TRIP TEASE

Connor Trinneer has certainly gone where no Star Trek actor has gone before since the launch of Star Trek:Enterprise. During the opening two seasons of the fifth Star Trek show, Trinneer's Starfleet alter-ego, Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III, demonstrated a gift for getting into weird situations - he remains the only male Star Trek character to wind up pregnant! - and developed an intriguing bond with the Starship Enterprise's resident Vulcan, T'Pol (Jolene Blalock). And as the Enterprise's exploration of the Delphic Expanse continues in the show's third season, Trip is poised to play a key role in the struggle against the Xindi, the mysterious alien race who were responsible for the death of his sister and now threaten to annihilate humanity.

TUCKER'S LUCK

Enterprise's  Trip Tucker tells why he likes it when Scott Bakula makes fun of him...and how he's built his own bungalow. These are bad times for the  Star Trek franchise. The ratings for  Enterprise have slipped significantly from last year, and the series is under fire from critics for being too safe and predictable. But Connor Trinneer ain't fretting. Ask him if he's concerned about the speculation that the show may be about to boldly go down the pan, and he answers with all the no-nonsense assurance you'd expect from his alter-ego, Enterprise engineer Trip Tucker. Life's too short to worry, right?

TRIP AROUND THE UNIVERSE

ENTERPRISE  star Connor Trinneer - who plays Engineer Charles 'Trip' Tucker talks about life and Outer Space. These are not the headiest days to be involved in the  Star Trek universe. The future of the latest serious to carry Gene Roddenberry's mantle, Enterprise, is less than steady due to both lagging ratings and the uncertainty that its parent network, UPN will even be around in the next few years. And the disappointing box office results of the most recent Trek film, Nemesis, have cast a shadow over the whole franchise.

Connor Trinneer as Charles 'Trip' Tucker III

Connor Trinneer plays Chief Engineer Charles 'Trip' Tucker III aboard the Enterprise, an American Southerner from the Florida Keys with an offbeat sense of humour, who enjoys using his country persona to disarm people. A brilliant engineer and an outstanding officer, Trip is also a confidante that Captain Archer knows he can rely on - echoing Doctor McCoy's relationship with Captain Kirk. Trip has very little first-hand experience with alien cultures, and is often a fish out of water when dealing with new civilizations.

Trinneer Taking A Nice 'Trip'

Connor Trinneer, who plays Cmdr. Charles "Trip" Tucker on UPN's Enterprise, told SCI FI Wire that he's pleased his character seems to have caught the imagination of Star Trek fans. "I think the character's probably pretty easy to write for," Trinneer said in an interview. "He's sort of ... the sarcastic, foot-in-mouth guy. And I think that, out of the gate, there were a couple of episodes that were written directly with my character's having the main story around him. And they've gone over pretty well. Hopefully that will happen more often."

"He's a good ol' boy smart-ass," Trinneer said of his character, the chief engineer on the first ship to reach Warp 5. "He's the one who'll call a spade a spade."  Set in the 22nd century, "Enterprise" takes Tucker and his shipmates on humanity's first journey into deep space, a century before the timeline of the original "Star Trek" series.  "It's an awesome experience as an actor, to be able to learn and create at the same time," Trinneer said. "It's all new, we're a prequel, nothing to base it off of but our own human experience."
