring celebrity guests from multiple eras of Star Trek shows, authors, artists, podcasters, and more in this epic event. Details on www.treklongisland.com

For three seasons, David Ajala played Cleveland Booker on "Star Trek: Discovery," a charming scoundrel who stole Michael Burnham's heart. Trek Untold chats with the equally charismatic actor to learn the inside scoop on Booker and what's been happening to him in Season 5, working with Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones, his thoughts on his powerful monologue from the end of Season 4, BIPOC representation in Star Trek, what happened when he found out this season of Discovery would be their last, and if he would ever want to be part of a Discovery movie.
NOTE: This interview was done in conjunction with Episode 6 of Season 7 of Season 5, and doesn't discuss plot elements beyond this point in the season
