DK's interview in the new Star Trek mag

Pensive — Thu, 08 May 2008 12:38:12 GMT

[h1]Phasing In the Future[/h1]
During the three years since production wrapped on [i]Star Trek: Enterprise[/i], the cast have been seen in numerous different projects—and one face that keeps appearing is that of Dominic Keating, aka uptight Brit Malcolm Reed. He was even up for a reappearance in the [i]Star Trek[/i] universe, as he explains to Ian Spelling…

"[b][size="+2"]E[/size][/b][i]nterprise[/i] was time well spent, without a doubt," Dominic Keating says, "How do I look back on it? Very fondly. Yes, that's the right term. And with great appreciation. I grew up as an actor on that show. I became a seasoned television and film actor, or whatever you want to call it, and it shows now. When I go off and do guest star roles and films, I know the meat and measure of a set, and I'm 'home' as it were. I know how to pace the day. I'm just more professional now. I'm less the eager pup needing direction… Not to say I won't take it. I know my place in the scheme of it all and I'm happy to fulfill that, to get on with it and take the free lunch."

Keating traversed the galaxy for four seasons on [i]Star Trek: Enterprise[/i] as Lt. Malcolm Reed. After a highly rated premiere, the show struggled to maintain traction. Despite a third season injection of action courtesy the Xindi and MACOs, as well as a widely hailed fourth season that tapped into [i]The Original Series[/i] for inspiration and storylines, UPN chose not to renew the series for a fifth year and it ended in 2005 after 98 episodes. "I was not an aficionado of the lore of [i]Star Trek[/i] at all," Keating notes. "I watched some of the episodes growing up, but that was it. I did understand that some of the liberties that Brannon [Braga]and Rick [Berman] had taken in our first three seasons, which trod somewhat heavily on the past lore of [i]Star Trek[/i], were nice and neatly bowed up and sent off in a package in the fourth season by Manny Coto, so that it looked like they were actually intended. Clearly he had a grasp of the genre and the show itself was right at his fingertips.

"The one thing I noticed in season four, and no detriment to Brannon or Rick, was that we had a guy given the pole position, who was absolutely gagging for it," Keating adds. "The lifeblood that came into the fourth season was palpable, and you saw it and felt it, whereas Rick and Brannon had been writing [i]Star Trek[/i] for 15 or 16 years. Give a guy a brand-new job, who's ready to do it, and he's going to be gung-ho—and that's what Manny Coto was. And it showed.

"It's a shame. I would have loved to do another year or two. If we'd kept going, it would have been last spring that we ended. We would have had a year out by now. Wouldn't that have been something? I would have paid off my house."

Considering the circumstances, Keating explains that he never felt cheated. He knew and accepted that he was not the show's star. "I think they did me pretty well," he says. "Most of these shows have a history of a triumvirate leading the charge, and we had Scott [Bakula], Connor [Trinneer], and Jolene [Blalock] in those three star positions. I really though I got a good ite of the apple the rest of the time. I liked my schedule, too. I enjoyed my days off. I would have liked maybe three episodes a year that were really just mine. I usually got one and then a lot of really good B-stories. But, otherwise, I have no regrets about any part of the storyline. Reed got to be quite the complex, multi-layered character."

Since the show ended, Keating has maintained friendships with several of his co-stars. He had spoken at length of Anthony Montgomery the day before this interview. Trinneer lives around the corner from him, but the two men have seen less of each other since Trinneer and his wife started a family. Keating recently caught Bakula's performance in a Los Angeles production of the play [i]Quality of Life[/i]. "It's nice to stay in touch," he says. "We all got on well during the show and it was a good experience. I talk to John Billingsley a bit and we see each other at conventions. I don't see the girls, really. So we're pretty tight still."

Keating has remained busy post-[i]ST:ENT[/i]. He's guest starred on [i]Las Vegas, Heroes,[/i] and [i]Prison Break[/i], and has appeared in the films [i]Hollywood Kills, Certifiably Jonathan, Species: The Awakening, [/i] and [i]Beowulf[/i], as well as the short film [i]Plugged[/i], written and directed by former [i]Star Trek: Voyager[/i] star Tim Russ.

He played the Irish mobster Will in four episodes of [i]Heroes[/i], the mysterious Andrew Tyge in two installments of [i]Prison Break[/i], and Old Cain with Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich in [i]Beowulf[/i]. "It's been pretty good, mate," Keating enthuses. "I have kept working, which is the main thing. I've done some high-profile work in among some filler. I had stints on [i]Heroes[/i] and [i]Prison Break[/i] over the summer, then [i]Beowulf[/i] came out. I did a couple of low-budget movies, and I met a lovely girl on one of them who's now ensconced in my life. So, pretty good. The strike was a bit tricky, but I managed to go home to England and pick up a guest star on [i]Holby City[/i], the English equivalent of [i]E.R.[/i] I did that in January. Now I'm back in Los Angeles and waiting to see what happens with pilot season."

Keating enjoyed his experience on [i]Beowulf[/i]--to a certain extent. "That was quite fun," he says. "It was motion capture, so we wore these slightly ridiculous leotards. I didn't look too bad in mine, but the costume queens gave is stretchy bits around our bums, front bums, and armpits, so we could move in these things, because otherwise they're very thick. It's not like stretchy Lycra; it's quite hardcore because they've got to have lots of swatches to stick the silver balls on that the cameras pick up. Ray Winstone, who I've known for 25 years, had basic blue. Malkovich had a muted maroon. And the costume queens did Day-Glo palm trees on me! I had these fluorescent palm trees all over my ***.

"I met Angelina in the makeup room one day. We were getting our faces dotted and got chatting, and she couldn't stop looking down at my crotch. I finally pointed at my eyes with two fingers and said, 'I'm here love. I'm here'. I saw the film, and it came out pretty good. Unfortunately, my part got a bit cut, which was quite upsetting. I was very surprised: the storyline of Old Cain is so integral to the downfall of Beowulf, but hopefully that'll be put back in for the DVD.

"[i]Heroes[/i] was fun. Milo Ventimiglia was very nice, and he was the Hero we worked with. There was a lovely English actress on it called Katie Carr, and the chap playing my mob boss, Holy McCallany, was really fun. We had a hoot. It was a shame we didn't get to do more. I watched the first six shows, just because we were in it, and actually I thought the[sic] of all the new storylines, the Irish one was the most interesting.

"[i]Prison Break[/i] was fun as well. Down in Dallas it's hotter than Hell. That set in the courtyard of the prison is like an oven. It's nothing but corrugated iron, four walls and, with humidity, it was probably 108-110 degrees. But it was very nice. I did two episodes and I got to play some golf in the country clubs around and about with a couple of the executive producers. "

Finally, in a fascinating development, Keating nearly added another [i]Star Trek[/i] project to his CV. He auditioned for a part in J.J. Abrams' upcoming [i]Star Trek[/i] feature. "It was to play Jim Kirk's uncle in the Midwest, where Jim grows up, before deciding to be a spaceman," Keating reveals. "I only got to read one scene. I know I have it a good read. I didn't say anything at the time, but I'm sure, even if they'd liked me, they'd go, 'Well, who is this guy?' They'd say, 'Oh, he played a part in [i]Star Trek[/i]…' And then it'd be, 'No.' So that's not going to happen. Would have been fun. [b]/\[/b]

See Dominic in Heroes on Thursday!

Dominic's new film

DomCat — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 02:12:44 GMT

I've just seen that Dominic's in a new film called Foreign Policy playing a character called Ninong and the film's in post-production for a 2008 release. :D

Any more details on what it's about? Will it be in cinemas or is it a straight to DVD film?

Important Question

Songmorning — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 17:10:08 GMT

Is Dominic a Christian?

what does star trek mean to u?

Phoenix — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:48:30 GMT

(i admit to taking this from the linda park forums, this is originally cassus idea not mine)

I grew up watching TOS when i was a kid (yes, we're a bit outdated here in ireland) and during my teenage years i watched TNG. Though to be honest I didn't really become much of a ST fan until Enterprise, as a female fan the one thing that always struck me about all the ST series(s?) was that the creator(s), writers, producers etc always pushed forward with the female characters, they didn't just make them as a character who was a pretty face, but they made them with depth and they actually knew what they were doing. They showed over the many years of ST that a woman could achieve anything she wanted to.

[b]favorite character[/b]: well considering this is the DK forum I'd say it'd be obvious who mine was. I liked Reed because he reminded me a lot (in some cases to much) of myself. Not many knew much about him and he didn't talk a lot about himself. He also didn't make friends easily, but the ones he did were very important to him.

Holiday Project - what happened?

DomCat — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 08:39:29 GMT

I know it's a while ago now but I'm curious and other people probably are too! Did the actors receive their presents/cards and greetings and are there any pics?

Sad news about Lekha

DomCat — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 03:11:59 GMT

This is part of an email from Lega's sister in law:

" Hi

I found your email address when looking through my sister-in law's (Lega, some know her as Lekha) computer address book.

Unfortunately, Lega passed away on 5th December 2007. She was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer on 5th November 2007 and sadly, the disease was so advanced by the time it was diagnosed, she was too ill to have remedial treatments.

I know she was an avid "Trekkie" and as such, belonged to several websites and forum rooms.

Thank you for being her friends and giving her so many happy hours of conversation."

Terri

You'll be sadly missed Lega......

Dominic's interview

DomCat — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:25:15 GMT

There's a fantastic interview with Dominic in the latest TV Zone magazine #224. He talks about Heroes, his Irish accent........and pointy shoes :hehe: (read the interview and you'll understand!)

He says about his time on Prison Break too.......how he got flu 2 days before he started filming but it looks terrific on screen!

It's a funny, warm interview, which is what you'd expect from him and he has some great stories about filming both series!

Dominic Keating was on Prison Break on Fox...

KrySTYLE — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 19:11:05 GMT

Dear DK fans, DK was on a couple episodes of the show Prison Break on channel Fox 5. DK played a new prisoner, he was a newbie. Yeah DK played the new guy on prison break for only a couple episodes. He had a very small role on the show for only a couple episodes, but yeah it was defintley DK! Lol. To find out which episodes of Prison Break DK was on, and to watch them online go to these two websites: www.tv.yahoo.com & www.fox.com/prisonbreak/. Check out Prison Break's fan site @: www.prisonbreak-online.com/.

I really hope that I won't get in trouble with the forum admin for posting these links. Really I mean no harm, all I was trying to do was to tell DK fans about him being on Prison Break that's all. If I have offended any of the forum administers or broken any rules, on this forum by posting my links, then I sincerely apologize. Thank you for your time.

Where's the "here's what went down.."?

I did get to go myself through the phone, how amazing that was, but for like two minutes. :P So other than that while everyone was having a great party, here I sat, working on a web page for someone else, while getting an image of Dominic in my head every time I typed in new code. And.. some other crazy stuff that happens while I work on html. Finally got the page ready, but the host site's down. Go figure. :angry:

I want to go to a con besides Vegas! :p

Golf with Dominic Keating for Charity!!

FansForLife — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 11:07:31 GMT

Celebrities Team Up With Followers For Fun, Sun, Charity, And A Little Golf Too!

July 11, 2007/Ventura, CA -- Fans For Life is sponsoring a Celebrity Golf Tournament at the Scholl Canyon Golf Club in Glendale, CA on Saturday, October 6, 2007 to benefit the AIDS Service Center of Pasadena (and other selected charities). Foursomes consisting of one genre celebrity and three fans will play eighteen holes in a scramble format. Tee times will start at 8 a.m with driving range time and lunch included, and a spectator's gallery will be available at selected locations on the course. An awards banquet and auction will be held in the evening, where fans will be able to visit with a celebrity at their dinner table and bid on items in a live auction.

Confirmed participants at this time include actors John Billingsley (Star Trek Enterprise), Dominic Keating (Star Trek Enterprise, upcoming Heroes), Connor Trinneer (Stargate Atlantis, Star Trek Enterprise), and Garrett Wang (Star Trek Voyager), along with Garret Maggart (The Sentinel), Claudia Christian (Babylon 5), and Spencer Garrett (I-Man). Marc B. Lee will serve as the Master of Ceremonies.

The Aids Service Center provides services and advocacy for individuals throughout LA County impacted by and at risk from HIV/AIDS - According to John Billingsley, who serves on ASC's Board, he's looking forward to participating "because the money goes to a terrific organization and it's a wonderful opportunity to publicly humiliate myself".

Come out and golf with the stars you love best from your favorite television shows and movies! After a hard day at the links, you can relax with the actors at our awards banquet and charity auction.
