He played Q in three different incarnations of Star Trek, but now he's teaching students.
John de Lancie spent a few weeks recently teaching high school students in Oklahoma the art of acting.
"I roll out of bed, go and teach, have a little something to eat for lunch, go and teach, and have a little something for dinner, and listen to lectures," de Lancie told The Oklahoman's Brandy McDonnell. "So, I'm arts-immersed, just like the kids."
Believe it or not, the man who helped introduce a new generation of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the pilot episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" back in 1987, is now 61 years old. Yet, he still has energy, "just like the kids."
"When you're teaching young kids, a lot of them just haven't done this ... and they certainly haven't done it at a level with somebody like myself who is coming from the point of view of saying, 'Listen, this [is] how [it's] done and let me explain to you and show you," de Lancie said. "There's no coddling here because we're putting up a show and it's being done very quickly." -- [The Oklahoman]
Aint this funny. GTO
