71. The reluctant captain found his real reason for his acting career

Sun Sep 14, 2014, 07:34 PM

Sep 2014

He didn't unpack in his first 6 weeks on the set of Stsr Trek, thinking he was going right back to england.

He didn't think he'd like television.

And now he has the power to do something so simple and so wonderful. And it's the real man, and he's not acting.

Beautiful. I wish there were video, but that would be an invasion of the child's privacy.

Gives. One. Hope. For. Humanity.
