The latest issue of SFX magazine, out in the UK, features a brief interview with actor Robert Picardo, best known to Star Trek fans for playing Starfleet's Emergency Medical Hologram, most notably The Doctor on Star Trek Voyager. Here are few excerpts of the interview.
Would you ever want to go back to the role of the Doctor ?
Picardo : As much fun as I had doing it, I think that my character being an artificial intelligence suffers from the same problem as Data - It doesn't really make sense to have a hologram with an older face, so I'm perfectly pleased to let it go. That doesn't mean that it wouldn't be fun to make an appearance in some future Star Trek as another character, and peharps even a character that referenced the Doctor.
Where do you think the Doctor would be now ?
Picardo : I used to joke that the Doctor and Neelix would open a gay bar in the Delta Quadrant, or that the Doctor and Seven of Nine would open a strip bar in the Beta Quadrant - we had just a million different answers because we got asked this all the time when the show was going off the air. I think if I take the question seriously the Doctor would have been perfectly delighted to be a lecturer at the Academy on medicine or medical ethics, and possibly even the study of holograms.
