• Jack Donner (Sub-Commander Tal in 'The Enterprise Incident') recently spoke to Jeff Y. at Trek5.com about auditioning for 'Star Trek: Nemesis.' Here's an extract from the article:

For years strong rumors have circulated that the top brass, except in few cases, have been loath to bring back guests from the original series for whatever reasons. I can't confirm any of it."
