Scott Bakula, who plays Capt. Jonathan Archer in UPN's upcoming Star Trek series, Enterprise, told SCI FI Wire that he's interested in writing and directing future episodes once the show gets off the ground. "Possibly," Bakula said in an interview. Series co-creator "Rick [Berman] is wonderful that way. Not all executive producers in this town are. My last ... [Quantum Leap executive producer Donald P.] Bellisario was that way. But Rick has been very forthcoming."
Bakula added, "He knows that I direct. But I really want to get my feet firmly on the ground here and devote all my attention to this first season and getting a solid start. I really want the show to be great and not worry about anything else right now." Enterprise premieres on UPN on Sept. 26.

So is Scott not a co-producer after all? The rumor was that he was holding out for more creative control or something, which could be good.
If nothing else, hopefully the writers will be more driven to keep the quality up, as Bakula probably isn't under the usual 4year contract and could split at any time if he wanted, so they gotta keep him happy.
Then again, as much as I enjoyed Quantum Leap, it wasn't always breathtakingly original either. Sometimes it was just shy of Touched by an Angel-sappy.

...know whether Bakula is any good as a writer or director? (I've seen enough QL to be impressed with his acting, but I don't know much more.)
