Michael Berryman Never Stops Smiling

Michael Berryman has an unmistakable look that has served him well for decades in Hollywood. His one-of-a-kind face helped him land two gigs in the Star Trek universe, but his career is certainly one where you've seen the man plenty of times, and now you get to know his story. Berryman was a Starfleet communications officer in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," and then Captain Rixx in the first season "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode, "Conspiracy," where he played the first on-screen Bolian.  Michael tells us about his early days, being discovered in an antique store by George Pal, his first gig in "Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze," stories from "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" with Jack Nicholson and Louise Fletcher, and the connection to the original Star Trek series with makeup artist Fred Phillips.
