Doug Jones, Discovery Deux
A second shot of Doug Jone from the Star Trek: Discovery Red Carpet (blue though it was)- honestly, I’m posting this because the movie he starred in, THE SHAPE OF WATER, just won for Best Picture at the 2018 Academy Awards a few hours ago… And even though he let his hair grow out, seeing him on stage with everyone gave me a shot of joy.
Hells, still tickled I got to work with him before…
LeVar and the Rhino
Shortly after publishing the children’s book, The Rhino Who Swallowed a Storm, LeVar Burton had a read-along and question/answer session at the Barnes and Noble in The Grove in Los Angeles. This picture is from that read-along; and I’ll be honest, its hard to get better than the man behind The Reading Rainbow himself narrating a book he wrote, (especially when he’s such a fixture in so many shows I like as well).
Sidenote- the book is fantastic, and helps kids understand some of the painful feelings that are a part of life- highly recommended!!
Doug Jones, Discovered
Continuing on with the Star Trek: Discovery premiere Red (BLUE) Carpet, we have Doug Jones- a fantastic actor who always is in heavy make-up; you’ve probably seen him several times and didn’t know it because, well, you rarely see his face. In Discovery, he plays Lt. Saru- so, again, under the prosthetics. And yet again, he knocks it out of the park.
(Side note- I had the pleasure to work with him in The Guild- friendliest guy, and his hugs are fantastic…)
Discovery Has Landed – Sasha-Michael
Last Tuesday, the new Star Trek series, Discovery, had a red carpet event at the Arclight in Hollywood. The cast of Star Trek: Discovery was there, as were numerous other ST alums; and yours truly was also on hand to get some shots from a fairly unique vantage, (I know, because there weren’t many people where I was =p)
Let’s start with Sonequa Martin-Green, late of The Walking Dead (remember how Sasha suddenly got a death wish…?), now taking off to the stars…
Walter Koenig- Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame
Here we have Walter Koenig, who is best know for his portrayal of Pavel Chekov in Star Trek, (as well as PsiCop Alfred Bester on Babylon 5), receiving his star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. With its placement, the entire Star Trek main cast has stars on the WoH. Several Star Trek cast members, (such as George Takei (and his husband Brad) and the late Leonard Nimoy), were in attendance, as was a large group of press and fans. This shot was moments after the unveiling…

Zoë Saldaña at The Grove
During the great week of May 2013, was able to catch this snapshot of the luminous Zoë Saldaña while she was giving at interview to Extra TV at The Grove. Really, not much more to say about it, though it was fun to see this a couple of days before seeing the new Trek movie…
Just in case you don’t know who she is, the short version (via Wikipedia): Zoe Yadira Saldaña Nazario (pron.: /sælˈdænə/ sal-dan-ə; born June 19, 1978), known as Zoe Saldana or Zoë Saldaña, is an American actress.
