Hello Karim,
eventually you will go onto Fan Conventions. Have your costars given any words of advice how to navigate real world fan interactions?
Please ask Robert Picardo about his experience at Dragon Con. Had a great chat with him about his voice work when I met him. Would love to have you come someday and hang at the Pulse Bar!!!
Yes! Robert Picardo and Michael Dorn have expressed how lovely and friendly the star trek fanbase is. Tawny Newsome said the same thing. I’m excited to dive in. the internet is cool but I’d really love to meet more of you in person.
Here is a selfie with Tawny and Eugene at Dragon Con a few years ago.
It’s one of the few cons celebs can party in anonymity or not. We just want to party with all our fellow geeks, nerds, and fans! Its a whole different vibe from SDCC
Aw, the camera messed up your face. At least it got them right. 😉

Hi Karim! It’s amazing to have you here answering our questions! You interact so much with the fans, and it’s amazing to see a community be created in real time through your interactions with us. I’m loving your preformance as Jay-Den, cementing him as one of my favorite Trek characters of all time. I’ve got a serious and a silly question!
- Jay-Den breaks some serious barriers in his character arc. How similar are you to Jay-Den at the core, and is there anything from your own life that you translated into Jay-Den?
- If you were in the Star Trek universe, what would your position in Starfleet be? Would you choose to be in Starfleet, or pick to explore something else? Basically, tell us about your Star Trek self-insert character, if you’ve thought of one! Thanks so much for reading and answering our questions! Can’t wait for next week’s episode too!! LLAP!
jay-den and I are very similar. i think we both act VERY differently than how we look or are expected to be. i am a soft, gentle man and I believe that translates to Jay-den.
if i was in star trek personally, i would not be in starfleet. i would be an entertainer of some sort, on stage, or maybe in bartender on the ship
What franchise you’d love to be in? Airing or otherwise.
i wanna work with James Gunn real bad lol. I think I’d do a phenomenal job at playing Cyborg, i hear they are making a new teen titans movie. BUT i grew up on Marvel, i am a HUGE x men nerd. I would take ANY role in the new x men universe. I’ve watched all the movies multiple times, watched all the cartoons, x men 97 is one of my favorite shows on television, read the comics… like… IM PREPARED!! I hope my time in the star trek universe primes me to become a bad ass superhero in the future
Oh my gosh! Welcome to the Fediverse!
We’re kind of obsessed with Star Trek here.
Um…I don’t have a question. It’s just so cool to see you here. And since Academy is relatively new, I should add welcome to the Trek fandom!
I hope our appreciation for your art shines through!
Where you a Trekkie before you got the role? If so, what’s your favorite show/movie?
Is this the thread for questions?
What actor from Trek’s past, that primarily wore lots of makeup and prosthetics, do you look up at as a acting role model?
This is the thread for questions!
Hello Karim! How does it feel to be the first (or at least one of the first) celebrities to do an AMA on Lemmy?
looooool! It’s an honor!! 🖖
Sorry I’m late guys, i’m locked in now! About to go crazy responding to all these questions lol
Don’t misunderstand me, I’m incredibly excited that you’re doing this AMA on the 'verse, but I’m curious why you chose this over reddit?
also: Are you going to play the voyager game that was released today?
why not? What are you trying to say about the 'verse?! are you not worthy?! I think this community is cool af!
As for the game, with my shooting schedule i have zero time for games, but i might in the future
In episode ‘2F09’, when Itchy plays Scratchy’s skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something?
Let me ask you a question. Why would someone wearing a shirt that says “Genius At Work” spend all his time watching a childrens TV show?
Do you like cats?
tbh no
