Vic 17 Posted October 17, 2012 Star Trek: Enterprise‘s Connor Trinneer is in London for this weekend’s Destination Star Trek London convention, and he took time out to talk about playing Trip Tucker on the show. One of the things Trinneer liked best about working on Enterprise was the different challenges he faced as an actor in the show, and he preferred the later years of the show. “From an acting standpoint, I always think that the first and the fourth years, for me, were really satisfying,” he said. “I really loved doing all four years, though. The great thing about the show was that for me, for the actor, it threw out a bunch of different things that I was asked to do, and for the most part they were a lot of fun.” One of those “different things” happened in the early days of the show. “…In the third episode of our show I got pregnant,” said Trinneer. “That wasn’t even on my radar for attempts I thought I’d be making at acting. That was probably the top of the list. “But anytime you are thrown together with aliens, anything can happen. I did an episode [Dawn] where the other guy didn’t speak a word of English, he spoke an alien language – Gregg Henry, fantastic actor, played that part – so that was a fascinating acting challenge. It was great, but it was certainly unusual!” Trinneer preferred the first and last year because of what came his way, story-wise. “Usually I say that those years were great because I personally got a lot of storylines out of those particular years – episodes such as Shuttlepod One and Unexpected, and Similitude and Cogenitor later on,” he said. “Near the end, in the fourth year, I didn’t know that it was going to end, but the character arc for Trip really seemed to play out there in front of people, so that was a lot of fun to do – you get to use your acting chops.” View the full article Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
