At Jeff Hunter"s home somewhere in Hollywood Hills .1965.
Actor Jeffrey hunter reads a script for a potential t.v. piolet . its about a show called Star Trek a unique name for a show.
Hunter thought to himself.
right now he just got done doing a western series Temple Huston it was just canceled and Hunter needs to go back to work..
Back ground on Star Trek.
Gene Roddenberry before creating star trek .Roddenberry wrote Have gun will travel .the lieutenant for television.
Roddenberry told NBC. producers
Jeff Hunter sat in his couch ,in his Los Angeles apartment Leonard Nimby was the only actor besides himself to go from the piolet to series. Majel was given a new role by Gene Roddenberry. George Takei. Nichelle Nichols .
Deforest Kelly. Andrea Dromm were all pleasant to work with. But Hunter was a movie star that worked with John Wayne in the searchers. Played Jesus in kings of king's not to mention playing the lead in sergeant Rutledge,
what the hell was he doing playing a star ship captain
named Christopher Pike week after week? only time could give Hunter the answer to that question.
Andre Dromm stays on as cast member. Walter Koenig. will not have Beatles haircut.
The star trek series was to be on NBC . since CBS turned down Star Trek they felt Lost in space was enough science fiction.
Star Trek was wagon train to the stars. his mistress and soon to be wife Majel Barrett was going to play number one the Enterprise first officer.in first draft it was going to be the u.s.s. Endeavor. in final draft it would later change to u.s.s. Enterprise.
Also.in first draft the Enterprise skipper was captain Robert April. later changed to captain Christopher Pike.
loyed Bridges was invited to play captain Pike in the piolet. the cage.
Audiences thrilled to loyed in the adventure of sea hunt but bridges was not interested. next Jeffrey Hunter was asked he. Accepted.
In this period in time movie actors did not do television and Jeff hunter considered himself a movie actor..
Hunter wasn't sure about doing star trek but watched President Johnson talking about space exploration in 1965.
what started with piolet known as the cage ended up with a very popular movie franchise.
the actors going along for the ride weren't always sure what would happen next.
