the

name.

They really reached for that.

They, in their wisdom, greenlit a pilot called Star Trek and another pilot called Mission Impossible and several other shows that were incredible shows but very costly.

And they told Lucille Ball that ultimately they greenlit the series for Star Trek that they would go bankrupt, which kind of happened.

which is why they had to sell the studio to Paramount Pictures.

But Lucille Ball, in her wisdom, infinite wisdom in her vision, saw that this was a show that really could not be denied.

What do you think would delight him or disappoint him? about where we're at today in the world in 2026? What do you think he'd be happy about?

That's why I say some of the greatest talent I've worked with are voiceover actors because they have less of that

that... to, to draw on in the moment where they're standing behind the mic.

So it's all from here, and it's all from here, and it's all from my fellow actor, and my director, and, and the writer, and whoever's there to, to help me make this as concrete as possible.

I did, um, Young Justice the, their last season, and I played Lor-Zod and, and General Zod, both the father and the son.

I never thought about that.

'Cause the worst thing, the worst thing of all for an actor standing in the booth is, you know, you do this great performance thing, and then there's just, like, there's people behind the glass.

You can't hear them, and there's going, "Yep.

Yep.

It has a lot of weight to it.

Well, you know, T- Tom and I talk about the, the acting thing all the time.

Um, as young actors, we think we need to do a lot, right? We need to show, show things and, "This is what I'm doing.

This is, I'm j- I'm mad, I'm, I'm upset, I'm whatever." I mean, w- uh, at least I did.

I felt like I had to reveal and present, um, what I was feeling inside, uh, or else it would be missed, yeah? Um, and then I started to really work, whether it was on stage or in class, and I, then I did a soap for a while, and that really shows you a lot about, about where you can and where you can't go.

Um, and so I've developed this over the years.

It didn't come to me immediately.

Yes.
