Browder:
Galaxy Quest
scared
the hell out of me," laughs Browder. "Most of the core cast
went and saw it the first weekend it came out. We got to the set on
Monday, and all I could go was, ‘Never surrender, never give up.’
‘By Grabthar’s Hammer, I swear...’ I just totally dug the movie.
But they did that hammer sequence in the ship, and they said, ‘The
writer of this should be killed.’ The nonsensical stuff goes on, and
you go, ‘Oh God, this is my life.’ From the beginning, at the
convention, you go, ‘Okay twenty years, you haven’t worked, this
is my life.’ On the one hand you go, ‘At least I’ll have a
living.’ On the other hand, you’re going, ‘No.’" "I
think that it’s remarkable and it’s fantastic that fans invest
that much in a show," he continues. "You want people to
invest themselves in your show. For the most part, you sort of think
of yourself as just an average person. You get involved and absorbed
in the work, and the work obsesses you. But all this stuff on the side
that comes with being on Star Trek, that to me looks a little scary,
to answer to the real world for the fantasy world you live out. I look
forward to it, but it scares me to have to talk to people who know the
show that well, and have watched what you’re doing that well. You
want people to really watch, but do you want them to watch that
closely? It’s that same kind of fear I think we all have in our
lives, where we start to think, ‘When are they going to figure out
that I don’t know what I’m doing?’
