According
to a Paramount press release, Scott Bakula (best known for his lead role in
Quantum Leap) has signed on to captain the brand new Star Trek show, titled
Enterprise. Golden Globe Award-winning actor
Scott Bakula has signed on to star as Captain Jonathan Archer in the new
Paramount Network Television drama series Enterprise. In addition, Bakula has
extended his first-look development deal with the studio, announced Garry Hart,
president of the Network Television Division of the Paramount Television Group. In the fifth installment of the landmark Star Trek
franchise, Bakula will portray Captain Jonathan Archer, a physical and intensely
curious captain with a bold personality. Although he has a strong sense of duty,
he is a bit of a renegade and is not afraid to question or even disobey them if
he feels in his gut that he is right.
"Obviously, I love the genre and am a long-time fan of Star Trek. I am also
thrilled to be working on a TV series again wtih Kerry McCluggage and Garry
Hart, a relationship that dates back to 1988 with Quantum Leap," says
Bakula. Under his newly extended deal with Paramount Network Television,
Bakula, along with partner Tom Spiroff, will continue to develop projects that
will encompass series, telefilms, features and specials. "We couldn't
be happier," says co-creator and executive producer Rick Berman.
"Scott personifies the charm and intelligence that the role calls
for." The accomplished actor, who appeared in the 1999 Oscar-winning
Best Picture "American Beauty," recently concluded filming the New
Line Cinema feature film "Life As a House," directed and co-produced
by Academy Award-winner Irwin Winkler. Bakula is best known for his
five-year stint on the innovative drama series Quantum Leap for which he earned
a Golden Globe Award in addition to four consecutive Emmy nominations and three
more Golden Globe Award nominations.
