There’s no resistance for me.” I thought this could always work. Yeah, there’s this writer David Reed who worked on “The Boys” and on “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.” And he just came up to me and was like, “I love ‘Lower Decks.’ How can we get you on a live-action ‘Star Trek’ show?” I’m like, “I would do it in a heartbeat. I gather that episode came together because of a conversation you had on the set of “The Boys”? Very meta, actually, considering Boimler is such a fan of Riker and comes to work with him on the Titan, and Jonathan and I got to work together and I consider him a really good friend now. So it was a dream for you and it was probably also a dream for Boimler. He directs so much “Star Trek,” and just to have Riker telling you what to do - if Riker is saying that you’re on the right path, you probably are. He’s just a legend, and he just absolutely nailed it. But I think the real blessing shooting that was having Jonathan Frakes as the director. I tried to bring as much of that into the episode as possible, but trying to do things were a little too big, a little too animated in a live-action setting, but still keep it within the Boimler range of movement. I studied the way the animators and artists rendered Boimler and his movements and certain little gestures he would do. That was such an interesting challenge as an actor to take something that I usually just do with my voice but then inhabit every bit of him. So what was it like for you to suddenly embody Boimler, and as a follow up, is your hair purple? There are some animated elements to the episode, but it’s not like a Roger Rabbit where, like, there’s an animated Boimler following Pike down a hallway. We got to go all over the ship and interact with that amazing cast. We got to actually be in the bridge and the transporter bay and the hallways. I won’t get into the plot details of how exactly that happens. We’re coming on to “Strange New Worlds.” We’re coming aboard the Enterprise. ![]() So Tawny Newsome and I are playing live-action versions of Mariner and Boimler. So you’re playing a live-action version of Boimler, not voicing him? And it was cool to actually get to be the live-action version of him in the “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” crossover. He just holds a very, very special place in my heart. I’ve always wanted to play a goofball like him in a show like this. ![]() Other than that… I make my voice a little bit higher pitched, and he kind of just comes out of me. Boimler is constantly geeking out about all things Starfleet in the way that Mike is geeking out about all things “Star Trek.” So you step into that environment inherently. ![]() I think I just listen to Mike McMahon talk about “Star Trek.” His enthusiasm for this franchise is just so contagious that it for sure rubs off on you. Thank you for letting this happen," Jack said.What do you do to get in the Boimler headspace when you record the show? But we all have our faults and I forgive you."Ī clearly stunned Jack dropped to his knees and shouted "Yes!" upon Amandla's reveal. Sometimes I still get a jabbing pain through my abdomen and I'm reminded of the time you murdered me. It's been so many years," Amandla said in the video. Now, more than a decade after its initial release, Amandla addressed the man responsible for their cinematic demise. The actress, who played Rue in 2012's The Hunger Games, finally confronted Jack Quaid, who played Marvel in the film, in an exclusive E! News video from Comic-Con 2022.įor those who don't remember-or those who would just rather forget-Marvel accidentally killed 12-year-old Rue while attempting to stab Katniss ( Jennifer Lawrence) in the franchise's first film. Amandla Stenberg forgives, but they never forget.
