TIM RUSS LE DEPOSITAIRE SERIES

I might have put a bug in their ear at the beginning of a season about something here and there. I have spoken to some of your costars and I know that some, like Robert Picardo, would pitch ideas to the writers for his character. Well, the pon farr stuff didn’t really have a large knowledge-base, so we had to make up a lot of things for that. We even explored things that we had to make up as we went along, because there was no precedent for them. We explored all those kinds of things, as we should to flesh out the character. The character was a father, he had a wife and children. They explored any number of scenarios for him, which I thought was pretty cool. Were you satisfied the way the writers handled Tuvok’s story and arc over the seven years of Voyager? So, I am glad it ended up the way it did. That kind of dialog doesn’t do anything for me. I would have not have been as impressed or enjoyed it as much. I am glad I didn’t get stuck with all that engineering tech talk. Yeah, I am actually glad I got the role as Tuvok over that one, because the role that I had was somewhat more organic and much easier in terms of dialog. Looking back, have you ever wondered “what if?” Have you ever thought about how you might have handled the role of Geordi, or are you happier you ended up cast as Tuvok?

But, they didn’t have all the characters in place yet and he did mention the series was coming and said if there was a role in there for me, he would love for me to come in and read for it.īut yeah, I did audition for all of those shows. At the time the producer told me they were developing a series that was going to be called Voyager. Did you know you were being considered for the Voyager role when you did Generations? You had guest roles on both TNG and DS9, and then again for Generations. They did end up hiring you a few times before Voyager. He was the only well-known name from the States that was in that series, that is one of reasons they brought him in. At the time I wasn’t aware that LeVar Burton was also up for it. I went in to read for it once or twice and I subsequently went in to read for the doctor’s role in Deep Space Nine and then eventually Voyager. Your connection with Star Trek goes back to 1987 when you auditioned for the role of Geordi La Forge for The Next Generation. Happy with Tuvok’s journey on Star Trek: Voyager With the release of the new sci-fi dramedy series Personal Space ( on Amazon now), TrekMovie decided to catch up with the actor to talk about his time with Trek on (and before) Voyager, the new show Personal Space and his other projects. Tim Russ spent seven years in the Delta Quadrant as Tuvok on Star Trek : Voyager and has kept busy as an actor and director since the show wrapped up almost two decades ago.
