Space Oddities / November 8 2007
An actor friend of mine has been telling me that he has a part as a ‘background Vulcan’ in the new Star Trek movie.
According to him, his odd appearance gave producers the idea to hold open casting sessions for people with ‘unique’ features to appear as extras in the film. The studio said it was interested in people with distinctive characteristics like ‘long necks, small heads, bug eyes, large foreheads and oversized ears’. It sounds like a cost-cutting exercise to me - they are probably trying to save on the make-up.
I rang Nelson first thing this morning. ‘You should have a go, Nel,’ I joked. ‘I’m sure you’ll get a part.’
He put the phone down on me. Women!

In truth I’d love to be in the new Star Trek film. That short dress, black tights and boot combo, as worn by the female yeomen in the original series, is very fetching.

You just put me off my breakfast, Nelson.
