I mean, every Star Trek episode you saw was just phenomenal.

Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.

I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.
