When de Lancie received the decision from his agent, he was somewhat confused. Evidently, the actor was so out of the loop that he wasn’t fairly certain the place “Star Trek” was in its manufacturing. In 1986, Leonard Nimoy’s “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Residence” would have been taking the world by storm, and it is doable that de Lancie thought his agent was referring to that when he made the next feedback:
“[My agent] stated, ‘You’ve got an audition tomorrow at 4:30, and it is for … gee, there should be a typo, it is simply the letter Q. And it is for “Star Trek.”‘ And I went, ‘”Star Trek?” I believed they did “Star Trek.”‘ ‘Properly, they’re doing it once more.’ I did not go as a result of I used to be rehearsing a play, and I used to be one of many leads.”
De Lancie did not say what play he was rehearsing for, however it was too essential to overlook. One doesn’t merely skip out on a play rehearsal, leaving the manufacturing in a lurch. That may be unprofessional. It additionally appears that de Lancie’s agent booked his audition for “Star Trek” nonetheless, regardless that he hadn’t technically agreed to go. As such, de Lancie stayed on stage. It would not be till a while had handed that his agent would phone once more, this time undoubtedly miffed, about “Star Trek” once more.
De Lancie, maybe simply to placate his agent, determined to go and test it out. Evidently it might go fairly effectively. Quite a bit can come from simply attempting to fulfill an agent.
