I went from high school to college, studied that in college, and then straight to the Middle East to work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>De Lancie rarely does conventions due to his schedule, but was able to meet up with his father for Wizard World Philly 2010. &#8220;I had an interview with the State Department in Washington, so I was there last week,&#8221; said de Lancie. &#8220;And then I was in the country and decided I&#8217;d come up and see, my parents were coming to the East Coast, so I figured I&#8217;d visit them. So really it&#8217;s sort of serendipitous that this happened at the same time and that I was in the country for it. So we came to do it together because we&#8217;re already together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Was his father relieved that de Lancie decided on a different career path than acting? &#8220;I think so, yes,&#8221; said de Lancie. &#8220;Very much.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <strong>DreadPirateRose<\/strong> for the tip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keegan de Lancie, son of John de Lancie (Q), made an appearance at Wizard World&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2406],"tags":[3284],"class_list":["post-9524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-voy","tag-keegan-de-lancie"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-voy\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: VOY<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: VOY","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9524"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9526,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9524\/revisions\/9526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
