And then I went off to do this film and my agent enounce , ‘ Do you want to go in for Star Trek again ? ’ And I said , ‘ Did n’t I already go in ? ’ I did n’t get the part . I did n’t think I was any in force . And they said , ‘ They desire you to go back in and audition for J.J. ’
I retrieve start in , and J.J. was really fun . And , you know , it ’s ridiculous . You ’re sitting , standing , acting in an power in Hollywood , and you ’re talking about phasers and thrusters , and the battlewagon ’s going down , and Klingons are come after you . It ’s acting with a capital A. J.J. ’s very giggly . He ’s very responsive . It ’s what an actor loves . We perform for people , and he ’s giving you a lot , veracious ?
So , I did that , and then I die out . And then he said , ‘ Spock ’s here . ’ The guy ’s who ’s playing Spock , who ’s Zachary Quinto . And I knew that Zach was Spock , and I ’d known Zach because we worked out at the same gym with the same trainer . Very Hollywood . Same dietician and acupuncturist .
Auditioning is very … I found it very fun . It ’s very disheartening . And you crop your direction up , and you ’re doing boob tube … And it ’s much more the case back then than it is now . Where it ’s like , to be in a film was a big F — ing sight .
