The first company to tackle Star Trek action figures was Mego Toys, innovating new designs and production methods that kept their products affordable while creating enduring memories. However, despite their huge success with Star Trek, things behind the scenes with the company slowly fell apart. Paul Clarke, better known to toy collectors as Dr. Mego, visits the show to discuss the origin story of Mego Toys, how its founder, Marty Abrams, began to pick up licensed properties before other companies, making "World's Greatest Superheroes" figures with both Marvel and DC Comics characters, his road to Star Trek in the 1970s through "Planet of The Apes," and the secrets behind their Trek toys, including whether the figures were based on TOS or the animated series, how the playsets were made, and the answers to unsolved Trek toy mysteries.
Plus, the controversial circumstances that caused Mego to shut down in 1982, how they resurrected the company in 2018, the true story of why Mego didn't make "Star Wars" action figures, how Marty helped bring Transformers to America, why Trek toys are so hard to sell in 2024 and what Playmates did wrong with their most recent attempt, and what the future holds for Mego in 2024 and beyond.

Christine Harnos played Tessa Omond in the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "Timeless," which is notable for being the 100th episode of the series. Harnos joins Trek Untold to discuss her role in Trek, along with more from her life and career, and why she always follows her heart to guide her every step of the way.
Christine talks about going from modeling into acting, booking her first gig in the unusual Disney film about teens rescuing Navy SEALs aptly titled "The Rescue," playing Kaye Faulkner in "Dazed and Confused," her seven-year stint on ER as Jennifer Greene alongside show-husband Anthony Edwards, an obscure 80s comedy called "Cold Dog Soup" with an unbelievable underhanded backstory, and being part of controversial animation legend Ralph Bakshi's only live-action directorial film, "Cool and The Crazy."
From there, we beam into our Trek talk to discuss "Timeless," including working with Garrett Wang, Robert Picardo, and Robert Beltran (who she performed with before this episode), being directed by Levar Burton, the challenges of her role and character, and what she recalls from the experience.

Paul Eiding played Ambassador Loquel on the seventh season Star Trek TNG episode, "Liaisons," but if you grew up in the 80s and 90s, you know him better as Perceptor from "Transformers," Colonel Roy Campbell in the Metal Gear Solid video game series, and Grandpa Max Tennyson in "Ben 10," among hundreds of other voiceover roles in cartoons, anime, and games. Besides telling us about his time in Trek, Paul explains how his time in the army led him towards acting, being a clown and improv performer, what he learned from Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop, and how a chance meeting with Gordon Hunt changed the course of his career and brought him into the world of animation. Plus, his time with Betty White on "The Golden Girls," "Martial Law" with Sammo Hung, delivering the line in the 1986 Transformers movie that broke a generation of kids' hearts, his unusual time working on the "Toxic Crusaders" cartoon, the most meaningful role he ever played, and performing with Anna Nicole Smith in "Skyscraper.

Brian Markinson is a veteran performer who can boast multiple Star Trek roles on top of his already crowded resume. Trekkies know him as Vorin from Star Trek TNG "Homeworld," then an appearance as Lt. Durst in VOY "Cathexis" and "Faces," the latter of which he did double duty as the mad Vidiian scientist Sulan. Finally, he wrapped up his time in the cosmos on DS9 in the fifth season episode "In The Cards" as the wacky Dr. Elias Giger.
Besides telling stories about his time on Trek, Markinson explains how he transitioned from theatre into TV and film, how that led to working on "Angels in America" on HBO with Al Pacino and Patrick Wilson, his unique "X-Files" episodes, "12 Rounds Reloaded" with WWE superstar with Randy Orton, working with Woody Allen and Wallace Shawn, and much more in this frenetic chat with a highly talented actor who has seen and done it all.

Daphne Ashbrook had a very memorable appearance on the Star Trek DS9 episode, "Melora," playing the titular character in an episode that examined physical disabilities through a 90's sci-fi lens. Today, the episode is still discussed and debated, and this ensign's actress is ready to explain her side of the story, as well as tales from other productions ranging from modern films, period pieces, and a few things timey-wimey.
Daphne tells us about wearing the Elaysian makeup and body prosthetics, navigating the tricky sets in an electric wheelchair, flying in the air on wires while kissing Alexander Siddig, and her take on the plot and intentions of "Melora," and how she views it through a modern perspective. Plus, her secret audition for a Star Trek movie, working with David Hasselhoff on "Knight Rider," the incredible stunts she did on an obscure made-for-TV movie, her trio of “Murder, She Wrote” appearances loaded with Star Trek alumni (as well as Florence Henderson), and behind-the-scenes stories from her starring role in the American “Doctor Who” movie with Paul McGann.

While his time on-screen might have been brief, Vadia Potenza is one of the few actors to play Spock in Star Trek history. Today, his journey through Hollywood brought him to a different profession that can make or break a film or TV show.
Potenza is best known to Trekkies as one of the young Spocks in "Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock," and has fond memories of meeting and being directed by Leonard Nimoy, working with Robin Curtis and Lee Remmick, and what it was like to become a Vulcan. We also learn about some of his childhood gigs, including "Father Dowling Mysteries," why he moved away from performing, where life took him as an adult in directing and editing, and a second chance at playing Spock in an unexpected film.
Plus, being a production assistant with Jim Henson's studio for the Muppets, stories from BET's "The Iron Ring" MMA reality tv show, editing A&E biography documentaries, and his job today working with Karamu Brown.

Deborah Strang's life journey took her from rural Virginia near the Appalachian Mountains to the stages of New York, regional theater across the United States, and finally arriving in Hollywood.
Trekkies remember Strang from her role as Admiral T'Lara in the fourth season "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" episode, "Rules of Engagement," but her career has some other Trek connections, too. We learn about her origins in the performing arts and the tools she picked up along the way; one of the most valuable lessons on acting she learned from her first TV gig, working with Scott Bacula on "Quantum Leap," and Pedro Pascal on "Touched by An Angel" in one of his earliest roles (ages before becoming Din Djarin in "The Mandalorian") and being part of the DC and Marvel Comics animated universes.
Today, Deborah is a resident artist at "A Noise Within," a theater company in California that she's been involved with for decades and continues to perform with today. Over the years, Strang has learned tons of things about her craft, and she shares many of those important ones with us on this episode of Trek Untold.
Watch Deborah Strang perform in George Bernard Shaw's "Misalliance" at A Noise Within Theater in Pasadena, CA, from May 12 through June 9. Tickets are available now at www.anoisewithin.org

At nearly 80 years old, Castulo Guerra is more energized than ever about acting. Originally born in Argentina, his life changed when a classic movie was filmed in his small town, setting him on a journey that brought him onto stages across the United States. Today, he tells us his motivating and inspirational life story and perspective on acting!
Trekkies know Guerra as Seth Mendoza in the 3rd season "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode, "The Price," but he's a veteran of stage and screen with endless stories to tell about his decades-spanning career that includes James Cameron's "Terminator 2," "The A-Team," and working with young up-and-comers like Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washinton, and Raul Julia before they made it big. Guerra is an actor who began his career when Hollywood had no idea what to do with a Latino performer, and today, he continues to perform in a world that is at last ready to hear stories from this segment of underrepresented artists.

Lee Arenberg has worked in Hollywood for a long time, so of course he crossed paths with Star Trek eventually. This veteran appeared five times in four different series, including playing Ferengis in DS9 and TNG, a Malon in VOY, and a Tellarite ambassador in a two-parter on Enterprise.
Arenberg has loads of great stories to tell about his time on those Star Trek sets, as well as discussing some of his most famous roles beyond Trek, including his appearances on "Seinfeld," and his enduring role as Pintel in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

In honor of the late Leonard Nimoy, Star Trek historian and Nimoy archivist Bonnie Moss visits Trek Untold to tell us about the man behind the pointy ears. We get the inside story of Nimoy's life beyond Star Trek, discussing his passion for photography and the arts, reading some of Nimoy's poetry (and how that reflected his worldview), his opinion on The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, the feud between Nimoy and Shatner, what Nimoy thought of the longevity of Star Trek and Trekkies, and what his final days were like.
Bonnie is a lifelong Trekkie, and also tells us about the evolution of the fandom from its beginnings to where it is now in the internet age, why Star Trek was so important to her as a child, how a particular episode of the original series influenced her choice of profession, what happened to the original fandom when Star Trek was canceled after its third season, and more!

Kay Bess has been working in the voiceover industry for many decades and crossed paths with the Star Trek universe in a very special way as the voice of La Sirena's computer on "Star Trek: Picard." A Trekkie who fell in love with the franchise later in life, Kay tells stories about her unique audition, recording her lines during a global pandemic, and how she got a grip on the infamous technobabble she had to say in every episode.
Besides being La Sirena, you've also heard Kay in video games and animation, including The Last of Us II, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Mass Effect: Andromeda, Agents of MAYHEM, Skylanders: Super Chargers, State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, Final Fantasy XV, Fallout 76, The Loud House, Spirit Riding Free, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.

William Sadler is known to Star Trek fans for his time on Deep Space Nine as Luther Sloan, a member of a mysterious group within Starfleet called Section 31. Through three episodes, Sloan introduced viewers to this clandestine organization that left a huge mark on the franchise. But, the actor who played this character is just as impactful.
Sadler talks to us about growing up in Upstate New York and becoming an actor, what he learned at Cornell University, playing Julius Caesar in The Bard’s famous play on Broadway alongside Denzel Washington, and breaking down how to keep the works of Shakespeare fresh as an actor. From there, we deep dive into Sloan and Section 31, memories from playing the part, and what made this Machiavellian character so important to DS9 and Star Trek as a whole.
We also discuss some of his other notable works like his time as Heywood in “The Shawshank Redemption,” Colonel Stuart in “Die Hard 2” and his infamous nude scene, and playing The Grim Reaper in “Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey.”
