I [wrote] a book called Get a Life, which examines the constituency of the audiences that go to these Star Trek conventions. I found out, to my surprise, that they came to see each other. The audience had started to pool and mix among themselves and get to know each other. I was in a Star Trek convention in New York, a sold-out house of well over 1000 people, and this very question came up. I said, “I know that you’re here, not necessarily to see me, but to see each other.” They all sort of agreed.
A lot of critical success for your work occurred in the middle of your career. For example, your Emmys for your work on Boston Legal. How did it feel to be recognized after so many years in show business?
Well as you can imagine, it was wonderful. I gloried in it. I accept it with a lot of humility, because it was a long time coming, a lot of work went in to it. I was grateful that things worked out.
Show Me the Money airs tonight on ABC.
