Catch Up With Garrett Wang!
October 15, 2024
Garrett Wang, Harry Kim from Star Trek: Voyager, is setting sail with us on Star Trek: The Cruise VIII! Don’t miss your chance to see him in person and hear his amazing stories. Check out his exclusive Q&A and get ready for an incredible adventure with one of Voyager’s stars!
The Voyager 25th anniversary cast reunion on Star Trek: The Cruise IV was epic. Now, with Robert and Roxann along too, what’s your secret plan to top it?
The 30th Anniversary cruise reunion will top the 25th Anniversary reunion simply because we will have Robert Beltran joining us! Also, for the rest of the actors who were there for the first reunion, we are now both wiser and funnier than before.
We met young Ensign Kim in “Caretaker” as such a serious young officer. Do you think seven years of Voyager’s odyssey and Tom Paris’ influence left him able to relax on a 24th-century cruise, finally, by the time he got back to Earth?
Yes, the long arduous journey back to Earth, combined with street savvy Tom Paris’s guidance and friendship have definitely made it possible for Ensign Kim to relax on a 24th-century cruise.
Is there anything still on your bucket list of cruise experiences you hope to have?
I have had a wealth of wonderful experiences on the various Trek cruises I’ve been a guest on. I suppose it’s not a bucket list item per se, but I would like to suggest a new game show: Trek Family Feud with different Trek shows competing with each other.
What would 2025 Garrett tell 1995 Garrett about what to treasure, or how to relax?
2025 Garrett would tell 1995 Garrett to treasure the time spent with family and friends. In regard to advice on how to relax, my number one piece of advice would be to start practicing yoga. I attended my first yoga class in 2023 and now I wish I had started in 1995.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
As a child, I wanted to be an impressionist/comedian like Rich Little.
List out some of your favorites! Music, book, food, color, etc.
Favorite Music: I enjoy all genres of music, but EDM is my all-time favorite with Trance being the subset. Dutch artists such as Armin Van Buuren and Tiësto rank high on my list.
Favorite Food: Japanese, Chinese, Middle Eastern, Mexican. I’m pescatarian.
Favorite cities I’ve visited: Prague, Amsterdam (where I fell in love with EDM), and Reykjavik.
