And now he plays Captain Liam Shaw in the new season of “Picard.” On this episode, he talks about how the little boy “Star Trek” fan in him leapt for joy when he sat in his captain’s chair for the first time, while the “all business” actor in him had to focus on the work at hand. Plus we discuss his “resting villain face,” he shares his secret approach to auditioning, the importance of knowing your character’s role in the story, and much more.
