ENTERPRISE actor Connor Trinneer speaks with Zap2it about his character's changes for the new season of the show, debuting Wednesday on UPN. He says although anger at the death of his sister will be a part of what 'Trip's wearing on his sleeve this year, audiences should look forward to some well-rounded development.

"It's another layer to play, but I don't know if it's necessarily a change," Trinneer says. "It's just seeing how he deals with it. He's definitely angry about it. He's everything about it. He's sad, angry -- he's going to mourn her death. But making him one-dimensionally angry would be a mistake, and they're not doing that."

He also added some information about the evolution of his character's relationship with Jolene Blalock's 'T'Pol'.

"T'Pol's character has a lot of ability controlling emotion, and they begin to form a connection with one another dealing with that, that may or may not evolve into something a little more interesting."

One direction Trinneer says he's glad to veer away from as Trip develops is his portrayal as sort of a "Southern bumpkin."

"Honestly, after a certain point, I thought it was hokey," he says. "Come on, you're going to make me play the harmonica? I just got a little tired of dealing with the country-bumpkin aspect of this really smart engineer who's out in space. I thought, 'Come on, let's knock this off, or at least have a little more imagination for it.'... If I'm going to have pan-fried catfish for my favorite meal -- why don't you go the other direction and make him really good at Steak Diane or something? That's interesting."
