16: Hilary Shepard, Lauren from Star Trek DS9 "Statistical Probabilities" & "Chrysalis"

Hilary Shepard has terrorized teens with attitudes, did aerobics with Bea Arthur & Betty White, and tried to seduce Starfleet officers, among other accomplishments through her diverse career. "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" fans will remember her as ensign Hoya from "The Ship," and her two appearances as Lauren, the lusty genetically enhanced genius from "Statistical Probabilities" and "Chrysalis," but many fans like myself know her best as the evil Divatox from "Power Rangers Turbo"! We talk about dancing with Alexander Siddig and singing with The Jack Pack, how she got the role and what inspired her performance, and being directed by Anson Williams AKA Pottsy from "Happy Days"! Plus, memories of her all-girl band "American Girls," working with young Johnny Depp in one of his earliest roles "Private Resort," being an aerobics instructor on "The Golden Girls" and hanging out with Jon Stamos on "Full House," being an evil villain in a Meatloaf music video, grinding on Steve Carrell in "The 40-Year Old Virgin", and making board games with her BFF Daryl Hannah. And of course, some talk about arguably her most famous role as DIvatox in "Power Rangers Turbo" and a strange connection with Brad Pitt's first movie role (that Hilary was a part of) and Power Rangers!

15: Scott Hensey on Sculpting 90's "Star Trek" Figures

One of the main reasons I became such a big Star Trek lover was because of the action figures, and I had the pleasure of talking to one of the people whose hands were responsible for making those toys. Scott Hensey began working on the Playmates Star Trek series on day one, sculpting the first wave of figures in 1992 and remained crafting them until the end of the line. Scott explains the ins and outs of making Trek toys as well as other properties he worked on, and answers fan-submitted questions like why the figures were posed oddly, why Riker's shirt was torn up, which figures he always wanted to make but never could, and much more. Plus, what happened when WWF wrestlers got their hands on his LJN prototypes, what Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones said about their "Men In Black" figures, and stories about working on TMNT, Toxic Crusaders, Earthworm Jim, Skeleton Warriors, The Coneheads and other toy lines!

Today's guest is only one degree of separation away from Patrick Stewart, and Kermit, the Frog! Juliana Donald got her start in Hollywood with a major role in "The Muppets Take Manhattan." She followed it up with appearances in many other shows and films en route to appearing three times in the Star Trek universe.Juliana first appeared in the season three episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" titled "A Matter of Perspective," and followed it up a few years later in the third season "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode where she seductively rubbed Quark's ears in "Prophet Motive."

13: Garth Pillsbury

At 82 years old, today's guest on "Trek Untold" proves that age is just a number as long as you keep learning and growing. A classically trained actor, Garth Pillsbury appeared in two episodes of the original Star Trek series, "Mirror, Mirror" and "The Cloud Minders". Beyond Trek, Pillsbury went on to appear in cult hits and exploitation films, eventually discovering photography and cinematography which put him down new career paths.We discuss why William Shatner didn't want him “punching” him during a scene, working on "Beyond The Valley of The Dolls" with Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert, fixing up Marlon Brando’s house, hanging out with Robert Mitchum at a party, appearing in one of Kevin Costner’s earliest movies as a lead in “Stacy’s Knights”, becoming a professional photographer with pics in Playboy and Penthouse, his advice to aspiring actors, and more.Don't forget to subscribe to the show and leave a rating if you like us!Follow Trek Untold on Social Media -Facebook.com/TrekUntoldTwitter.com/TrekUntoldInstagram.com/TrekUntoldSupport Trek Untold by checking out our merchandise at https://teespring.com/stores/trekuntold or become a Patreon at Patreon.com/TrekUntold.“Trek Untold” is sponsored by Triple-Fiction Productions, a US-based company that 3-D prints Trek-inspired prop replicas for fan films and cosplayers, as well as accessories and playsets for all iterations of Trek figures through the years.

12: Walker Brandt, Cadet Jean Hajar in Star Trek TNG

Walker Brandt fought through a troubled childhood to get on the road towards some amazing experiences thanks to her acting career, and today she shares many of these entertaining and life-changing stories with us. Walker appeared in the fifth season TNG episode titled "The First Duty", playing the role of Cadet Jean Hajar in the first episode to take us to Starfleet Academy. In this episode, she shared the screen with Patrick Stewart, Wil Wheaton, and Robert Duncan McNeill before he played Tom Paris on "Star Trek Voyager", while her crewmates stand trial for an accident gone horribly wrong where the students must decide what is more important - their careers or the truth. We discuss why Walker felt a personal connection to Cadet Hajar and how that affected her portrayal of the character, watching cartoons with Wil Wheaton, and other memories from her time in the Star Trek universe. Plus, what she learned about acting from Uta Hagen, Larry Moss, and Bruno Kirby, working with Jake Gyllenhaal and Billy Crystal in “City Slickers”, meeting Nelson Mandela with Martin Sheen in Africa and touring Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall while working on a German TV show, and being a part of the final season of Beverly Hills 90210.

11: Carl Held

It's always a special day when we have the opportunity to chat with an actor from the original Star Trek series, especially one with a resume like today's guest. Carl Held appeared in the first season episode "The Return of The Archons" as Lt. Lindstrom, a character with a decent amount of screen time, but whose face was covered up by Shatner in most scenes, and whose sub-plot was completely eliminated from the final cut. You can bet we get to the bottom of why that happened! Growing up during the Great Depression and serving in the US military, his first big stage performance in the late 1950s, where he met his wife and fellow Trek Alumni Sarah Marshall and some actor you may have heard of - William Shatner - who he understudied for. He also explains why he believes his casting in the episode was a mistake by Gene Roddenberry, and why so many of his scenes were cut from the episode. Plus, getting a ride home from Deforest Kelley and being beaned in the head by a rock in the show! Plus, what he learned from Raymond Burr on "Perry Mason," his appearance on the original Outer Limits with Martin Landau and Shirley Knight, sharing the stage with Patrick Stewart in repertory with the Royal Shakespeare Company of London, working with Sean Connery in a James Bond movie, his appearance on the "Incredible Hulk" TV show, the mystery behind his many screen-names including Christopher Held and Carl Byrd, his favorite experience filming a movie, and much more! At 88 years of age, Carl Held is still just as sharp as ever and has a lot of great stories to tell about his life and career. Don't forget to subscribe to the show and leave a rating if you like us!

She's also been on DS9 and Voyager as different alien species. There are a handful of actors like Tracee who made a career of being in the background of the Enterprise, and she has many tales to tell of her time on set. Plus, meeting Sharon Stone while dressed as an Antican, walking the streets of LA as a Ferengi, The infamous Riker chase blooper, doing a fight scene with Pamela Anderson, and being in a Snoop Dogg music video!

09: Propmaker Michael Moore on Making "Star Trek" Movie Props

The technology of Star Trek is one of the most fascinating parts of the shows, but since we live in the 21st century, creating futuristic tech still requires contemporary methods. Today we speak with Master Propmaker Michael Moore, who has been building props for Hollywood for decades. In this episode, Michael talks to us exclusively about his work on Star Trek movie props, which he began as an assistant during the fourth TOS movie, and continued to work on through all of the four TNG films and the first JJ Abrams movie. Michael explains how he became interested in making props and how he turned his passion into his profession, how you define a prop when it comes to Star Trek, stories about pieces from the TOS and TNG movies including Spock's anti-gravity boots, phasers, commbadges, tricorders, borg technology, what was his worst day on set, and much more. Plus, how 3-D printing and COVID-19 has changed the landscape for prop making!

08: Spencer Garrett, Simon Tarses from Star Trek TNG "The Drumhead"

When we talk about character actors, we are talking about the working backbone of the TV & film industry. Today, we are joined by the highly prolific Spencer Garrett, who holds over 200 acting credits to his name on a resume that continues to grow each day. One of Spencer's first roles was actually his appearance on TNG in the episode "The Drumhead," where he played Crewman Tarses in a very memorable episode. We discuss acting with Patrick Stewart, Jean Simmons, being directed by Jonathan Frakes, wearing the pointy ears, and what was cut from the episode. He followed that up years later as a Starfleet hologram named Weiss in the VOY two-parter "Flesh & Blood," where we chat about working with Robert Picardo and Jeffrey Yagher, the surreal set filled with tons of aliens, and how sick he became from filming the opening scene of that episode. Plus, growing up in a Hollywood house as a third-generation actor, his family connection to Star Trek, more Angela Lansbury stories, working with Robert Duvall, being impaled by a Christmas tree on "Supernatural," sharing the screen with Brad Pitt & Leonardo DiCaprio in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood," becoming Sean Hannity in "Bombshell," the fun pandemic project Spencer and his actor friends are working on during their quarantine lockdown, and more!

06: Tim Storms - Patrick Stewart's Stunt Double

Today's guest is an invisible warrior who you have seen on-screen plenty of times, but rarely his face. Tim Storms is a stunt performer who appeared in several episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise," but you may remember his most recent work as Sir Patrick Stewart's stunt double in "Star Trek: Picard." Storms has been doubling for Picard since 2015, first on "Blunt Talk" and then following him to "Logan" before joining him once more for Picard. As we learn today, Storms actually met Stewart in his very first professional stunt gig on the set of Mel Brooks' "Robin Hood: Men in Tights!" We learn about how Tim went from gymnastics to stunts, his first gig, training Laurence Fishburne for "The Matrix," kicking Scott Bakula for real on "Enterprise," and how the costumes and make-up made his stunts harder to do. Plus, hanging around with Hugh Jackman on "Logan," trying to stop Patrick Stewart from attempting his own stunts, surviving that big explosion from the pilot episode of "Picard," and his best advice for aspiring stunt performers.

05: Iona Morris

How many actors can say they appeared on TOS and VOY? Not many and today's guest is one of them. Iona Morris is the daughter of "Mission Impossible" star Greg Morris, and that led her to her acting debut on the TOS season one episode, "Miri." From there, acting would take a backseat to other things, but all roads eventually led back to performing in front of a lens, and Iona would make her return to Trek in the VOY two-parter "Workforce" over 30 years after her first appearance. We discuss being cast in these roles, what it was like on the set of TOS and how William Shatner was with kids, the on-screen moment from that episode that wasn't acting, sharing the screen with Robert Duncan McNeill in VOY, and what went wrong during her performance in that episode. Plus, Iona talks about her enormous voiceover career in anime before it was in the mainstream, becoming the voice of Storm on the X-Men animated series from the 90s, being directed by horror icon Wes Craven, the valuable lesson she learned from Angela Lansbury on "Murder, She Wrote," acting on "Moesha" and "Homeboys in Outer Space," and being a part of the hit ABC series "Blackish."

04: Deborah May Takes The Lead

Sometimes, being typecast in Hollywood means being stuck in an unsavory role that you don't want to do. For some lucky people, they find amazing roles in the same vein, and Deborah May is one of those actresses who has had the joy of playing a strong female protagonist in much of her work. On today's episode, we talk about how Deborah went from beauty pageant queen to actress, and how that road led her to two appearances on Star Trek series - First, her role as Haneek in the haunting DS9 episode "Sanctuary," and then as the matriarch Lyris in the VOY episode "Favorite Son." We discuss being cast in these roles, the differences between performing with Avery Brooks and Kate Mulgrew, her on-screen rapport with Nana Visitor, and working with her friend Rene Auberjonois. We also hear about how Deborah was ALMOST Captain Janeway in Voyager, and what Kate had to say to Deborah when she found out. Plus, working with Betty White on "The Golden Girls" and Patty Duke in her autobiographical movie "Call Me Anna," Patrick Fabian, who would go on to be in "Better Call Saul," and playing another powerful female leader as Natania on "The Walking Dead."

If you watched "Discovery," you've seen this week's guest a few times - you just didn't know you were looking at him! Harry Judge has played multiple Tellarites in the first season of Disco under heavy prosthetics, including Admiral Gorch and Tevrin Krit. Our interview with him turned into a true master class of how to perform a role while completely covered up and weighed down by crazy costumes and make-up! Harry talks about growing up in Canada, and how he became a Shakespearean trained actor, leading up to his roles in Star Trek. We chat the process of being suited up as an alien, what they don't tell you about wearing prosthetics, meeting Doug Jones, how to become a Tellarite and his process to transform into character, and working with Rainn Wilson on the Short Trek episode, "The Escape Artist." It's a very in-depth discussion that is an amazing resource for anyone interested in acting!

02: Ursaline Bryant

Ursaline Bryant played Captain Tryla Scott in TNG, a character who was the fastest officer promoted to captain in Starfleet history. You may remember her from the controversial season one episode, "Conspiracy," which is also one of the oddest entries in the entire Trek series. Ursaline chats with us about her work before and after her time on Trek, what it was like working with Patrick Stewart and Jonathan Frakes, taking her own fall from a phaser blast, eating from a cup of "worms," and being a part of Star Trek history. Plus, being locked in a jail cell as a prostitute with "The Golden Girls," working with Redd Foxx, being trained by the legendary Mildred Burke to have an intense pro wrestling match in "All The Marbles" with Peter Falk, not breaking character on "Seinfeld," and her dramatic roles in "Flood Streets" with Harry Shearer, her love of Billie Holiday, and - who is Calafia?

01: Kaitlin Hopkins

In our debut episode of "Trek Untold," we chat with a person who knows a few things about dealing with Starfleet, whether it's peaceful negotiations or straight-up scamming them! Kaitlin Hopkins appeared in DS9 and Voyager in two memorable episodes, but beyond that, she has appeared in many other TV shows, movies, and theatrical productions. We take a deep dive into her past to discuss growing up around Hollywood and the theater world, and what led her into acting. From there, we learn about her roles in Trek as the Vorta alien Kilana in the DS9 episode "The Ship" and Dala the grifter in the VOY episode "Live fast and Prosper," her on-screen rapport with Avery Brooks, the differences between the two sets and acting with Brooks and Kate Mulgrew, Jem'Hadar soldiers passing out from the California sun, and the deleted scene from her VOY episode that she wishes was kept in. Plus, working with Angela Lansbury on "Murder, She Wrote," Dick Van Dyke on "Diagnosis Murder," and Jane Seymour on "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman," being in the bizarre off-Broadway musical "Bat Boy" and how she met her husband there, becoming head of the musical theater department at Texas State, and her advice for aspiring actors.
