PAUL GIAMATTI
Newsweek US
|February 13, 2026
The actor on joining Star Trek, his "dream role" playing a Klingon pirate, reflecting on The Holdovers and the persistent myth that he's won an Oscar (he hasn't, but should)
"I LOOK AT THAT LITTLE PART AND.... IF IT MATTERS IN THE MOVIE, I DON'T CARE WHAT SIZE IT IS. I REALLY DON'T."
How did Paul Giamatti end up in a Star Trek series?
They came to me with it! I guess I had said somewhere that somebody asked me what my dream role was, and I said “A Klingon!” I didn’t think anybody would actually ever let me be a Klingon. So they came to me and said, “Really? Do you wanna be in Star Trek?” I'm a huge, lifelong fan of it. Huge. I still can’t believe I got the chance to do it.
For this new series, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, where do we meet your character?
