Ethan Beck explains the Star Treke of what separates him from Leonard Nimoy (exclusive)

We call it pressure and privilege taking one of the most famous roles in all science fiction. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” had a lot to be up to when it was released in 2022, but the main between them was It resides in the shade (almost literally) of the “original chain”. Prequel is set on the same Starship Enterprise Foundation, features many of the same characters, and embraces the tone of exhaustion to the “Star Trek” era, which has ended long ago. Therefore, when the actor Ethan Beck was originally photographed as a world -famous science officer, Spoc, who is charged with entering the same shoes and uniforms specially designed such as the original Lionard Nimoy photography, it was very easy to collapse under the weight of such expectations … or, at least, greatly declares the side that enjoys operation. In his own way.

/Film only attended the first international show “Strange new worlds” season 3 At the Trebika Film Festival in New York City, where we wanted to reach the bottom of this topic exactly. At the present time, PECK has been asked of countless questions about measuring NIMOY performance and how to move in the challenges of breathing life in a well -defined personality already in pop culture. Instead, we decided to ask him about what he and the writing team specifically brought to “strange new worlds” – in essence, which makes this version different from the image that we all know and love. Daughter as it was always, Beck replied:

“I would like to say they really brought a comic quality to Spock that I play in” strange new worlds. “I think they may have efficiency in uncomfortable situations.

Trekkies, who is familiar with “The Original Series”, and the films that followed, know that Spock Leonard Nimoy may also be a source of some amazing moments of comedy – just see any literal interaction with Deporest Kelley, after everything – but in a completely different way from what it is in “new String worlds”. It is worthy of a smaller and less accurate version of the character. Ethan Beck photography highlights his struggle to reconcile with his half -human side as much as his half -volcanic heritage. Whether this weakness leads to humor or lamentation, well, all of this is part of the pleasure of this new series.

During a special questions and answers session after the first presentation of the third season, he joined many of the neglected in the upcoming episodes Henry Alonso Maires. Among the many topics that you covered (which I included The star Anason Mount runs grilled whether he knows that he was “increased” from “Trek”), Spok Sagittarius and its journey to become the character driven by logic from a large Nemoy version. As Goldsman explained:

“I think those of us who started” TOS “have a link with the most logical time in Spok’s life. But if you think about Spok, not only in” TOS “and before (” strange new worlds “), if you think about Spok, while he was carrying it through animation, as it carries it at the end of (” next generation “), then we start in reality that his entire life was heading with his identity.

Without giving up anything far away, let’s just say that many episodes this next season put this progress in the introduction with Spock’s Spock … and the results are incredible. Although we know that The offer is approaching its end with the fifth seasonWe still have dozens and dozens of other hours with Spok, Captain Mount Bike, and all our favorite crew at the USS. The third season of “Worlds New Worlds Strange” strikes the speed of warp on Paramount+ July 17, 2025.
