No button there can be self destruct..... you need the officer in command + another commanding officer to enter their codes and confirm a count down to self destruct.
You should have played Shinzon in Star Trek Nemesis! Tom Hardy did not resemble Patrick Stewart in any way. Did anybody of the producers approach you?
Oh, and btw is there any picture where you stand next to Patrick Stewart (no photoshop fakes).
I'm rather new to the whole star trek fan-video thing. From the thumbnail, I thought it was Patrick Stewart so i thought this was an outtake or something. In the end, Mr. Giles Aston sure looks like Stewart, tho significantly younger.
@waldoman7 Ok, it's a Star Trek fan-film called The Stone Unturned, it was shot a couple of years ago in Dundee, with a fan group called Starship Intrepid. This is just a comical out-take, the final release is due this year.
@Captjeanlucpicard The lengths to which star trek fans go is rather astounding. I suppose some of it is likely as good if not better than the sometimes dubious newer star trek gens, but I wouldn't know where to start looking for it.
@waldoman7 There are many fan groups world-wide: Intrepid, Phase II, Exeter, Faragut, Of Gods and Men, Odyssey etc. Check out Wiki: Star Trek fan productions!
Giles, I thought your acting in the XXX was fantastic! Was it an interest in the series that made you want to pursue the role? And how was hanging around with the rest of the cast? Do you have any funny stories?
@nuck97 I believe they even considered Shinzon being a double role for Stewart.
Although Hardy doesn't look a lot similar to him, for me it was a great choice. I think he understood the ST universe and it's shakespearean feeling and thus played Shinzon accordingly more theatrically.
@Captjeanlucpicard I haven't seen it yet for obvious reasons but they didn't have you do porn scenes in the latest xxx parody did they? lol seems like a career killer to me.
@StargateMunky 'Captain Cocktail' makes cocktails... nothing lewd there. Yes I also did an XXX Parody, but I didn't get my kit off... I had a stunt man! :-) Career safe!!
Interestingly, Wil Wheaton actually made up his own button combinations for certain commands at his con station, which he says he did to provide consistency.
It is likely that Brent Spiner did also but I have no quote to confirm this.
@AshtonPhoto i don't know where i saw it , but just a couple days ago , i was watching something about the character data and Brent Spiner said that he came up with his own style and for close ups on his hands they had another actor and Brent said that they worked closely together to make sure it was consistent .
you know.that guy should play the captain of the next Enterprise even further in the future,not as J.L Picard but as desendant of him,he sure looks alot like him! occaisionally family names are able to carrie on in sertain places,know what i mean?
Shinzon looked a bit like Picard (although he didn't sound like him), but the most annoying incontinuity in Nemesis, I thought, was that ridiculous picture of Picard at the academy. What the fuck was he some kind of skinhead?? He still had plenty of hair all those years ago! He even had hair when Jack died! Do the writers just forget these things? Or am I just an obsessive freak...?
@mithol no that bothered me too, i mean the episode that i remember most was tapestry when he was a freshman and had hair, I dont know Star Trek writers and producers looked like they had just given up at this point, thank god for jj thats all i can say least he has given us something to look forward to
Sorry why didnt they just use him for Nemesis he is a better look-a-like of a younger Patrick Stewart and sounds like him and lets face it he cant do a worse job of acting then Tom Hardy really could he.
@hossrex i know what your saying the producers are to blame but i didnt see shinzon as picards clone for a few reasons, one he didnt looks like him, two he didnt sound like him and three the whole story behind picards clone was lame anyway why would the romulans clone a starfleet captain, granted a pretty important captain but the would of been better off cloneing the president
JUST my opinion, but I think Hardy did LOOK like Picard... but he didn't sound a thing like him. Considering how important "THE VOICE" is to the character of Picard, I would have shot for the right sound before the right look.
It's like no one bothered to think about whether the script made sense before they started shooting.
@Wharding85 Shinzon spent 20 years breathing dust in a coal mine, and you wonder why he doesn't sound like picard? You think twins raised in different countries would sound the same? And why clone the president? The idea was to get between earths defenses and destroy it, not to take over and force a vote for health care.
@johnmonk66 think your kind of missing the point, the whole point was nemesis was a film that should never of happened and Shinzon was a big reason why, dont forget hes not a twin hes an exact copy of him.
@johnmonk66 An identical twin is not an exact copy. An identical twins have exactly the same genes but they can end up being very different in both appearance and personality due to environmental factors. Obviously, the same thing goes for clones.
@johnmonk66 Actually, wight is correct. Cloned calico cats (calico cats with exactly the same genes) do not have the same color patterns. While this isn't for precisely the same reasons humans, it merely serves as an example that the same genes do not always produce the same appearance.
Another example is birth marks, which bare no relation to genes.
Hah. Tell you what, google 'identical twins' and then come back. 'Identical twins' are not literally identical; they merely have the same genetics. Two people with identical genetics do not necessarily have identical appearances or character (in fact, it's quite rare)
They occasionally show up on eBay if you keep looking... especially second-hand ones from The Experience in Vegas, which are pretty accurate to the originals and don't cost as much!
@Captjeanlucpicard The one a couple years back? I went to Vegas with this star trek thing. We jokingly sent a tribble to one of my dads friends. He's kinda a star trek guy. we did see some uniforms there. if that ever happens again, you should go to one of those places. they have those uniforms there.
They're tailored off a simple jacket and cargo pants pattern (sleeve and jacket's front and back panels are cut along the top and tailored from gray and black materials apart) so they should be fairly easy to make if you're able to attach sleeves and put in blind zippers. Maybe a friend or relative who can sew is willing to make one for a small fee?
My God I haven't seen Nick for years! Probably not since he arranged for Dave Prowse to visit me in hospital when I had meningitis. Sent him my best wishes:o) Garry

Tom Hardy is an amazing actor.
He was terrible in Nemesis because of the producers. Check out some transcripts of Garret Wong's comments about how Star Trek actors are told to act.
Cardboard would be a step-up.
Anyone would have been abysmal in the role of Shinzon, because the people in charge had completely lost sight of producing anything worth watching.
