Bonus clip - Andy’s thoughts on Garak with a tail:
Here’s a little preview of another convention video from 1996, in which Andy addresses that issue. I’ve got to be honest - my personal preference is for Garak to be predominantly humanoid - that’s how I like him. Scales and ridges, yes; tails and claws - maybe not… But I know others have enjoyed imagining him differently. So what did Andy himself think? I’m sure this very short clip will entertain some of you.
I personally love it when actors are not normal about the characters they play. I love it when they get attached and start saying weird shit cause they have clearly been thinking about it. Yes court jester, tell me more of your special little headcanons.
andrew robinson @ all other actors: you are like a little baby
I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE EXPERIENCING BABY BABY ANDY DO U EVER THINK ABOUT HOW HE HADN'T EVEN MET IRENE YET? Also do you know the story about how he accidentally just literally punched Robert Hooks in the face during the first take because that's one of my favorite Andy stories ever
After consulting the sacred texts (stepping into the light) and then getting distracted and losing myself in that dang book for like 20 minutes I found the Robert Hooks incident!!!!! one of the Andy moments of all time
I’m posting this little clip (from a fan club meeting in Raleigh in 2000) for two reasons. One is, I find Andy absolutely adorable here - he’s so CUTE, and I’m eternally grateful to whoever filmed this! (I wasn’t there - I saw him in WV later that fall.) I’ll try to share more, although I’m not sure of the propriety of putting it all on Youtube - Andy and Sid talked a lot about their play, though, which was never filmed, and they really get into it.
The second reason I’m posting it is because it shows I’m not immune to “oops” moments. I told Andy much later that I read (actually, re-read) his book in one night - it was true and I thought that would really please him. Well, he said it did, but then I later recalled his words at this meeting. Oops. You’ll see what I mean.
all he did in this episode was stare at things intensely until he got shot by the good guys. a very common 70s andy experience. also did u know he’s very hot
