Sean Kenney
|
In 1965 the film industry in Los Angeles was a wonderful mix of trend setting television series, imaginative theatre, excellent drama coaches and experimental independent films. The climate and opportunities were perfect for Sean to display his acting abilities.
Shortly after finding a manager, Sean met with Gene Roddenberry, who was looking for the right actor to play an important role in "The Menagerie", the only two-part episode of the Star Trek series. Sean won the role of Captain Pike, and this character, as well as the Hugo Award - winning episode, is still considered one of the most popular of the Star Trek series. And that was only the beginning. |
