Star Trek: Enterprise<\/em>‘s John Billingsley<\/strong> has joined the cast of Uncharted Regions<\/em>, a new radio drama.<\/p>\n

Uncharted Reason<\/em> is an anthology series of “weird tales spanning several genres.”<\/p>\n

Billingsley will appear in the Haven<\/em> episode as Dr. Jacobson. Jacobson is “a dying man seeking peace on a remote alien world, but who finds himself pursued by a relentless agent of revenge.”<\/p>\n

Jacobson is described as a “complex character,” and Billingsley was chosen to add a “mixture of gravitas, great intelligence and vulnerability to the role.”<\/p>\n

Billingsley spoke about radio, and the shows to which he and his family would listen when he was young. “Our family had one of those big old-fashioned speakers,” he said; “so it felt like I was really entering a time tunnel. The Shadow, Fibber McGee and Molly, Easy Aces, Doc Savage<\/em>, etc. I always loved the format and the era generally. Oh, how I wish I could rock a fedora.”<\/p>\n

Billingsley added that he “thought this would be a terrific chance to do something that one rarely gets a chance to do anymore.<\/p>\n

“We fat guys ain’t wanted on camera so much, and of course, the script itself appealed because of what it had to say about the nature of personal responsibility, dealing with a guilty conscience\u2013yadda, yadda, yadda. I wish more people these days had guilty consciences or just…consciences.”<\/p>\n

There is no release date, but once Season One production is finished, the writer\/producers Neal <\/strong>and Jana Hallford<\/strong> will seek to partner with PBS<\/em> or NPR<\/em>, and with an audiobook or audio drama publisher for a wider audience reach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
