Star Treks Doctor Returns: Picardo on Revisiting Iconic Role

In this episode, Robert Picardo, the beloved holographic Doctor from Star Trek Voyager, discusses his return to the role in the new series Star Trek Starfleet Academy. Picardo shares his initial surprise at being asked to reprise the character, now nearly one thousand years older with perfect digital memory. He notes the challenge of playing an ancient yet familiar character, while maintaining the Doctors snarky edge and egotistical nature. The Doctors emotional growth is tested when he forms a mentor-protege relationship with a young photonic student, Sam, played by Kerrice Brooks. This new dynamic forces the Doctor to question his emotional distance and the point of his immortality.
