Walter Koenig im Interview: Bester ist interessanter als Chekov!
Bei einem Online-Chat (zu Werbezwecken – gerade
erschien sein neues Buch »Warped Factors: A Neurotic's Guide to the
Universe«) gab Schauspieler Walter Koenig folgendes von sich:
»Well, you know, I'll always have a deep loyalty and
abiding relationship with the character I played on Star Trek, Chekov.
But certainly the greater challenge and more interesting artistic work
was the work I've done on Babylon 5 as Mr. Bester.«
Zu ST:TNG gab er zu:
»I don't know if anyone would admit it, but I think we
were all a little threatened by it and hoped it wouldn't succeed. None
of us feel that way now, but back then we were all very proprietary
with it.«
