00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.200
- I auditioned for "Star Trek,"

2
00:00:01.200 --> 00:00:03.600
and Avery Brooks played the lead in it.

3
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:05.580
Even though I did meet
the producers later on

4
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:07.830
who said they regretted
not giving me the part,

5
00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:10.796
which is always something
you don't wanna hear,

6
00:00:10.796 --> 00:00:12.900
(chuckles) as if it makes you feel better.

7
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:14.339
Like, thanks a lot.

8
00:00:14.339 --> 00:00:17.820
But one thing I remember
about that audition is,

9
00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:20.220
I audition, I thought it went very well,

10
00:00:20.220 --> 00:00:22.687
and then they, I got a note
from the producer saying,

11
00:00:22.687 --> 00:00:24.510
"We want Ernie to come back.

12
00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:28.830
For this time, tell him to be sexier."

13
00:00:28.830 --> 00:00:30.390
Now, I don't know what to do with that.

14
00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.850
Sexier? What, what?

15
00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:34.284
As opposed to?

16
00:00:34.284 --> 00:00:38.631
So, I went in and I kinda
turned my collar up like,

17
00:00:38.631 --> 00:00:41.204
you know, this sort of Elvis
thing, and I was kinda...

18
00:00:41.204 --> 00:00:43.344
And in the middle of
the monologue they said,

19
00:00:43.344 --> 00:00:46.260
"Please stop. Thank you."

20
00:00:46.260 --> 00:00:47.820
And I knew it wasn't happening.

21
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.830
I loved "Star Trek,"

22
00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:51.930
especially because it kinda gave a glimpse

23
00:00:51.930 --> 00:00:53.550
into what was possible.

24
00:00:53.550 --> 00:00:56.220
I think a lot of the, you
know, when I see cell phones,

25
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:58.639
I think all that is from sci-fi,

26
00:00:58.639 --> 00:01:01.260
you know, it really
sparks the imagination.

27
00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:05.010
And I think it just started people to

28
00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:07.500
thinking in different way, you know,

29
00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:10.489
not assuming that there are no answers,

30
00:01:10.489 --> 00:01:13.872
but really looking to get answers.

31
00:01:13.872 --> 00:01:16.740

00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:20.370
