I've been getting a lot of science fiction scripts which contained variations on my 'Star Trek' character and I've been turning them down. I strongly feel that the next role I do, I should not be wearing spandex.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You don't need to wear Spanx if you buy my clothes. The dress, the trousers, the pencil skirt - they should do the work.
I'm a massive Trekkie. I've got original artwork from the '70s. I've got outfits. Yeah, I have actual 'Star Trek' outfits that I wear. I'm a massive, massive 'Star Trek' fan.
Hopefully I'm learning a lesson from every new thing I write, whether it features guys in spandex or not.
I hate Spanx.
I'd be happy to do Star Trek again, if the writing was right.
Usually, one of the first things I think about when I'm developing a character is what they're wearing. I mean, it sounds very cheesy and very actor-y, but it really does help me figure it out.
Actors have an unusual perspective on clothing. You've really got to know the impact of what you're wearing on the character you're playing.
I've actually usually been wary of taking on science fiction as an actor because it's really tough to do. It's really difficult to execute. There's often lots of prosthetics, green screen and special effects, and it can get very technical.
I feel like I'm a character already, as in, like, I love dressing up.
I have Spanx on. Always! I have to wear them all the time!
