60 years of Star Trek – what stands out most in your memory working in Star Trek Picard?
Hi Bernd Nice to hear from you. Thank you for thinking of me. What stands out most for me about working on Star Trek Picard are a few things.
1. How much of a well oiled machine the production was.
2. Having a laugh with Patrick Stewart on set in between takes.
3. Getting to work with my friend and brother from another mother Jonathan Frakes.
4. Being able to be a part of a 60 year franchise as Commander Musa was definitely one of the coolest things I’ve done as an actor!
Hope that helps Best wishes Richard

60 years of Star Trek – what stands out most in your memory working in Star Trek Strange New Worlds?
Two things live distinctly in my memory from my brief but wonderful time working on SNW. First is how kind and lovely everyone was. I was very intimated going on set - it was surreal to work on a franchise I’d loved since childhood. But everyone was so nice and normal that I was immediately put at ease.
Second is the incredible care and love that goes into the show’s art direction. I expected a lot of the final product to be created on computers in post production - but everything actually looks like that on the day. The sets and costumes are truly that immersive. It makes the job that much easier.

Definitely getting to have a scene with Michelle Hurd. She was brilliant and watching her transform into Raffi was legendary.

How nice and welcoming Santiago Cabrera was! And we had fun. In the scene our characters were challenging each other…and then we as actors leaned into the dynamics and challenged each other as well. I had a blast.

My answer to your question is simply that my time on Star Trek allowed me to gain my record in the Guinness world record book for the most special effects makeup characters portrayed in a career. It was the faith of the production crew, director's, assistant directors, etc..... that allowed this for me , and I thank them..

60 years of Star Trek – what stands out most in your memory working in Star Trek Strange New Worlds as Ror'Queg?
What stands out is how big of fans the entire crew was of the Star Trek series. They kept asking me on set which generation of Klingon I would channel for my performance.
I didn’t really watch Star Trek before this point so I had to run the bathroom stall and watch a YouTube compilation on the evolution of Klingons throughout the different series
After this experience I went back and watched all of The Next Generation - and I absolutely loved it and understand the Trekky mania now.

60 years of Star Trek – what stands out most in your memory working in Star Trek Picard?
Well, what stands out the most in my memory is a kind moment from actor Rebecca Wisocky, who played Ramdha. It was a moment of actor-to-actor support, and I doubt she ever gave it a second thought, but it meant something to me. I was originally hired as a Borg, but that scene was cut. Then I was brought on as a Tal Shiar in “Broken Pieces”. I was a co-star, which usually means you have lines, so I was surprised to see in the script that I didn’t have any. (Don’t get me wrong- I was thrilled to be a part of it!) But I did have a cool moment after the Admonition, when- although the other characters were all killing themselves- my character was just badly injured and dragging herself away. So I thought “Cool! I’m a survivor!”
There was supposed to be coverage on me for that moment, and unfortunately as often happens on set, the day was running long, and we were going to run out of light and the director made the decision to cut the shot. Which of course was disappointing to me (again I don’t want to sound ungrateful, as I’m aware that the scene wasn’t about me, but of course you get your hopes up about shooting cool moments and disappointed when they get cut.) So I was wrapped to leave, and as I was heading out, Rebecca said “Wait - aren’t we still doing your close-ups?” And I responded “No, unfortunately they’ve been cut.” And she said “Oh…that’s really too bad. I was specifically watching you during the master shots and you were doing such nice work!”
So- that was a special little off-camera moment- that another actor in a larger role had specifically noticed my work, and was genuinely disappointed for me that I didn’t get to share it. It was really sweet of her and made me feel good. A cool character follow up: At the STLV convention last August, I was approached by a fan- and I’ve forgotten his name- I wish I could remember . His gaming group has created trading cards for the Tal Shiar. I DO have an official trading card where I’m listed as “Tal Shiar Woman” but HIS gaming group had actually given me a name. So… my character is fan-named “K’arden”. So, K’arden it is! And I believe that K’arden survives!

60 years of Star Trek—what stands out most about working on Picard?
The legacy. You feel it on set every day. There’s a strong sense that you’re contributing to something much bigger than yourself, and that’s not something every project gives you.

The one thing that stands out to me is the impact of the show and specifically my character on the personal lives of fans.
My playing a role, one of many in my career doesn’t automatically translate to having an impact on viewers, but it does. I’m some cases rescuing some fans from emotional collapse!’
