Stay tuned for the latest news and events as we prepare to launch Season 2 of Star Trek: The Continuing Mission…

Andy has been a long time fan of the show since the 70′s and 80′s, and looks forward to developing and crafting the series for the future.  Andy has been very instrumental in the script development and overall arc of the show.

As a lover of film and drama, when asked who has been an influence on his creative talents Andy ended up with the following list of alumni: Ronald D. Moore, George Lucas, Kevin Smith, David E. Kelly and Russell T. Davies.

In 1994, he left Babylon 5 to enter the MFA directing program at LSU, where he had the opportunity to study under Barry Kyle, lifetime Associate Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company of London and Stratford, as well as John Dennis, who served for eight years as the Artistic Director of the Resident Ensemble of the Mark Taper Forum, Los Angeles.

Moonlighting as a film critic for a British web site, Patrick’s comments on Duck Soup would later be cited by Roger Ebert in his column and book, The Great Movies. A drama coach in Knoxville, Tennessee, Patrick is now a director of over thirty plays, has been a professional Shakespearean actor, and his voice work in radio commercials has been heard throughout the Midwest.

In addition to producing, Sebastian co-wrote the pilot “Ghost Ship” and has continued creative influence on the series. He also co-directs most of the episodes with Patrick McCray. In 2005, Sebastian started to write for publication on his blog and soon after began podcasting and honing his skills as an audio editor. Soon, he began interviewing crew members of the Star Trek production team as well as actors who had appeared on the series.

In 2007, Sebastian Co-wrote two books and worked on a few small feature film projects. Sebastian enjoys reading, writing, politics and listening to the radio. He lives in California.

One of Roebuck’s more memorable roles was as Jay Leno in the HBO made-for-tv movie The Late Shift. Leno has often commented positively on Roebuck’s performance whenever a guest brings up the movie on the show. In 2003, he acted in the production Red Riding Hood. This Randal Kleiser directed HD motion picture was shot primarily with live-on-demand 3D virtual set technology.

In the fall of 2003 Mr. Roebuck returned to series television as Pete Peterson in A MINUTE WITH STAN HOOPER, Fox TV’s new comedy starring Norm MacDonald. In the series Roebuck portrayed a gay owner of the local diner where much of the action took place.

In 2005, he appeared in the television drama Lost as Dr. Arzt. He has been a writer and producer for the Monsterama series, and appeared in some episodes of the series. Roebuck recently starred in the Disney Channel Original Movie, Quints as well as the Nickelodeon Original Movie, Shredderman Rules. He also has an appearance in Disney Channel’s, Sonny With A Chance as Mr.Condor. He guest starred in Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place.

Roebuck settled back into series television when he joined the cast of LOST in the last three episodes of the acclaimed series’ first season. Daniel played the misunderstood Dr. Leslie Arzt and made TV history when he exploded on camera in the season finale!

Roebuck has been a familiar face on television over the last 20 years, he was a regular for three seasons on the evergreen hit drama, MATLOCK, portraying attorney ‘Cliff Lewis,” the junior partner of the law firm headed by Andy Griffith’s beloved character, ‘Ben Matlock.’ Interestingly, his landing the role was the fulfillment of a promise made several years earlier with his first appearance on “Matlock” in its inaugural season. At that time, Roebuck was told that Griffith had been so impressed with his work that he would be back as a regular on the show. It took five seasons, two more guest shots as different characters, and a change of networks, but Griffith kept his promise and Roebuck indeed became a series regular.

Audiences will also remember Daniel for his many unforgettable guest star roles on television over the years. Grateful that he’s never been typecast Roebuck has played cops to crooks and everything in between.

Some of his memorable characters include a super villain attempting world domination on LOIS AND CLARK, THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, a Romulan on STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION with Leonard Nimoy’s Character ‘Ambassador Spock’ in the episode ‘Unification – part II’, an Army lieutenant on THE WEST WING, a Catholic Priest on ANY DAY NOW, a sex addict on SIX FEET UNDER, a distraught husband on ER and a fleeing mob accountant on MONK. Other recent credits include NAVY NCIS, GHOST WHISPERER, CSI, BOSTON LEGAL, LAW AND ORDER and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and CLOSE TO HOME.

However it was a turn as the gun wielding crazy, Dave Burgess, on NYPD BLUE that earned Roebuck some of the best reviews of his career. In an episode touted by ABC publicity as “One of the best NYPD Blues ever! ”, Roebuck took Emmy winner Dennis Franz hostage in a nail biter that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.

Most recently he has guest starred on an episode of Dark Blue and Bones. He also provides the voice of Morris Green in Rob Zombie’s animated film The Haunted World of El Superbeasto and recently starred in another of Rob Zombie’s films – Halloween II.

As she got older she changed the course of her career and began studying acting for stage and film. After hearing about roles for female warriors, wrestlers and super-heroines, she began to kickbox and bodybuild, slowly creating a niche for herself. Spice has worked in such features as Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989), The Cherokee Kid (1996) (TV), From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), _Guyver, The (1991)_, A Simple Plan (1998) and For Love of the Game (1999). She has also guest-starred on numerous TV shows, including “Roseanne” (1988), “My Two Dads” (1987), “Women in Prison” (1987), “Mama’s Family” (1983), “The Bold and the Beautiful” (1987), “Step by Step” (1991), “Smart Guy” (1997), “Diagnosis Murder” (1993) and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (1997), in what she terms as an “action actress.” “In fact,” says Spice, “I can’t remember doing a role where I wasn’t asked to perform some kind of physical feat.” She has worked in a 7UP commercial where she had to pick the spokesperson up (who weighed in at 225 lbs.) and carry him out of a department store.

She has played many different roles, including a part as an erotic dancer in the Robert Downey Jr./Mel Gibson film The Singing Detective (2003). For over nine years she has been stunt-doubling Deidre Hall (Marlena) on “Days of Our Lives” (1965) and recently played the jail cell bully Veronica, who fights Marlena. In July of 2004 Spice worked on a Clint Eastwood film, Million Dollar Baby (2004), and then had a blast working on an independent film in Michigan called Dead End Road (2004). Just recently she was seen on the TV show “Scrubs” (2001). Stunts came into play almost 20 years ago when Spice was asked to double an actress playing a judo instructor opposite Rock Hudson.

Since then she has doubled for such stars as Louise Fletcher, Meg Foster, Katharine Ross, Clare Carey, Cindy Pickett, Linda Kozlowski, Eileen Brennan, Becky Ann Baker, Kelly Preston and many more. Spice is also a stunt coordinator and you can see her creation in the controversial Miller Lite commercial where two beautiful girls are dukin’ it out over the taste of the beer!

Although Spice has crashed cars, dived through glass windows, taken stair falls, executed 30-foot ratchets, 50-foot high falls and hung from helicopters 300 feet above the ground, she is perhaps best known for her ability to pick a 300-pound man up over her head in a fireman’s carry.

Gracing the cover and pages of over 100 magazines, both here and abroad, Spice has also made a name for herself as a nutritional expert with her popular book, “Diet For A New Age”, not to mention her ongoing magazine columns in “Ms. Fitness” and “Natural Muscle” magazines, and her successful joint venture with her husband: a popular line of vegetarian food products called “Spice Of Life Meatless Meats & Jerky.” She holds a Masters degree in Fitness Science and is currently going after her PhD in Holistic Nutrition. In December of 1998, she was voted into the Marquis Who’s Who in America-West and this year became one of only three women to take a black belt in the style of arjukanpo, involving five combatant styles.

One of her greatest honors was posing for a 30-foot bronze statue where she represents the past, present and future female athletes of the Olympics. Spice’s goal is to continue to set an example for the “women of the new millennium” — spiritually focused, mentally alert, and physically capable. Spice is married to screenwriter and first-born grandson of actor/singer Bing Crosby.

At a time when many people would be thinking of an easier life, Celeste studied for and received her Ph. D in nutrition in 1998 and now serves as adjunct professor of nutrition at the Pacific Western University. In addition, Celeste has written two best selling books: ‘Natural Cat Care: A Complete Guide to Holistic Care for Cats’, and ‘Natural Dog Care: A Complete Guide to Holistic Care for Dogs’.

As a model and actress, Celeste was renowned for her beauty and very becoming figure, being named the Foreign Press’ Most Photogenic Beauty of the Year at the Cannes Film Festival in 1968. She was also the National Association of Theater Owners Most Promising New Star of 1968. Celeste currently features as Miss April in Cedco Publishing’s popular wall calendar for 2002. The April 2002 issue of ‘Femme Fatale’ magazine also features a detailed article about Celeste.

Celeste’s diverse film credits include A New Kind of Love (1963) (with Paul Newman), Under the Yum Yum Tree (1963) (with Jack Lemmon), The Nutty Professor (1963) (with Jerry Lewis), cult horror movie The Face of Eve (1968)(with Christopher Lee), Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969), The Mechanic (1972) (with Charles Bronson) and Born Yesterday (1993) (with Melanie Griffith). On television Celeste’s credits include roles in “Mannix” (1967), _Star Trek” (1966)”, “Bonanza” (1959), “The Wild Wild West” (1965), “Bewitched” (1964), the “Columbo” series, “It Takes a Thief” (1968), “Land of the Giants” (1968), “Hogan’s Heroes” (1966) , “FBI, The” (1967), “Knots Landing” (1979) and “Melrose Place” (1992).

For Elvis Presley fans, Celeste is remembered as Ellen, the beautiful young woman Elvis romanced with the song “A Little Less Conversation” in the film, Live a Little, Love a Little (1968). As Elvis fans know, the track was recently re-mixed by progressive music producer/DJ, Junkie XL and is currently topping charts around the world.

As one of the “swinging chicks of the 1960s,” Celeste was not only interviewed by Tom Lisanti for his fascinating book, “Fantasy Femmes of Sixties Cinema (Interviews with Twenty Actresses from Biker, Beach and Elvis Movies)”, but an eye-catching photograph of her was also used for the front cover. Celeste lives and bases her health care practice for cats and dogs in Los Angeles and lives in her new home in Westlake Village.

A native Oklahoman, Nemecek began considering news and communications as a career in high school after being inspired by a teacher in his journalism class. He majored in theater at college with a journalism minor, and began writing about Star Trek because “all the Will Rogers and Sooners football books had been written.” He also cites Stephen Edward Poe’s classic The Making of Star Trek and Bjo Trimble’s Star Trek Concordance as seminal influences in entertainment and genre writing.

As an undergrad at East Central University, Nemecek started a science fiction fan club with his best friend Kevin Hopkins, called “Starbase ECU.” His favorite TOS character was Leonard McCoy and in make-up class chose a Tellarite for his non-realistic character project.

While a young newspaper reporter and editor, he chaired publicity for Oklahoma City’s SoonerCons and in 1991 founded ThunderCon there as an all-media/Star Trek charity convention. In 1993, after the publication of his first professional book, Nemecek began sharing his stories and archives with humor as a guest at conventions worldwide.

Nemecek had a long-distance correspondence with fellow Star Trek fan and artist/author Geoffrey Mandel growing out of points in the Starfleet Medical Reference (Ballantine). Nemecek’s early drafts of Star Trek star maps led them to work together when Mandel intended to publish them in fanzine form, but when Mandel was asked to finish the incomplete Star Trek Maps for Bantam Books he managed to include Nemecek’s data in the revised format scale.

In 1989, after beginning an annual episode guide and concordance fanzine
