Several actors have made comments about potential cameos in the newest Star Trek<\/em> television series, which debuts in January.<\/p>\n

TV Guide<\/em> asked William Shatner<\/strong> if he would be open to appearing in the new show. “Leonard<\/strong> [Nimoy<\/strong>], my friend, did a cameo [in the new Star Trek<\/em> movies],” he said. “I said to him, ‘You know you’re old when you go back in time and you’re still old.’<\/p>\n

“It was a cameo, and I thought, ‘That’s a waste of time. He’s so talented. Why didn’t they do something more with him?’ So that’s the way I feel about that.”<\/p>\n

Shatner would only do a cameo, “if I were useful.”<\/p>\n

The Next Generation<\/em>‘s Brent Spiner<\/strong> admitted to discussing the new show with Bryan Fuller<\/strong> recently. “We talked about Discovery<\/em> and what his plans are for it,” said Spiner. “But I don’t know that it’s for me to divulge anything that he wants to do.<\/p>\n

“I’m not sure if I’d want to be a part of it, having done, at this point, one-hundred-and-eighty-some hours of Star Trek.<\/em> But I’d certainly like to work with Bryan Fuller.”<\/p>\n

Spiner is “optimistic about what Bryan\u2019s going to do with [the series]. Bryan comes at it from a completely different point of view than a lot of people who have created Star Trek<\/em> in the past, all of them being, by the way, very bright and creative people. Bryan comes from a much more emotional place, from the heart, really. And, at this point that’s a nice, refreshing way to go with it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
