UGO: Oh, come now, Bruce......Well, there’s a role that you’ve recently wrapped, another great leader, not of our time, but of the future, and this of course is Captain Christopher Pike, who is a captain of The Enterprise prior to Kirk. (Not the first captain of course, there were others in between.) Can you tell us a little about your role as Captain Pike, on Star Trek?

BG: Well, I’m literally sworn to secrecy in many ways. So I can’t give you any story points at all.

UGO: But you did work with Chris Pine on some of the scenes, correct?

BG: Oh, yeah. I worked with all the kids. I think, I don’t know, but it felt to me on set, particularly with the vibe that JJ creates on set, that it’s going to come off really well. I mean Chris is fantastic, Zack [Quinto] is really, really good. I think they made really wise choices in the cast. And JJ, of course, is force of nature.

BG: Here’s a little Trek-ian stuff - I can tell you the security was so tight that not only do we sign these massive telephone-book sized disclosure agreements, but even when we were on the lot at Paramount, they put up a big fence around all the trailers. And then after we got into our costumes, we had to put on these huge massive ponchos with hoods, then scurry into a tented-over golf cart, that while on the lot was driven to a plastic garage off the stage. Then we were escorted quickly onto the stage from the curtained golf cart. It was just crazy.
