Editor’s Log, Stardate 62805.4: Our own intrepid L.A. Editor Robert Fure recently beamed into a press event for the upcoming summer action film Star Trek, from director J.J. Abrams. While he was infiltrating this event, he found time to sit down with a few of the film’s stars. And over the course of the next few days, we will bring you these interviews in their full, video screen glory. Enjoy.

There is no more a feeling of “uh-oh” than being assigned to interview an actor and having the question “Who the fuck is Bruce Greenwood” pop into your head.  Luckily in the age of IMDb it only took a few seconds for me to realize “hey, I know that guy!” and whip up a few questions about his journey as Captain Pike, a character in Star Trek who has a short, rough history.  While many interviews sport some awkwardness, Bruce was easy to talk to despite the very long day he’d already been put through.  There is a minor spoiler in the interview, but it won’t ruin the experience of the movie at all though, so click play already!

    Sigh! Again, I have to hear how shocking it is that someone "knows" who BG is! I have been a fan since the 80's when I was a teen! Ever heard of St. Elsewhere? Nowhere Man? Bruce Greenwood is one of the most underappreciated actors ever! www.brucegreenwood.com (which is under construction at the moment) will tell you everything. There is even a huge mailing list and online chat group for him! Imagine! He was very good in "I'm not there" last year also! Too bad its taken the rest of the world THIS long to notice him! That all being said, this was a great interview! Thanks for taking the time to interview one of the best actors out there! The fact that he is Canadian is also a bonus!!!
  • I was sort of playing up the idea I didn't know who he was a bit. Bruce Greenwood is very recognizable and a great actor. Above that, he's a great person. I talked to him after he had already been in the interview chair nearly 7 hours - something that wears on most people after about 2. But he was great about it and stayed upbeat.
  • Fure, your arms are huge.

    Nice job.
  • Thanks on both counts.
