Old convention snippets from an old edition of Starburst magazine featuring Sid and Andy
Top Right, Andrew Robinson on kissing an alien:
"When Melanie [Smith, who plays Ziyal] kissed our rubber masks got caught and as our heads came away from each other our lips locked, like a big wad of gum. It pulled and then snapped. I begged them not to reshoot it, as it was the Cardassian kiss, but they did it."
Bottom Left, Alexander Siddig on the end of Deep Space Nine:
"I know one of the executive producers on Deep Space Nine doesn't want the station to be around after the show is over. He wants the station to be somewhere else, in some other sphere, smashed or destroyed. He had an interesting point about that. It's not the fact that he doesn't want this thing to be there as a symbol of what Deep Space Nine was, but he doesn't want some other show coming along, that is obviously Star Trek related, and just moving in!"
Bottom Right, Andrew Robinson on Garak:
"In the episode I just finished doing what I'm really pleased at is that Garak is a real pain, which is the way I want it. There was a time last season when I was afraid he was going to turn into old uncle Harry, smoking his pipe and dispensing sage advise."
“In the episode I just finished doing what I’m really pleased at is that Garak is a real pain, which is the way I want it.”
Oh, Andy - never change.
