In the decorated annals of Star Trek memes, few are as strong and enduring as the sex-candle ghost from the seventh season TNG episode "Sub Rosa." In this episode, we are honored to have that spirit take physical form, as we speak with the actor who brought Ronin to life, Duncan Regehr.
While many fans know him best from TNG, he was also Shakaar in three episodes of Star Trek DS9. We discuss both of those roles, including his thoughts on "Sub Rosa" and all of the memes, working with Gates McFadden and a take for that episode that was too hot for TV, acting with Nana Visitor, and why Shakaar didn't appear as much as he could have in the series, and much more.
We also discuss some of Duncan's other memorable roles, including Count Dracula in "The Monster Squad," playing Zorro with another Star Trek alumni Henry Darrow in the 90's Zorro TV show, his portrayal of Errol Flynn in "My Wicked, Wicked Ways," and much more.
In addition to being a classically-trained veteran actor, Duncan is also a writer, a poet, a painter, and so much more! We delve into the many passions of our guest and learn all about this very fascinating human being who is so much more than merely being the sex-candle ghost!

If you're ever on DS9 and need a place to wet your whistle, run – don't walk – to Quark's Bar! Today, we speak with Armin Shimerman, most famously known to Trek fans as Quark from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." He's here to answer fan-submitted questions and discuss his new book, "Illyria: Betrayal of Angels," the first in a historical-fiction trilogy starring a young William Shakespeare.
Armin, who is also an adjunct professor of Shakespeare, talks to us about the long process of writing this book and how to better understand the language of the writing from this era.
Armin tells us about his Star Trek: The Next Generation" debut, which was actually in "Haven" as the Betazoid Gift Box, and then discusses his first time as the Ferengi in "The Last Outpost." He has some big regrets about this appearance and tells us why he thinks he almost killed the Ferengi!
Armin breathed new life into the Ferengi years later when he played Quark on DS9 for seven seasons and shares some stories about his time on the promenade. We learn about wearing the makeup & prosthetics, why Quark never had a flange on the back of his head like other Ferengi, thoughts on his Playmates action figure and filming the TV commercial for those toys, and memories of his appearance on "Live with Regis & Kathie Lee" when he appeared live on their show in full makeup.
Plus, memories of Rene Auberjonois, his favorite guest stars, if the Ferengi were meant to be representations of the Jewish people, voicing Andrew Ryan in the "Bioshock" series, and working with Sammo Hung on "Martial Law"!

Lycia Naff is known best to Star Trek fans for her two appearances in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as Ensign Sonya Gomez from the second season episodes "Q Who" and "Samaritan Snare". Meant to be a love interest for Geordi LaForge, things didn't work out for Ensign Gomez after spilling her hot chocolate on Captain Picard. Lycia tells us the behind-the-scenes story about what happened to her character, and what happened to the third episode she was meant to appear in that would have changed Geordi's character. Plus, memories of seeing the Borg in their debut appearance, working with the cast & crew including having to spill hot liquids on Patrick Stewart, and why she believes Ensign Gomez never returned.
You may also recognize Lycia from her role in "Total Recall" as the three-breasted mutant hooker on Mars! Lycia recalls working with Paul Verhoeven and Arnold Schwarzenegger in this iconic and memorable role, with some happy stories and one "explosive" tale.
Lycia explains why she left acting and pursued journalism, leading to one of her biggest stories, when she broke news about the Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations. We talk about the investigation, and the fallout from this story, as well as how it changed the landscape of modern feminism.
Plus, horror stories of working with Debbie Allen on the "Fame" TV series, sharing the screen with Daryl Hannah in "Clan of The Cave Bear", and riding motorcycles & killing the undead in the B-movie "Chopper Chicks in Zombietown".

Comics and Star Trek have a long history together, one that continues to this day. Nearly every major comic company has held the license, from Marvel, DC, Malibu Comics, and today it resides under IDW Publishing. In this episode of "Trek Untold," we speak with the writer for the most recent Trek mini-series coming out that just came out this week, Dave Baker.
Dave is the writer of "Star Trek Voyager: Seven's Reckoning," drawn by Angel Hernandez and colored by Ronda Pattison. We discuss his history of comics, the road he took to become a professional writer, and his odd history of becoming a Star Trek fan. Baker talks us through his latest Trek comic, which is all about Seven of Nine, writing dialogue for familiar characters like Captain Janeway and Tuvok, creating new alien races, and working with CBS to have the comic approved. We also spend some time discussing his work for the "Star Trek Waypoint Special" in 2018, which features a story he wrote that was drawn by Nicole Goux.
Dave also tells us about some of his other comic work and an upcoming project you may be interested in, as well as some tips for how to break into the comic industry.
As a side note, this episode contains some language that may be harsh for some listeners; viewer discretion is advised.

It's time for me to turn into a fanboy on the show, and I hope the same happens to you when you listen to this interview with Max Grodénchik. You may remember Max best as Rom from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," the brother of Quark who rose up from being a bumbling buffoon into being married to the lovely Leeta, was the father of the first Ferengi in Starfleet, and ultimately became the Grand Nagus of Ferenginar!
Max is one of my favorite character actors of all time, and Rom is one of my favorite characters in all of Star Trek, so we talk in-depth about his experiences on DS9, including wearing the makeup, stories about Armin Shimerman & Aron Eisenberg, how he developed the voice and mannerisms of Rom, and Max even critiques my Rom voice!
Before DS9, Max played two other Ferengi in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in the episodes "Captain's Holiday" and "The Perfect Mate," and shares memories of working with Patrick Stewart and Famke Janssen, as well as his reaction to the first time he wore the Ferengi makeup.
Plus, working with Tiny Ron in "The Rocketeer" & Whoopi Goldberg in "Sister Act," thoughts on the Rom action figure from Playmates, baseball stories from "Take Me Out to the Holosuite," his deleted scene from "Star Trek: Insurrection," Max's singing career with "The Rat Pack" of Star Trek, and much more!

Sheila McCarthy is one of the best actresses you've likely never heard of - because most of her career has been in Canada! She's had plenty of prominent roles in the US too, and in 2019 she appeared in the second season episode of "Star Trek Discovery" titled "New Eden" as Amesha the All-Mother. In this episode, we discuss the secretive audition process for DISCO, working with Sonequa Martin-Green and Anson Mount, being directed by Jonathan Frakes, and other fond memories of acting in the episode.
We delve into Sheila's past, as she remembers what she learned under the tutelage of the legendary Uta Hagen, lessons from the Second City Improv Troupe and run-ins with John Candy and Robin Williams, her breakthrough role in "I've Heard the Mermaids Singing" and how it was interconnected to so many other roles in her career, including "Stepping Out" with Liza Minelli. Plus, Disney's "Paradise," screen-testing with Kevin Costner for "Field of Dreams," working with Bruce Willis in "Die Hard 2" and her latest popular role as Agnes in "The Umbrella Academy" on Netflix alongside Mary J. Blige and Cameron Britton.
And of course, we cover some Canadian shows like being on "The Littlest Hobo," "Emily of New Moon," and "Little Mosque on The Prairie," and stories from the stage like "Say Hello to Harvey" and a punk rock version of "Godspell."
