222: Very, Very Fortunate

Dwight Schultz Interview.
 
Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, played by Dwight Schultz, is
well-known for being shy and struggling with addiction to the
holodeck, but he also had the technical knowledge and ability to
think outside the box that could be used to save the day. Dwight
Schultz appeared as the popular and unforgettable Lieutenant
Barclay over the course of 11 years in 5 episodes of The Next
Generation, the movie First Contact, and 6 episodes of
Voyager. 


In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Justin Oser, Amy Nelson, and
Richard Marquez interview actor Dwight Schultz about his role as
Lieutenant Barclay on The Next Generation and Voyager. The
discussion includes talking about his longtime Star Trek fandom,
sharing fascinating and funny behind-the-scenes stories about
working in Star Trek and on The A-Team, and the inspiration that
the character of Lieutenant Barclay continues to provide to many
Star Trek fans 28 years after his first appearance in "Hollow
Pursuits."
