Mayim Bialik dressed up as several of the Star Trek characters throughout their years for CBS Watch Magazine and she revealed something about her castmates in this behind the scenes video. While she is a big fan of the Sci-Fi series, she said, “I think I might be the only cast member who has ever watched Star Trek or been to Star Trek movies.” Which is kind of a let down because they all seem to be big fans of Captain Kirk, Spock and their crew on the show. You kind of want the actors to feel the same way.
So why do the legendary franchise have such a big presence on the Emmy winning sitcom? She explained, “The Co-Creator of our show and Executive Producer, Bill Prady, is a tremendous, tremendous Star Trek fan. He said that his goal, in life, was to become famous so that he could write a show and have everyone from Star Trek guest star on it and we are pretty well on our way there.” So far there has been the late Leonard Nemoy, George Takei, Wil Wheaton, LeVar Burton and Geordi La Forge. Who says dreams don’t come true in Hollywood?
Back to Mayim dressing up as the crew of the USS Enterprise, she really looks spot on as the male characters. Who knew she had such masculine features? She also passes for the women, but it is remarkable how much she passes for Data et al.
