Are you still sold op Star Trek: Lower Decks? This introduction to the heroes of the show (and the actors behind them) might help you to make up your mind.
The crew of the USS Cerritos goes far above the bridge men. Meet the ensigns who do the dirty work and get no credit in this video from CBS All Access, which has short interviews with each member of the cast and also shares a bit about the character they play. Meet Beckett Mariner, played by Tawny Newsome, Brad Boimler, played by Jack Quaid, Ensign Rutherford, played by Eugene Cordero, and Ensigh Tendi, played by Noël Wells.
What’s fun about this particular set of characters is the way they do a good job of balancing modern comedy tropes with the wonder and optimism at the core of Trek. They are goofy, funny characters, but they, you know, believe in magic. And that makes them pretty compelling to learn about, and is a good example of the kind of fun you find Lower Decks.
Star Trek: Lower Decks appears Thursday on CBS All Access, exclusively in United States.
