M-20: A Conversation with Video Game Spock

Piotr Michael Interview.PLEASE NOTE: this episode was put together in July 2024 - before the strike. In 2023, a new video game sprang on to the scene, Star Trek: Resurgence. It was a third-person adventure game, with its plot a follow-up to the first season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Last Outpost." It included the voice of Jonathan Frakes as William Riker, however, one of the other voice actors stood out - Piotr Michael, who channeled the late Leonard Nimoy as Ambassador Spock. Resurgence takes place before the 24th century events of the 2009 Star Trek feature film so naturally a new voice actor was needed to play Spock. In this mini-episode of Twin Cities Trekkies - long delayed due to the Video Game Strike of 2024 (which has now ended as of June 11, 2025) - Wes interviews Piotr Michael, who voiced Spock and asks about his career, how he was able to channel Nimoy, and teases about other projects he is currently doing.Any feedback you have can be submitted to the Facebook page (facebook.com/tctrekkiespod), or by emailing them at [email protected].
