‘United with Trek’ Star Trek Day in support of WGA & SAG/AFTRA

By Commander Chirstopher Mulrooney

We promote “Star Trek” with our club, the USS Angeles, but we wouldn’t have “Star Trek” without the talent of writers and the actors. So I was there when “United with Trek” on Star Trek Day took place Sept. 8 at Paramount Studios on the 57th anniversary of the first “Star Trek” broadcast in 1966.
As you might be aware, I’ve done some background acting in various shows through the years as well as taken part in a “Star Trek” fan movie “Renegades” several years ago. I signed up and enlisted to assist on part with SAG/AFTRA. I am non-union but eligible to join.
While taking part in the picket at Paramount Studios’ front and Bronson gates, I took some videos and photos of “Star Trek” cast members. Actors agreed to quick selfies. Most remembered me from various of conventions and events I have attended, so it was a reunion of shorts. I stayed for over a hour at the rally. Down below is a gallery of images from the event as well as a video from our Youtube channel for the USS Angeles. (The WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes were settled in late September and November, respectively.) For more on the rally, see the December issue of Angels Flight, available to USS Angeles members.
