15 Weird Early Gigs of 'Star Trek' Actors
Look, being honest, not every job you take is great. Especially those early ones. You’d probably feel pretty bad if your first underpaid job at 7/Eleven was on camera and everyone else could watch it. And no offense to you, but it’s not the most compelling television to watch you sit around behind a register waiting for the guy who comes to buy cigarettes at precisely the same time very day to show up. But then of course, you’re probably not a well-beloved millionaire. As we all know, not every role on the road to a successful acting career is a good one, and the magnanimous cast of science fiction’s premier franchise is no exception. So, let’s take a moment to bask in the weird mix of schadenfreude and nostalgia as we look at who the crew of the Enterprise was before they went where no one has gone before.
