I am Enterprise Crew in the new Star Trek movie
Yeah, really. No kidding.
We shot back in February, but I kept it quiet because Paramount wanted NO details to leak out while they were filming, so I waited till they were completely done to talk about it. Even now all I can really say is, I am in the film, and I am a blue shirt (science) Enterprise crew member. Who knows, you might not even be able to make me out in the film. But when it comes out, I’ll tell you what scene to look for. If, that is, you still are reading this blog. And I’m still posting it. And Hollywood hasn’t fallen into the sea due to a massive earthquake. Etc.
Look at this craptastic photoshop I did of me as a crew man. There’s no way we were allowed pictures on set, they even had us check in our phones.
If you didn’t know, this film is going to go back to Kirk’s academy days, and the original crew has been completely recast with younger actors. I’m telling you, Zachary Quinto makes an amazing Spock.

Yes, I’m only an extra, but I had a custom uniform tailored just for me and for one day, I was official crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Very, very cool! You didn’t get to keep the costume, did you?
Yeah right. Probably would go for a grand on ebay.
