My movie debut is here!

[inbhirnis]

No - I didn't get a role in one of 'those' amateur movies.... ;-)

I'm talking about my (very) small part in a Star Trek fanfilm created by a group called "Hidden Frontier", in collaboration with my Scottish Trek friends at "USS Intrepid" who have made their own movies.

The production is called "Operation Beta Shield", and while it is a bit 'insider-Trekkie', and perhaps a wee bit heavy on techno-babble, I think their production is pretty epic, and for an operation run out of someone's house, looks pretty darn good. I make a teeny appearance at about 13:30, then my scene where I utter two sentences of techno-babble and look very nervous is at about 17:00.

Enjoy!

Not quite up to low_fat_muffin acting standards, but, hey - it was my first time!

Thanks, capthunter for getting me a little role in it. I didn't have to do the casting couch treatment to get it, either - darn! ;-)

Oh my goodness. You look, um...wonderful in that trek outfit... Teal, really a good colour for you.... Ok...I'll shut up now.


Me: "Captain Picard, Officer Inbhirnis and I are going to Holodeck 3 for a nude oil wrestling match."

Jean Luc Picard: "Make it so."

Yeah, about that whole casting couch thing. Matt Montgomery mentioned a restraining order or something. ;)

Downloading it.... NOW! :)

What?

I only called him, like 60 times a day, and hung around outside his apartment - what's his problem? ;-)

[bear-left.livejournal.com]

As in, inbhirnis is ordered to use restraints?

Hmmm, there's a use of the tractor beam I've never considered...

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Well - hope you enjoy me in yellow in this one... :-) I have a different uniform on.

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Oooh - sounds like something to use in my non-PG rated 'alternate universe' script, where everyone has a goatee and 'agonizers' are used frequently... ;-)

[bear-left.livejournal.com]

Then there's the Trill count-the-spots game... plus I bet the Bajoran noses might feel good in some places...

Do you like Trek/scifi?

If so, you might also like to visit Star TreK: Phase II (http://www.startreknewvoyages.com/) - they seem to have access to a sizeable budget - and have gotten some of the original series actors to take part. It's pretty impressive stuff.

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Oh - behave! ;-)

[bear-left.livejournal.com]

But you know how innocent I am!

[capthunter.livejournal.com]

Innocent like er..... someone that's not very innocent.

[capthunter.livejournal.com]

I heard it was 600. ;)

[bear-left.livejournal.com]

My personal cloaking device must be malfunctioning... :)

[capthunter.livejournal.com]

I think it's non-existant. :)

*sneaks away into Quark's holosuite*

[paterson-si.livejournal.com]

I SAW YOU! :)

And I am not much of a TV fan in general, so it's hard to really get me excited. :) (for TV stuff that is LOL)

[capthunter.livejournal.com]

And don't forget to clean up afterwards. I slipped and almost broke my neck last time.

[starzinked.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh, this is groovy cool
i cant wait to watch these and see your appearance

bravo to you and all those who just dove in and did a really neat thing that brings them fun!!!

[square-baker.livejournal.com]

Congrats Roy! Next thing you'll be in a Big Finish audio!

[artsycub.livejournal.com]

Can I have your autograph? Signing a nude photo of yourself would be great.
;-)

[bearzendurham.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THIS! I'm especially impressed with the soundtrack, and the story and acting are great! Thanks for sharing. I'm totally hooked.

. . . and I would totally served under your Captain.

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Well, thank you! I think my delivery was pretty shaky, but it was my very first 'acting' experience - unless you count my two other stage outings - a bumble bee at the age of 6, and a soldier in our 'interpretation' of The Nutcracker Suite at the age of 10 or so.... :-)

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Well, capthunter and his wife (who is also in the scene with me) are visiting me at the end of the month.

I'll ask him if he has a position for you..

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Such a naughty boy - and thank you! :-)

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Thanks - it was a lot of fun! I was thrilled to be asked to take part.

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Did you manage to understand our Scottish accents? :-)

[paterson-si.livejournal.com]

Of course. Mostly LOL

[badgerpdx.livejournal.com]

I totally second that. You could be "son of Scotty!" (The inexplanably far cuter son...)

[capthunter.livejournal.com]

I'm always open to new positions. I've also lost almost a stone in weight since this was shot.

Jus' sayin'. :)

[inbhirnis.livejournal.com]

Wow! Good for you! I can't claim such success... :-(

[capthunter.livejournal.com]

Well I've been very, very good lately. :)

You know, I think I downloaded one of the episodes of this. I remember eating beef-n-bleu-cheese salad while watching it, and now fan-made Trek makes me think of beef n bleu. Weird.
