Frequently asked questions

One of the best things about the internet is that it allows us to meet people from all over the globe.

These answers are only for informational purposes. They are no substitute for an interview and are not press material to be quoted directly in a publication without permission.

It was inspirational, although I never found time to engage as much with other sci-fi ventures, even all the newer Star Trek series that followed.
