16: Breaking Out Into Dance with Dr. McKennah
Michele Specht on Dr.
Elise McKennah.
One of the biggest is independent series around is Star Trek
Continues. The first three episodes have recaptured the look, the
feel, and the spirit of the original Star Trek with incredible
authenticity. But in the process of recreating the 1960s television
icon, Star Trek Continues hasn't shied away from addressing some of
the gaps in TOS.
For many, one of the most noticeable missing links in TOS is the
gender balance amongst the Enterprise crew. Star Trek Continues has
addressed this by bringing aboard a new character, Dr. Elise
McKennah, played by Michele Specht, who joins Uhura as a female
voice on the show. Additionally, Dr. McKennah brings a TNG element
to the 23rd century in the form of ship's counselor. While this may
ruffle the feathers of some purists, the results more than speak
for themselves.
In this episode of Continuing Mission we're joined by Michele to
talk about McKennah, how she approaches the role of a character
that, unlike her those played by her castmates, is unknown to fans,
and get a few behind-the-scenes tidbits. We also discuss her
training in music and theatre, her voice work for anime, and her
comedy background.
