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)

- BY H. ALAN SCOTT

PAUL GIAMATTI

"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?
