Michelle Erica Green at Trekweb recently conducted an interview with Voyager ("Remember") and Enterprise ("The Seventh") guest star Bruce Davison. Below is a snippet:

How did you connect with Star Trek?

I ran into Rick Berman at an electronics store. I think I told him I'd love to do some, and that was back a ways. I did one for Voyager, worked with Patrick, and I've been friends with a number of people that have been on the show, LeVar [Burton] for one.

T'Pol recognizes you but she couldn't remember who you were--'Menos' is your name?

Yes, and you've met my brother Mas? Mas o menos! She's been hunting me for a long time. She's trying to track me down. She had a whole other life. This is some of Jolene [Blalock]'s best work, I think. She's got a tough row to hoe in that character, and she does really well, in the iambic pentameter of her character which can reveal so little emotion. It's tough work.

You get your pick of TV roles. Is Star Trek fun for you?

It's a hoot. It's just a lot of fun. I'd prefer not to have to wear a rubber head, but I'd do that too. They just did little nose things and ear things so far, which is great. I see what some of those people go through. Rene Auberjonois I've known from the stage for 30 years, and I remember the first season, he said, 'I'm having such a good time!' Then by the eighth season or whatever, sitting for five hours putting that rubber head on, between him and Armin Shimerman. He was always very positive -- he said, 'It's a good place to learn your lines, in the makeup chair for five hours every morning.'
