I wanted to play something a bit different, like a Ferengi or something. I didn’t want to play a singer because I am a singer. Who else would have written episodes about 1950s era holographic singers in Star Trek? When they first asked me about playing Vic in Star Trek, I thought they were kidding. Ira is not only extremely brave and brilliant, but he pushes the envelope. James Darren: You know, I was never given a head’s up. When did you learn that the episode would focus on your character Vic Fontaine? “Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang” is a very unique installment of Star Trek. : Thanks for taking the time to chat with us, James.
