176 Michael Dorn

This is our Q&A with Michael Dorn from Starfest in 2016. Enjoy. How's everybody doing? I think it's Tuesday, I've been talking for days, and I'm bored with myself.

So, I want to thank everybody for coming out. It's been an interesting project for the last three or four years, because we started 2012 going into Star Trek Next Generation and we're here to work with each other. It was interesting. And something's come on, it's pretty wicked.

It was the first week that we started. No, it's not that exciting. In fact, it's pretty brutal to think about it. We've all been like, it's 30 years.

And I still like you, oh my God. So, it's been crazy. It doesn't look like it's going to stop at the time. So, yeah, I hope we can ask it.

Or be that I'm sure it's going to be crazy because we have the new series coming out next year. And when the movie's coming out this year, we're going to have a new series coming out next year. So, we're going to have a new series coming out next year. So, if you want to start trying to come out here, you're always watching.

Which is always good. But just to kind of give the overview, I do these questions in a month. Here's the old, I did two down the hallway, and the idea is we're in the work. Now, I'm talking about it.

The story is an end level, okay? And the people, kind of went out on the internet. And it kind of was going really well. I wrote a script.

And everything was going on very well. And sometimes it was usually what we thought it would. And it went away. Now, I got one another.

I started talking about it. I was very interested. And once again, it's a certain point. Producer couldn't make happy with it.

And we hear that there at the end of the next two users. Which kind of means that we're not going to do the work somehow. Because I'm not going to have two shows on it. It's just not going to happen.

So, that part is kind of going. Yeah, I don't necessarily have to do that much. But it was a little bit liberating. Because now it's really because I wrote another slide I showed that has one of the two stars.

I was sort of like the Gene Rotberry field of people's show. And what is going on there in space, battles, fighting, all kinds of things. So, I'm finishing that up and also doing a vacation by the... which I should be finishing with.

So, which is going to be fantastic. I love that. Aviation, I'm sorry. Excuse me.

It's going to be a rough week in the hesitant for a minute. It was kind of a move right in there. That was a silly joke. Anyway, so that's an excellent one.

It was a routine for that camera. That was those are the brightest things. Really, really bright. Thank you.

But otherwise, it's going to be a great writing. Who knows what's going to happen if you're driving? Somebody said they will mind who you know you can be on the new series. Yes.

I mean, we are in space with Christ's sake, so anybody can come back. As we've seen in the last couple of moments, anything is possible. But it's very nice to think about it. I'm also really happy that the fans are still loyal to us.

And it's still a part of the life span out there. It's going to be around for a very long time. Which is good too. I was a pick-and-a-the original show.

So, to see it after all these years, and having to be involved in all these years, and, you know, like a wheelchair, you know, just like that's what we did with it. Alright. Any questions? People were saying they had questions for me, but I wasn't invited up the ground.

Brandon? Oh, hi. Mr. I was trying to be asking this, but I asked that.

The other one was Mr. I had definitely been a future person for a while. And probably I'd be like a test pilot or sometimes a war ship. Like 9 million miles an hour, so I got a big one.

Well, that was a terrible question. What? How was it about flying your plane? Flying my plane.

I'm not making sure because I'm going to go out. No, I started flying back in 1988. And a few years after that I got a chance to go with the Thunderbird, so I'm going to see the Blue Ages and the Media and the Blue Ages. It's very funny because it's even three, and only one's eye, only two's, so you're in front of me and you're in front of me and you're in front of me and you're in front of me and you're flying off.

And you're flying off and you're solo. Guys, it's all kind of real kind of scene. And so I'm going to have a little training. And then it's the idea of the airplane.

You get a very good go. I say, okay, my whole, you know, tomorrow I'm going to have to go to your first solo, get a big six. I'm going to have to go to the fourth. So I got, I've liked it on and I'm pretty cool.

I'm walking out with my helmet and I'm like, oh my god, what am I doing? Michael, come on, you know, I'm big guys. I hope you're like, okay, Mr. Big Talk, Mr.

Ryder Pilot, you want to do this? So, here I am, I jump into the airplane, test it out. And I go, okay, and I jump and I take it off and I go, cool. So I go out into all these aeropats and stuff with them, if I need an examiner and installed.

And then it's time to land. And I go, once again, oh my god, I've got to land it. And so I just followed my instructor's advice, amen, my enemy. And every time I go to tell you, once you do your first landing, your solo, it's like, oh my god, you start doing a bunch of, you just go around and around because you're like, oh my god, this is great.

So it's all worked out because I didn't, you know, crash. But that was easy. And likely just a little about this. I was fortunate because once you went to the land, the fire body of the Asian community services is a very small community.

And they talk to you, oh my god, it's working out. So I'm going to call to my publicist from all these places. And I call to them and I get to go, my guy I call from this T-care Air Force base and they said, which would come out and talk to the troops and they sign autographs and blah, blah, blah. And she says, they can't pay you, but they give you a rocket in something.

And I said, really, she goes, Michael, once I have 16. It's a really nice thing. And that went on for about three years, three or four years ago. And finally, the last time that I had a fight with the military, I was, I'll take two quick stories.

The last time I was, they said, Michael, these guys that you met a year ago, they wanted to see you, you wanted to go out. To the aircraft carrier in M-18. I'm cold. And so we went to the war and they were stationed in Central California.

They did all the tests. They jumped in water, tried water. All the increases, no. The day counts, my flight is here in the river.

I jumped in M-18. We go south. We go off shore. 50 miles.

And it's just like they say that we've seen the shows and everything. They say, it looks like you're landing on a post-disturb. Because for five-hours, I'm all of a sudden, he goes, oh, there's the airplane in Trinidad and I go, I go. I don't see it.

He says, wait a minute. It's a slow-down. And you go, oh my God, we're going to land on that. I'm in the ship.

Sure. He had a great time. I landed. I signed autographs for the people to blow a bag.

We did about four or five traps and catch shots. It really didn't. On the way down there, he let me fly the airplane. And I'm all over the sky.

I'm having a great time. I'm turning them all in. He says, well, you can't do that. They're watching me.

You're going, you know, that was a big thing. I'm going to say, what's it going on? I don't know if flight is a big thing going on. And I still like it.

So we got to catch off here. We're coming up and he goes, OK, you got the airplane. I go, thank you. I said, OK, this time I'm going to be good.

I'm going to hold an altitude and air speaking and everything. And I'm flying. I'm like, yeah. I got this.

I'm holding altitude and air speaking. The light. And I'm just. And then something happened.

I forgot what it was. Nothing's happening. And guys, in the front seat, Brian. Brian, what did you do?

Disconnect the thing. There's a little switch. You can turn off the back seat from here. And I'm flying for an hour.

And I'm like, Michael, he says, I don't like just move and take it anymore. You're just. So that was a snapshot. The lid was amazing.

And then my last little story is that I blew angels. I did about three or four videos. And then I threw them into the voice over videos. And they said, and after meeting, I was still the only one flying to the moon.

That's it. That's it. So after I did some videos, more than after my one flight. They said, I'm going to do the flight with the moon.

I'm going, I'm going to give them a flight. They said, no, no. This is going to be information. Football.

Football. Once again, I'm the coolest guy in the world. And so the first time I go down to a bear mark. And I get bought by a napkin.

I go, okay, he's a general. I go, okay, I'm sorry. I get bought. He can't go away.

The second point is that point could be up in the description. So I go, but the point goes down for bad weather. So on the day, I'm up there. Ready to go.

Michael, I did a test of the boss of the way. I did a test. We got a little show of, which is a little post to the ground. He can't go.

No problem. But we'll give you another one. Then they said, we're going to be at the fleet. We've got to be pulled to the top.

Come up here. I'm going to be at the day six. I'm going to be at the super pool. He says, it took me into the briefing where the pilot is doing a little briefing before they take off.

He's really kind of pooling. It's close to everybody. I'm sitting there. I'm like, okay, I'm the first.

So I said, ready to go. So we held out. Go drive in the airplane. I get in the airplane and strapped in.

I says, good luck, Michael. Thank you. You know what? Can it comes down?

And the airplane breaks. How many breaks? His little voice is eight on the ground. Eight on the ground.

Eight on the ground. Eight on the ground. Eight on the ground. I said, it's not the time.

No. The airplane is not working. And so after about 20 minutes, I said, I'm sorry. I got to go to the Goodness.

Goodness. We got another airplane. You can't go. So he gets out.

He goes, okay. He comes up. I get out. I walk him back.

The little sailor guy comes up and he goes, oh, this is starting to hear some video. I get in the airplane. I get in the airplane. I look at him.

I look at him. I get in the airplane. He comes up. He comes up.

He comes up. He comes up. Finally, the guy says, they call me later. They go, Michael, don't worry.

We have another point for you. I don't. I think I'm not going to do this. I think three times is enough for me.

Somebody's telling me something. So play. That's the English. No more English stories.

Yes. He talks about what did you say of tattoo? Tentu. It was white experience for number of reasons.

I said before I was at this wonderful time. He was a great guy. He was also a great talent. Very talented.

Very smart. He goes and stuff. And so when they call me, just a whole lot of people say, what's going on? It's about sure.

I read this script. It was a little odd first. I go, I'm supposed to be a better worker. It's a horrible.

Now I've never done that before. But I went, oh, and as I read it more and more, it got to be funnier and funnier. Because we were the most horrible gay company ever seen. I didn't work, we were actually like me.

And then they said they wanted to do a sort of homage to the conventions. And so they said, would you mind getting dressed up? And I said, no, no, not going to happen. But if it's the worst makeup and costume that I've ever seen, then yell.

And it was, the one thing about the set was that, is an easy guy who assessed or very easy. I mean, there's no, there wasn't a lot of problems. There wasn't a lot of angst. There wasn't a lot of overtime.

So I got, I mean, just basic kids. And he listens to, you know, if you have any advice, he listens to it, he'll let you do it. And he'll say, nah, I'm going to say yes. At least he'll let you do it.

So he was a, he's a long-lost person. So I go, thank you. Yes. I just wanted to question.

Do you have a lot of interview members? No, I don't have two singers. Oh, no, wait. There's a hocker here.

And then there's a hocker here. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, there's a hocker here. And then there's a hocker here.

Oh, no, no, no. That's weird. I mean, I'm really relaxed, but I'm not that. But usually, usually you see people running away from her, you know, running screaming.

You know, these guys are going, oh, school with the therapist. I'm like, so, how would everyone do it? Yes. What's it called?

No one has to take the thing about the pages and come work and then become new again. It's, it started up in three hours on the TV show and it got them to two hours. But then, clearly, moving. So it's always three hours.

And it's only about three minutes to go. Like a word. Because they just have to read the other thing. They don't care.

So they have to work. It doesn't feel pain. So. It's true.

Hi. Hi, I'm Dan. Your character on the next game, Andy, and not on the other. What was your favorite role in the game?

You were a big, big, big son on the show. Was it a young kid or was it a old guy? Oh, yeah. I don't think the younger guy was a, or a monster.

I can't remember the old guy. But really good guy. You don't have to say I'm a big older guy. Just because it was really an adult relationship, you know, that they were one group.

Yeah. And the kid that played in the goals was a really good guy. And even though they still had their wrong, they were able to kick to understand the thought of Joe. Yeah, I'm wrong.

I'm wrong. Yeah, could you have come? I had that. I had that.

You were going to be careful. No. I was going to touch me. I was like, I can't hear.

Well, you know, the thing is that they're, I mean, I was like, I was raised by my mother. I was like, I'm going to go around. So my dad was around, but still it wasn't the same thing. I mean, I talked about this before.

What was the kind of great thought? But the thing about the value is that he was in the least very, very, very, very, very, very, he was present. And he's almost elephanting. And so, and that's a good thing about it.

And even when the story of the kid was dying, he had sent his son away again and his son came back. And so he had to, you know, read the real wind. But like I said, I thought it was a very true light. I didn't think it was all the writers that did that.

I loved what they did on the house. It was very, at least not sort of everything was still, you know, everything turns out well. The war was learned. And the law was learned.

No, it's not. Hi. Hi. I was going to talk about the whole years of the start of the conservation.

When we were doing Tai Chi as work, and since work has been a good mission to become the most new age equivalent that I've ever wanted. Did you ever say, or did you come up to that and play as part of your character yourself? Yes, I did. That was all the, and the special thanks supervisor show was a martial arts actually.

Can I ask what Silie were on Dunsbury? Well, he was a mixture. I don't know about what side of Tai Chi was. It was Tai Chi.

It was very easy to do it. And it's basically, when you start getting ready to do martial arts, or you know, exercise, what you're going to do, you go through these motions to have a set of yourself and get yourself ready to do what you're going to do. That's what he used to teach you. And so all that is really martial arts movements.

But the buying that I did was a little bit of martial arts, but a little bit of what my impression of what clean art would be. So, you want to? Hi. Do you call all candidates what year you were on the board and the risk of cornering the loop?

But in the board, the illustration. When you were on the board, yeah. I think that was in 1996, 1997. And it was, it was something like the eliminators, or the, what was the name?

What was the name? I don't know if they had the board or if they had the reason they asked me if I got the front squat. Oh, really? What was he?

Was he right? He was. He was. I don't know what he was saying.

I'm talking about something like Jerry. What was the point? What was the point? What was the point?

What was the point? I didn't work well. They worked the other place. Okay, no, it wasn't right.

I knew it was. I'll be put together. It was black. I was a big pastor.

I thought I'd be able to say something. About the spot? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I was a big pastor for the board. You know. You know. You know.

You know. You know. You know. You know.

You know. You know. You know. You know.

You know. After that time. You know. Yeah.

Thank you. You know. You know what happened with your roots. What did it pull into church?

What happened with it? Why did it pull into church? pretty much because they work in the archives, the alley-points. So we knew that we had to put the punches together in the very middle.

So they weren't. They weren't. Strangely. But two things were the interesting mark, which is one was that it was a challenge because the show wasn't really very well.

That's why he wanted him to know how to raise it. And that's a challenge because it's on your shoulders. Because if you do a good job and the race come up, they're very happy that you're a hero basically. And if you've got it, you're just like an over-beat asshole.

Which I've been before. I guess I've been. Hey, that's another story. And the other one is that I really wanted more to become more division-silly.

And that's one of the other ones. They were great. I understand. You were one hands-on.

You were one hands-on. You moved like a great one? You moved like a great one. The only thing about those two shows that I'm not sure you've heard about this before is that our show was all we were, we did our jobs.

We were present there. It's an action. We knew every year. We were having fun.

I think we called a lot. They did fun with each other. It was just amazing. It was a loud set.

You were very awesome. And when you got over the deep space, they were very serious. Yeah, sure. What a don't.

What are you talking about? I always make the joke that it was like, and I'm sure you heard this joke before. It was like, and I don't, hey guys, how you doing? Yes.

And you're doing it. What did you do? You do it. But I have to open it.

I'm sure you got six months. I broke with them on that. And yeah, it took me that long. And then they became a lot louder, which is great.

But it was my name. I mean, I still mean no knowledge. You're not in a lot. It's such a great time.

Turn your family on. It's got very close to your mind. So I would say that my friendships are different, but they're still strong since my fruition. Hi.

Thank you for the last week, by the way. I'm curious your description of the area that you brought us tonight. Has the Navy ever provided you to one particular character? You would think they would.

You would think. I bet you I bet you gave somebody somebody somewhere after all. This is what we said. Oh shit!

I'm putting my $1. But they might even be new in the crisis building in a few years. Oh, shut up. Holy, that's an airplane.

Oh, thank you. Hi. Hi. Earlier you said that someone had told you that you couldn't be in the news show.

Was that someone who was working on the show? And it's not the only thing that I was working on the show. I was working on the show. I was working on the show.

I was working on the show. I was working on the show. I was working on the show. I was working on the show.

I was working on the show. So, does that mean that we had set an opportunity if you were in shows or the door was? What I've heard is the couple of news and the new movies. That's the time.

But we can time travel at the blink of the hat. I think it's time to come back home. We can time travel at any time. We want it.

So, I think it's time to go on the show. I think the show, what I mean, I want to give us a say. We were just talking to the people who said, you don't know what's possible. Thank you.

Yes, please. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you. I was wondering what about the United States most of the day personally and what about them being released?

The thing that I always liked about the thing, I said, they kind of swash my thing in a way. But I don't know if they're killing it or they really are going to have a swash my person to get out there. They're loud and they have a lot of life. I always like that very good.

And they're not like that. And they are, you know, literally, they really are a red history. They're all places to go on. I always like that.

And they are incredibly brave. The thing that at least resonates with me is their willingness to blindly die. Or, you know, you kind of go, you know, or for sure. Or if it's supposed to die for a little, I don't think so.

I mean, there's a part of me. I mean, interestingly, not in the last episodes of The Ultimate Space Nine, it was with the original, not in the sport. John Douglas, who was a joint work with, a lovely man. I totally had a ball break.

I mean, so cool. But certainly when you die, you can not be out, you know, it's so stupid. You know, they really believe in it. That is, you know, that's what I believe.

I mean, that's what I believe. And that's what I'm going to go. But they do it for all the white reasons. They do it for, he was saving a whole bunch of people.

You know, he was sacrificing. He wasn't asking. You know, and that is, no, it's just the guys that are like out there. I'm dying because that's what you do.

So, and the team. That doesn't red name. That doesn't resonate with, you know. It's so funny.

It was a crazy story about the team. The guys, they have the false team. It's just a good deal. And I was doing some scenes and the producers are going down.

And then there's a lot of things that are out there trying to figure out what to change. You know, like, we have a problem. Oh my God, what is it going on? Acting as maybe the, I'm not pretty.

No, you're a team. I don't believe them. You're bottom team. They're too straight and clean.

Okay. Have you looked at me lately? I'm sure that you know, you aren't in the audience. Why?

You know, I believe the clean out stuff, but the team. That was pleasant. Really, really good. So that was a thing.

And then there's a couple of shows where they actually made rotten quantities where people were. Yeah. So that was a bit interesting. I have a question.

Somebody, I'm sort of making that up to me else's question earlier. Kind of like, was it sort of like a trafity phase nine? Or was it sort of always in the plan? Or did it come apart?

And they got into writing them out a bit more. We're trying to hang on on and stuff like that. Working for a space and idea or two. Like, or was it just kind of like, came about when they wound up in a situation where they're out with the Kardashians?

No, no. I think it came about long before they asked. Long before they wrote a script. I think they said, we are in trouble.

And we need to get something. And I think that's the question. That's the question. Yeah.

Then I came first with that. They wrote a script to match that. I think that's the way that happened. But I was in the trap.

It was more like, if you put it in a sports manager, that's like, you know, a free HB. And they said, how do we need somebody to get something in? It's not that bad. So I think that's not bad.

So I think that's not bad. Nope, I don't. Not bad. Hair.

Not bad. Not bad. Oh, my God! Not bad.

Not bad. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad.

Let me tell you something. We don't want to start down. Although, I'm going to tell you, I do think that being a win, by the way, in this career, I live by the way, that's how I live by the way. But no, Zata team, because I was a random student for many years.

And then they said, we won't come to the team. So they moved. And then they run on the radio team. Why hate?

And they were there. And then they go back. I'm like, God, I was here. I love the ball, but I just like it.

You are? I can. So just like the first question, I'm not a security teacher. I'm not a security teacher, so I'm like, I'm always a security teacher.

Do you all understand? No, I'm not a security teacher. Where's my favorite place to be? Where's your favorite place to be?

It's kind of funny, but I love San Francisco. I mean, and I think I'm back. I'm sorry. I'm a big fan of London.

It's kind of hard. I mean, Europe is great. I've been to all of it at least. I'm not really a fan of it.

How do I think about it? You didn't. I'm like, we didn't talk about it. I know it's kind of orderly nature.

You know, they're very, you know, I think about it yesterday. It's a place to be. And I just love the very moment that people are super cool. I mean, it doesn't hurt that I have October for this there.

I think that's the last time that I drank. I went there with a good buddy by this drink. And to a shout-out, I had re-drained. And the first time I'm like, I'll just take a loose hit.

And by the fourth ten, I was speaking German. It was a little bit. And I'm like, what the fuck? And it was pretty, pretty fun.

Sorry, I was fine. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Go, go, go. Yeah.

Did you cheat to get that much? Worked in. More for purchase. What was he having had in the process?

Well, we know that work is a kind of dawn on the kind. I thought it was a silly idea. But naturally, they thought it was going to be good. And in order to go over the start, the seconds went up.

And actually, it was a great thing. They had approaches and they had a lot of time. And then I started going to conventions. And people would start bringing me to the first time.

The first time it was funny, the first time it was time. Oh, Mr. Dormy, that's it before you really went. I thought it was a good news.

And then after the fourth time, I didn't know you'd go, okay, yeah, no, no, no, no. And I hate to throw this other way. So I took on a stick for a surgery. And another came over at the worst.

I was snooping through my refrigerator with Steve Boskey. I just used to eat also perchoo. So, my home. Are you feeling okay about it?

But it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was fun. So, in the new movies, they got a new cast of played in the original series. There were only something like that for the next generation. What new actor would you choose to play more?

Guy, I just don't think there is anyone. I'm sorry. I want to be helpful with this. But I think that's, I don't know, there is nobody.

Did you sell them? Nah. Dins out. I don't, I don't know.

I think I'm dead. Are you working with me? I think that's, yeah, this is what you tired of me now or something? I think that's it.

It goes, yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry. Oh, yes, yes. I think I mentioned that anymore.

About the cops in the handcuffs, things like that. No. You have no question because nobody has, but that's the great guy. Hey?

I want to thank you guys for coming out. It's going to be a pleasure. If you like this, check out some of our other shows like D20 proof, knapsack comedy. And Mr.
