In an interview with Gold Derby<\/em> while promoting Amazon<\/em>‘s The Boys<\/em>, a series about a group of vigilantes who fight abusive superheroes, Jack Quaid<\/strong> spoke about what to expect on Star Trek: Lower Decks<\/em>. On the new animated series, Quaid voices the character of Ensign Boimler.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know when it\u2019s coming out,” he said. Like everything else, the show is delayed by COVID-19, although it’s still expected out this year. “I know I’ve recorded most of my stuff for it but it’s a new Star Trek<\/em> show. It’s animated; it’s from Mike McMahan<\/strong>, who’s one of the writers on Rick and Morty<\/em> and he’s frickin’ hilarious. He has this Twitter<\/em> account basically, I think he still has it, where he’s just pitching new ideas for Next Generation<\/em> episodes constantly and he is just frickin hilarious and the show is super funny but it is definitely still Star Trek<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“If you are a huge Star Trek nerd.<\/em>..you’re gonna get a lot of the references and a lot of the deep cut jokes, but I think even if you’re new to it, I think it’s something really cool to introduce you to the Star Trek<\/em> universe as well. Me speaking personally, I didn’t know a ton about it when I got cast. I had seen the J.J. Abrams<\/strong> movies but now I’m into it. I’m watching Next Generation<\/em> now in quarantine ’cause I realized I have to do my research on this – this is like a world – and I’m loving it. I always considered myself a huge Star Wars<\/em> fan and now Star Trek<\/em>‘s coming up. They’re about equal now. It’s a super funny show. It is a comedy. It’s animated but it is definitely still Star Trek<\/em>, which is awesome.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
