that we have a very special guests only on terrace for u analog circuit id he is
of course noticed tackle from start to act
%uh and being norma star trek fan
i've ever say that
you know i watched you grown up
and at the family's with
which are about a little bit but then we get to the realtor view allied at what
is our list
the u_s_ campaign for bravo
but first let's start with sort records that's fallen like you know if it's
serious stuff
%uh okies so it turns out
you're not even russian
now actually
okay does bring the states but im of russian extraction parents were arrested
however they were russian
who's who lived in the plane
no out
the ag i've got to your bag rose from russia book watching star trek
unlike he's gotta be rough but that's not the best bet
if did it turns out one very had to have marked the russian accent
hamam
that's what they see present as natural intrude
and not by misinterpreted but the fact that
the most
literature accessing
and i wasn't trying to
doing the best actress you today
breathing the heavy russian accent
hepner
now %uh it's so star trek is some it's amazing you know obviously shot is made
a whole career out of
%uh talking about hey it was a small thing and then everybody blew up in the
something large
and you know
and all the different actors have gone all the different shows
soon lose on howard stern all the time
%uh that
i think he's still keep in touch with them and are you a little bit of that
howard has them on a night you or not
yeah i i think you can package tours i was on howard stern
ones
satisfied expiry no pretty tight
and and do you guys keep it all given dot slid in the morning you know shatner
and obviously scotty dispatch the levine her darkness george kaya who's of course
soon
respecting prospective jurors respecting the shock
commit opportunity or too
much reason to talk to
leonard bill i think i
modi
commoner dot something recently but %uh
into diagrammatic inventions that about
some other places for a second you know
uses a few trite
but you know and people say hey once you've been on a show like star trek you
can retire
but the reality is probably how much you get paid for the resume of a soloist
minor and how much you get paid for the moses probably good i don't know if you
could retire
over how does that kind of the commission's work to do just pay you
on larry king show up or is it something else
that keeps a go
well some conventions fee
in some cases
witness
writes
are ok weight-loss was also three months ago
overall you know you you invented duit acting for your whole career you've been
you know he went to u_c_l_a_ in
the vicinity internal the in two thousand four %uh backup good reviews
would you say overall you're happy you did it
or did it just
that everybody know you strike off from star trek the next round of
consumed your cur
work that has consumed my career
but %uh
and that's too bad but on the other hand had i not from star trek it's very
possible that i wouldn't
be an actor still today for the expiry tough
it's very tough profession you know to subsistence
never mind it's just such things
sustain
income
so %um %uh
i thought you know i'm
and i'm really grateful for the opportunities out
you know i i think it down
circumstances %ah from time to time too
to branch out into other things %um we just finished in the %uh feature film
%uh shooting that i wrote and produced
my son and he was %uh
the principal villain and he was brilliant right away
and %uh and so you know that something
produce and star trek lebanon and it's %uh there's a science fiction
and that's been going to the story
so no at under and and and take over and i feel very fortunate in that how this
came along
today right after sister kitna
no california force protected yeah no absolute in any success i think he's is
an amazing alfonso
series of all time
and i know that's a big problem here for a beauty here at
or give us a how did you go from acting to get involved in the u_s_ champion for
perot
pattern that come about
well there you know it's it's something the student body lying dormant in the
forum most of my life
have not really do
an activist %uh my father was an activist father was the subject of this
that the f_b_i_ came calling bassam although i i i can
yes it is so the kids are playing
camera dot my father was in
hartford it is laid back and that live
has control of the longer you know i i'm marston
in civil rights %uh
homes
protests and i i was against that war in vietnam how but i don't think i was
however %uh it was passionately
feel that that's part of mechanic magazine
have sort of let them
my son is extremely active contestant unisons
is instincts
so i certainly respecting commander
half of the district time was right %uh somebody and %uh karti hu
and here and he would run was yesterday
from burma
my family knows
they contacted us pete
she contacted us and
we had a meeting
and it just seemed as i said to sing the appropriate moment in my life
structure
to %uh women also trying to sound good
precept sentimental about the people back a little you know
%uh under the two nd cashing in
and my sisters and star trek and here was an opportunity
to use that kache
to %uh prayer
cincinnati very modestly
makes the world with more on the rather the tragedy of that that is done
i think that makes perfect sense because honestly i don't know if we would have
you on the show if i wasn't so so sorry for
if you work
you know but walter jones as opposed to all the walter jones also fits
that that supports the watergate
but in entebbe contribute back a little bit and even if it's a little bit it
makes all the difference in the world
and here we are talk about burma so
however enter into the conversation here is your son
%uh andrew styles a little bit about the u_s_ campaign for burma and what's
happening in burma my people should
the farewell %uh
he might actually be there with the facts but the truth is %uh burma has
been under military regime for a number of decades
%uh in eighty eight there's a big a crackdown
%uh massacre
and sizes appeasement the military government said okay what you have
elections they in nineteen ninety elected %uh over eighty percent of that
%uh populace collected dot
unsung suchi
%uh who became the president the democratically elected president of
%uh she's under house arrest for seventeen years an everlasting over as
president of the country
so
%uh
while unit are for is getting attention and various other places in
thank god for that
burma which is now open
remain to be and mark
is has been suffering all this time
%uh there's been a systematic %uh
%uh elimination of %uh
the ethnic groups specially
that's a lot of people we dealt with on the important the border with time and
and %uh we met with love and in %uh in time and %uh
refugee camps
so they respect and political people in burma
as equivalent would be like the difference between mexico city and
shoppers
you have your city folk and a half the people of that you know the more ethnic
people around the country
so there's a crack in the political stuff does also the putting down in
villages in the killing of people
in the moral areas
that and rolled into one of you ever processes at what why are they doing
that and it is always you know of some ethnicity being one of the way you know
whether it's
rwanda or there
or completeness sudan
or in this case primary on march
what is the government's motive for
for protecting these different groups
well the government you know this is a military dictatorship
later who took over %uh
and appointment was a lot of restless restlessness
and it was such a nice
they have come to
to the place with a they and they don't want to relinquish control in an under
any circumstances
when they had the elections and
nineteen ninety
%uh it's hard to know what they were thinking because swim in the country
voted democratic
the an l_d_ nationally of democracy and it was called
%uh
people are taken by surprise and of course he didn't let they didn't let
that %um
that party takeover control of the government
this is the was the area and you know
in a moment
%uh
basically want to keep control of country controlled the economics of the
country
make sure that they stay in power
and his and he says state systematically going about destroying infrastructure of
all these different ethnic states
with long term
suit you can't make sure that happens so what does the u_s_ campaign for burma
you go
trying to do with the kind regards
and our renewal website u_s_ campaign for burma dot org
%uh what's the effort there
but i think it's sister commission the anyway
to make %um the world more conscious complex transpiring
the fact that despues
an extraordinary puedo act catastrophic
situation
the the
the population burma
is about fifty two million seventy five percent of the people in burma live
below the poverty line
%uh the that's enough children to fit in with christopher reeve for recruitment
into the army
and is got causes
as young as seven
seven their the interior of the air force a joint military academies at
eleven thirty times
%um rate
is stayin of it
tacitly approved
%uh whiteboard mummies of operation
%um both video to did find entertainment for the troops and as as a means of
ethnic cleansing
the more
scott babies are born there
half berm berman
%uh and less
full-blooded karen ordered or any of the other states
the the more they are whittling away at the infrastructure of the state's of you
know %uh in masculine their cultures and making sure that they can't
come together
to %uh to form any kind of %uh protest
against the government so used only when i was also the %uh aspect of resources
even on
my first got involved in them
or a pure burma but ten years ago when unocal as billing a pipeline
%uh
using forced labor
%uh at the hands of %uh in the military's guns
so that's part of the reason that this ethnic cleansing is also going on is
because the taking over resources
%uh at at orange
can keep his part of it but i think it's mainly oil
or gas
so insisting stories see all over the all over the world by i actually know
little a little bit about as well get it
friend of mine from the army and from college who keeps trying to get me out
because of urine snuggles madison
across the border from pile into theatre and he told me that
that they had the people
literally chain
to the pipeline
but all the way to china
but you would drive starvation came to the pipeline but also you chained to it
to prevent people from your own ethnic group
blowing up a pipeline
also we buy a lot of stuff in this country that's actually made
manufactured in burma
yeah that's absolutely outrageous well now %uh at least officially
time professionally done without officially by him right below the
products from troops on glasses too
tell your friends your car
made in burma and they're they're shipped out for chinese companies
because the train the %uh clinton congress
which have
prohibited the differently further investment american companies in
and to give you a and saturday
when i say this and
congress
%um which doesn't look which is not allowed
%uh product into this country the debate program barbara one product
from burma into this country
%uh we have been doing a u
relatively
good job of
%uh making our protest leading our protest some balls nema no
well that's a good note ended on an
but never did say that u_s_ campaign for burma dot or for more information on how
you know well than help up to
alter canning an educated so much for your son here it is really appreciate it
