Actor Brad William Henke Confirms Young Jim Kirk Family Rumors - Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 22:38, 13 September 2008 / Feature Films

In a new interview with Collider, actor Brad William Henke confirmed the rumors (revealed by Enterprise actor Dominic Keating) that young James T. Kirk will have a "evil stepfather" (or uncle in this case) in the new Star Trek movie. Here are excerpts of the interview.

Question: How about telling us about Uncle Frank in Star Trek?

Brad William Henke: Am I allowed to do that?

 

You certainly are!

 

Brad William Henke: Am I going to get sued?

 

Not at all!

 

Brad William Henke: I play Captain Kirk's alcoholic, abusive uncle when he's a kid, and I treat him very badly, which forces him to go off and do what he does.

 

Does that inspire him to pause so awkwardly whenever he talks?

 

Brad William Henke: That's what Sam would do! No, I think that he doesn't do that now, for some reason. But it was fun, it was fun to play such a . . . asshole. You know, such a bad character.


The full interview is here.

Guilty Uncle? | Report this post to moderator

Did Frank leave Jim his farm in Idaho out of guilt for the abuse? Was Kirk such a ladies' man to help compensate for sexual abuse by Uncle Frank?

OK, j/k about the second part, only because Trek, even Abrams' Trek I'm guessing, wouldn't go there!
