Crew members of the U.S.S. Enterprise--the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, not the starship--will appear in an upcoming episode of UPN's Enterprise, the official Star Trek Web site reported. Aviation Electronic Technician First Class Robert Pickering, Aviation Electrician's Mate Second Class Timothy Whittington and Personnelman Third Class Sara Elizabeth Pizzo will play starship crew members in an episode tentatively titled "Desert Crossings," scheduled to air May 8, the site reported.
Executive producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga extended the invitation to the three crew members, who were selected as "Sailors of the Year" by a Navy committee. Their scenes were shot on March 7. During a break in shooting, the sailors presented Berman and Braga with a specially designed plaque in gratitude for all the support and encouragement the cast, crew and actors of Enterprise have given the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, which was one of the first vessels deployed in the Afghanistan war. Cast members Scott Bakula (Capt. Jonathan Archer) and Connor Trinneer (Cmdr. Trip Tucker) were also on hand for the ceremony, along with a majority of the cast and crew, the site reported.
