I recently was fortunate enough to attend a charitable fundraiser out in California, and invited at this occassion was numerous Hollywood stars...including Kelsey Grammer.

I approached him and a group who were talking with him, listening to the conversation, when the topic of science fiction arised. I then asked him how was it to appear on 'Star Trek, TNG', and he was thrilled, smiling woth his eyes, talking giddy like schoolgirl being asked out by the football star. He pretty much thought it as a gift to be considered for a role. he said he was and still is abig star of 'Star Trek', and any other sci-fi shows that makes one think, thinking hard, stimulating the imagination. Any show that attacks and expressed any social situations that are prominent in the news and society today.

I ask what shows, and he said, like 'X-Files', 'Outer Limits' and 'SLIDERS'.

I again asked, "Are you a big fan of SLIDERS?"

He responded, with a smile, "Oh Yes, the idea of 'What if' stimulated the imagination to the umpth degree!"

I asked who was his favorite character, and he said "Professor Arturo, I think his dry humor and bolstering attitude. I think I would make a wonderful Arturo, don't you agree?"

I asked one final question, about a movie prospect, and he was thrilled that one can be considered. He said that quite a few of his colleagues are also fans of the show, and he hoped that the series could someday be resolved correctly, with the original cast, "Television writers do amazing things to plots when they use an imagination and the right words!' he chuckled. "And if they made a movie with a new group of actors, I would like to be considered for Arturo. I would do him with honor"

Just wanted to share this tidbit with everyone. I hope you all enjoyed it

keep the faith
