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

TV and movie fans around the globe know about Leonard Nimoy, the actor, but few know about Leonard Nimoy, the parent. Adam Nimoy, son of the late Leonard Nimoy, delves into his difficult and tumultuous relationship with his famous father, as explored in his memoir "The Most Human: Reconciling with my Father, Leonard Nimoy." Adam talks about the duality of growing up admiring Leonard the actor versus his unhappiness with Leonard the dad, insight into who Leonard was when cameras weren't rolling, how the two reconciled and repaired their bond later in life, Nimoy's final days, Adam's battles with addiction and grief, and lessons learned through his journey. Plus, stories about the William Shatner and Nimoy feud, behind-the-scenes tales from Adam's time directing Star Trek TNG "Rascals" and "Timescape," the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, and directing his father in an episode of "The Outer Limits."

Paul Eiding played Ambassador Loquel on the seventh season Star Trek TNG episode, "Liaisons," but if you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you know him better as Perceptor from "Transformers," Colonel Roy Campbell in the Metal Gear Solid video game series, and Grandpa Max Tennyson in "Ben 10," among hundreds of other voiceover roles in cartoons, anime, and games. Besides telling us about his time in Trek, Paul explains how his time in the army led him towards acting, being a clown and improv performer, what he learned from Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop, and how a chance meeting with Gordon Hunt changed the course of his career and brought him into the world of animation. Plus, his time with Betty White on "The Golden Girls," "Martial Law" with Sammo Hung, delivering the line in the 1986 Transformers movie that broke a generation of kids' hearts, his unusual time working on the "Toxic Crusaders" cartoon, the most meaningful role he ever played, and performing with Anna Nicole Smith in "Skyscraper.

Brian Markinson is a veteran performer who can boast multiple Star Trek roles on top of his already crowded resume. Trekkies know him as Vorin from Star Trek TNG "Homeworld," then an appearance as Lt. Durst in VOY "Cathexis" and "Faces," the latter of which he did double duty as the mad Vidiian scientist Sulan. Finally, he wrapped up his time in the cosmos on DS9 in the fifth season episode "In The Cards" as the wacky Dr. Elias Giger.
Besides telling stories about his time on Trek, Markinson explains how he transitioned from theatre into TV and film, how that led to working on "Angels in America" on HBO with Al Pacino and Patrick Wilson, his unique "X-Files" episodes, "12 Rounds Reloaded" with WWE superstar with Randy Orton, working with Woody Allen and Wallace Shawn, and much more in this frenetic chat with a highly talented actor who has seen and done it all.

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. Check out Daphne's memoirs "Dead Woman Laughing” on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3y0ImWu

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.
