From Voyager\u2019s \u201cFlashback\u201d<\/p>\n At STLV Russ helped connect the dots on how Sulu\u2019s crew plays a part, a decade after Khan died:<\/p>\n \u201cI just did voiceover work the story of Khan, and it\u2019s a prequel\u2026 I just voiced the character Tuvok as an ensign. It\u2019s basically a story that hovers around an archeologist who is uncovering the information and relics of that past to figure out the backstory to Khan and how he became Khan in the first place. So it\u2019s a pretty cool piece.\u201d<\/p>\n The archeologist mentioned by Russ is the character Dr. Rosalind Lear (Sonya Cassidy) who can be heard in the teaser (below). So it appears that there is a framing story set on Sulu\u2019s Excelsior around the time of\u00a0 Star Trek VI, and within that framing story is the main story of Khan\u2019s exile.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In February it was revealed<\/a> that production had already wrapped for the series, but it appears that may have only been for the Ceti Alpha V story, featuring Khan (Naveen Andrews), Lt. Marla McGivers (Wrenn Schmidt), and the other exiles. At STLV Russ revealed he \u201cjust did the voice for [Star Trek: Khan] a couple of weeks ago,\u201d so recording on the framing story may have been done just before Comic-Con. Russ also hyped up the audio drama production, saying \u201cIt\u2019s a podcast, fully produced, sound effects, music, all that good stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n Star Trek: Khan debuts on Star Trek Day, 2025, \u00a0September 8. New episodes will be available weekly on Mondays through November 3, wherever you get your podcasts.<\/p>\n Jeri Ryan, Roxann Dawson and Tim Russ at STLV 2025 (Photo: TrekMovie.com\/Jon Spencer)<\/p>\n Russ may find Spaceballs 2<\/p>\n In June we reported<\/a> that the announcement of a sequel to Mel Brooks\u2019 1987 sci-fi spoof Spaceballs could see Tim Russ return in his brief but memorable role as a trooper combing the desert. At STLV, the actor appeared to hint he will indeed be back in Spaceballs 2:<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s possible that I\u2019ll revive the role in the sequel. I know that Mel Brooks is very excited about bringing back all of the original players he can get from the original film, so hopefully I\u2019ll be able to shoot it with him next year sometime.\u201d<\/p>\n His original part is just a few seconds long but his Spaceball trooper\u2019s memorable \u201cWe ain\u2019t found shit!\u201d has followed Russ throughout his career.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Bonus: Russ sings \u201cWe Ain\u2019t Found Shit\u201d<\/p>\n One of the highlights of STLV is the house band, the Star Trek-themed group The Roddenberries. Last December, Russ (who has a band of his own) joined the Roddenberries for a live show in Philadelphia, singing their original song \u201cWe Ain\u2019t Found Shit!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n More STLV 2025<\/p>\n We will have more from the Voyager reunion panel and beyond.
