David Warner Talks About Star Trek V, Star Trek VI and The Next Generation

Features

By GustavoLeao / 09:34, 5 December 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The Coventry Telegraph posted a new interview with veteran actor David Warner, who played St John Talbot in Star Trek V The Final Frontier, Chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country and Gul Madred in the TNG episodes "Chain of Command Part I and II" in Star Trek The Next Generation. Here is an excerpt from the article.

Warner has done a lot of sci-fi in the past including Time After Time, Time Bandits and "that sort of science-fantasy fiction", he admits.


"I did two Star Trek pictures with all the old geezers. And I did two episodes of The Next Generation with Patrick Stewart."


"So yes, I have a background in science fiction as an actor, but I have to be honest and say that sometimes I don't understand what people are talking about! It's almost a special kind of language, but you say it with as much conviction as you can and hope that people buy it.


"It's a wonderful way of making a living. But sometimes I have to ask what does it mean, all these silly things I'm talking about?


"But I've been beamed down, which was great - Star Trek 6 I think it was. I was beamed down onto the Enterprise. Fantastic. Not many people can say that."

The full interview is here.

He's also one of only a handful of actors to work on both Star Trek and the Doctor Who franchise, recording roles in numerous audio dramas for Big Finish (including playing an alternate universe version of the Doctor on a couple of occasions), and most recently he voiced a character in the BBC-produced animated Doctor Who special, Dreamland.

One of my favorite Star Trek guest stars ever. He was awesome as the Cardassian in the TNG two-parter, and very, very good in Star Trek V and VI. He is indeed a wonderful actor and I really love his acting.
