Happy Birthday George Takei!
I have been swamped with work but I'm certainly not going to pass up the chance to give well wishes to actor and poltical actvist George Takei. He was one of the most visible Asian-American actors in the '60s as Sulu on Star Trek, part of the ground breaking multi-ethnic cast of the show. He's ran for Los Angeles City Council, been an aid to L.A. mayor Tom Bradley and now fights for equality for the LGBT community. All that and one of the richest voices in Hollywood.
Some of Sulu's greatest hits:
The Naked Time on The Original Series: This episode's title may have multiple meanings as its most memorable moment is Sulu showing off some topless fencing.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock: In one of the most exciting sequences in franchise history Kirk and his crew have to steal their own ship, the USS Enterprise! Sulu kicks some ass to do what needs to be done. Don't call him shorty!
Flashback on Star Trek: Voyager: Meet Captain Sulu of the USS Excelsior!
