"To be honest with you I didn't know that was going to be the deal," Trinneer says. "I didn't know that they were modeling Archer-T'Pol-Trip after Kirk-Spock-McCoy from the original series. When I opened up the pilot script I really had no clue that I'd have the size of role that I do. It was a little bit nerve-wracking but it was also a challenge and I'm up for any challenge. So it was nice."

The actor says he hopes to get an episode where Trip can explore a quieter, introspective side.

"I'm curious to see some of his stillness," he explains. "I'd like to see him in a quiet moment. I'd like to see Trip have to handle a situation internally, personally, singularly and give it the time. I don't know if that will ever happen, but I think that would be rather fascinating. You get so much of the other side of him, but the pendulum swings in both directions, always, and I'd like to see the other side."

Linda Park spoke with the San Jose Mercury News on Wednesday about her acting dreams and the ENTERPRISE gig. Park says her mother initially suggested that becoming an actress might be easier in South Korea than Hollywood.

"I felt that I'm a Korean-American and America was my home, so I should be able to follow my dream here,'' Park says. ``And once somebody tells me I can't do something, then I'm going to do it, and just watch me do it.''

The young actress says she hopes she can inspire women of ethnicity to follow their dreams in America.

"Maybe it helps other mothers or young girls or young boys who want to pursue this dream, but feel like the color of their skin will make it too hard.''
