MovieHole posted a new interview with Star Trek Enterprise star Scott Bakula (Captain Archer) and here are few excerpts.
Question: Now you're associated with two fairly iconic TV properties. There's a rumor that they're gonna try and reboot Quantum Leap.
Bakula: That's always out there. [LAUGHTER] That rumor's always out there.
Question: Would you like to see that happen?
Bakula: I think so. I mean, it would be fun. I would always - you know, you talk about this stuff, and you'd have to see how it would manifest, you know? In terms of a script. And - I always have joked that they'll do it, but it won't be with me and Dean, you know? Because that's just the way that Hollywood is. If they did a feature, they would recast it. And make it better.
Question: Like Star Trek.
Bakula: Yeah, but, you know, I've been able - I've been so fortunate to work in different mediums, in different types of genres within all of those mediums, and work with some wonderful people. And that's what I hope to keep doing. And as I get older, I'm hoping to do more and more stage. And that's really where I started, and where I go back to.
Question: How was it for you dealing with some of those hard core fans from both of those show? I mean, the Trekkies are a bunch unto themselves.
Bakula: Yeah. Well, you know, science fiction fans, if they love you, they're - you've got 'em.
Question: But God help you if they don't.
Bakula: Well, they let you know, you know? And they don't really - you know, they really don't hang around if they don't like you, because they're just - if they've - if you're in, you know, then you're in forever. And they're demanding fans. They expect that you be honest in your science fiction, and correct in your science fiction. And they expect you to be available, and a part of the world of science fiction. And they claim you. So, there's kind of a responsibility about that. But I knew that. I knew when I took Enterprise that I was perpetuating that. But they're loyal, and they ask you to be really good. And they really watch. And, you know, for a performer, that's - you can't really ask for more than that. They're not casual. They're intent. And you better have - you better not screw up your facts, your logic, they'll ring you up on that one. And so - you know, that's who you work for. We work for our fans, and for an audience. And so I love them. They've been great to me.
The full interview is here.
Plus, Bakula talks to Collider in a new video interview, regarding the reference to "Admiral Archer" in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. Here is an excerpt.
Bakula : Totally surprised by that, I didn't see it coming. I bouguth a ticket and saw the movie with my boys and-it was so fast to be quite honest-I wasn't sure that I heard it, because there was so much going on in that movie-great movie indecently, I thought they did a wonderful job-but I thought "did he just talk about my dog dying?" And the you are on to something else.
