Cary Anderson, the writer of “Chad and the Alien Toupee” recently emailed to let us know that his short film contained, not one…but TWO Trek actors. Both Robert Picardo (Voyager) and Tim Russ (Voyager) are featured in this comedy about a suave special agent and his quest to save Earth from the grips of and evil hair piece.

This short film contains plenty of humor, camp and nostalgic movie throw backs. It was released in 2009 and is available to watch here, or embedded below. And, honestly…where else are you going to see Tuvok and The Doctor discuss world annihilation with a living extraterrestrial rug?

Voyager’s own EMH, Robert Picardo, is slated to make a guest appearance on the upcoming season of “Stargate Universe”. For those of you who haven’t watched any of the Stargate iterations, Bob is no stranger to the series. He’s played character Richard Woolsey in both SG-1 and Atlantis for 10+ years. We were particularly pleased, when in his second episode on Atlantis, they made (what we choose to believe was) a tribute to The Doctor. At the end of a group meeting scene, nearby automated doors respond for everyone leaving except Woolsey (Picardo), leaving him comically trapped and alone in the conference room. Thanks to whoever came up with that bit. We really enjoyed the throw back to Voyager. No news yet on the episode release date, we’ll keep you posted.

Our favorite holographic doctor and omnipotent mischievous being are set to host a concert series in the Great White North (yes, everything we know about Canada we learned from Bob & Doug McKenzie).  The Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony series called "Star Trek: The Music" is marked to play June 2nd & 3rd with after parties following both performances.  Tickets start at $25 Canadian.  

Selections will include the theme from the original series, the theme from Voyager, the Klingon battle theme, selections of James Horner’s scores from The Wrath of Khan and more – highlights from the abundance of music accompanying five series and eleven feature films.

This week, Trekcast offers something very special... An interview with ultimately human holographic doctor from Star Trek: Voyager; Robert Picardo.
