Today’s guest is a man whose face you’ve seen hundreds of times in movies and TV shows, but you probably never knew his name until now. Erick Avari boasts a resume of big appearances in tons of well-known things, and three of those are Star Trek!






Erick first appeared in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” episode from season 5 titled “Unification Part 1” as the Klingon warrior B’ijik, and then returned to the franchise in season 3 of Deep Space Nine as Vedek Yarka in “Destiny.” He followed that up with one more Trek appearance in the season 1 episode of Enterprise titled “Terra Nova” as Jamin. We discuss how he got these roles, the makeup he had to wear for them, acting with Nana Visitor, Avery Brooks, Scott Bakula, how different each of these shows were, and much more.






Plus, Erick tells us the story of growing up in India and coming to America where he first discovered his affinity for Star Trek, his family’s lineage in stage and cinema, some of Erick’s Broadway and theater career, including his time with Val Kilmer in “Tis A Pity She’s A Whore”, behind the scenes stories from “Stargate,” and memories from “Mr. Deeds,” “Murder, She Wrote,” “The Beast,” “Encino Man” and the obscure and bizarre film “Nothing Lasts Forever.”
