Scott Bakula talks with Scr(i)pt Magazine about his work as a producer and of course his role as 'Captain Archer' in ENTERPRISE. Bakula says he tried to use models from his own life to help develop the persona for STAR TREK's newest captain.

"I've known a lot of military men and women in my life, and certainly this guy is a military guy. So I incorporated certain mannerisms there," he told the magazine." "[I asked myself] 'what kind of military guy is he?' I knew his dad was part of the back story and worked off what I had in the script. Then I did my own creative stuff. And again, I tend to be relatively organic as an actor, as I read a scene more and as I ready the script more, I get a sense [of the character], and of how this guy his going to resonate."

The actor says he thinks his character has take some important strides since stepping into space last fall: "I think he started out pretty tightly wound, very guarded, emotionally tight. It was his life's dream to be able to take this ship out. There was so much [that emotionally] led to it, his dad's involvement, his dad not being there to see it launched, the Vulcan involvement, which he had huge issues with at the time. I think the big difference is that he's commanded Enterprise for a year, and he's loosened up a lot. And [concerning] his precious ship, he's allowed other people to share in that moment with him a little bit, I think; he was pretty selfish about it in the beginning, but now he's become a little more universal and global as he's started to travel."

As for where Archer and the series are going, Bakula says the writers and producers aren't divulging any secrets to him: "[...] some of it's a mystery to me - a lot of the elements of the series are a mystery to me. They haven't divulged to me what's going to happen or where we're going with things. And in a way, that's fine because Archer wouldn't know anyway."
