Raoul Bhaneja

The SyFy Sistas sit down with Raoul Bhaneja, who plays Chancellor Kelric on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
We first met Raoul on the Starfleet Academy red carpet, and this conversation gave us the chance to talk about his journey into the Star Trek universe.
A Shakespearean actor with a 20-year relationship with Hamlet, Raoul joins the long tradition of stage actors who have brought classical theater roots into Star Trek. We also explore another side of his career — leading his Maple Blues Award-winning blues band.
From Shakespeare to Starfleet, it's a conversation about storytelling, music, performance, and the many paths that lead artists into the Star Trek universe.

The Sheperd of Trek

We kick off Season 6 with Rod Roddenberry, the humble steward of Star Trek. Tamia called him the "Shepherd of Trek," and by the end of our chat, he proved her point without even realizing it.
We didn't agree on everything — and that's okay. Every conversation came back to IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations), the principle that makes Star Trek meaningful 60 years later.
