The Faster Times posted a new interview with Star Trek Enterprise star Scott Bakula and here are excerpts.
J: Do you ever worry that because of "Quantum Leap" and because of "Enterprise" you get pigeon-holed as a sci-fi guy? Or do you not worry because you've done other roles?
SB: I've done so many other roles. That's why I wasn't afraid to do "Enterprise." Because I've mixed so many other things in. and "Men of a Certain Age" is so far from any sci-fi. In fact, Andre is like "I need to find some sci-fi! I haven't done any sci-fi yet! I want to do some sci-fi!" I've certainly turned down a lot of sci-fi that's come my way just because I want to role from one to another. I like sci-fi. I can't deny it. And when a good script comes my way, I can't deny it. I never would have done Star Trek except the franchise was allowing me to be the first captain.
J: You come before Kirk.
SB: That's right. So, it's not like I'm following all of these other people. I get to start it. I love that notion. The sci-fi has brought me a lot of great stuff. I love it, but at the same time I make sure I don't do it any other jobs.
J: Now you have kind of a trio of geek-chic roles with Chuck. What is it about those kind of Comic-Con crowds that engenders such passion in these kind of roles? People debate them, talk about them...
SB: Science fiction generally grabs you because it captures your imagination. It makes you dream. It makes you think outside the box. It attracts someone who's inclined to do it. It attracts a certain level of intelligence because it requires some sort of understanding, some research. I think that when you combine that kind of passion and imagination and intelligence, if the science fiction is right, then it stays with you. The science fiction that I loved when I was a kid, I love it today. Ray Bradbury - that kind of stuff - stays with me. There's this kind of relationship that develops that's a give and take. The demand that the audience wants - they want you to be good, they expect you to be correct, and not screw with them and how they believe things are going to go, and if deliver that then they're there.
