It always takes awhile to find out who the characters are.

I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with a team.

The only other series I worked on a regular basis was Benson, and that was a sitcom, so there really wasn't a chance to go deeply into the characters.

I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science.

I worked with my son when he was much younger; we did L.A. Law together, where I played his father and he played a kid who was suing his father for alienation of affection or something. It was great.

I did a voice for Odo, but people don't recognize you by your voice.

So, yes, the five years that we've been working on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has evidenced a real deepening of all the characters, not only mine.
