Tawny Newsome Q&A
February 3, 2025
Get ready for an exclusive Q&A with Tawny Newsome from Star Trek: Lower Decks! As the voice behind Beckett Mariner, Tawny brings a unique energy to the Star Trek universe. Now, she’s answering questions about the show, her time in the Star Trek family, and what she’s most excited for on Star Trek: The Cruise!
What are you most looking forward to on Star Trek: The Cruise VIII?
Exciting scientific advancements in hangover prevention. I’ve heard “not drinking” is making waves in the scientific community but I’m skeptical of this one.
You were a fan fave on Star Trek: The Cruise VII. What surprised you the most about your first Star Trek: The Cruise? And what are some of your favorite memories from that cruise?
I just love seeing people in ridiculous costumes twerking. Godzilla twerking. Spock twerking. That’s all I need.
We know you’re an amazing actor, what other talents do you have that we don’t know about?
I can decently play the drums.
How has your experience on Star Trek influenced you as an individual?
I love the community that Star Trek has given me. Beyond coworkers, beyond friends, even beyond family. It’s an interconnectedness that, if I play my cards right, I’ll be part of for the rest of my life.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Liv Tyler in Empire Records.
List out some of your favorites! Music, book, food, color, etc.
Stevie Wonder! Talking Heads! This new Doechii is everything!
What’s your favorite way to spend a weekend?
Hiking big mountains and eating hot foods at the end of it with a beautiful view.
