At the recent American Humanist Association conference in Chicago, we spoke with John de Lancie, an actor best known for his portrayal of “Q” on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager.
De Lancie has also appeared on Breaking Bad and The West Wing. In September, he filmed a video for the Openly Secular campaign.
So what happens when two people who have never watched Star Trek get a chance to interview him on extremely short notice? We talk about the current golden age of television, what defines a great actor, and whether we need to use labels like “Humanist” at all.
