Interview: Jeffrey Combs, the actor who has starred in such films as the classic horror film “The Re-animator,” was pivotal in several Star Trek shows playing characters like Commander Shran on “Enterprise,” Weyoun for “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” and Penk in “Star Trek: Voyager” is our very special guest this week. Jeffrey’s most prominent role for many fans of sci-fi was that of Professor Kevin Burkhoff on “The 4400.” The stage-trained actor shares his take on the whole fan popularity of the Re-animator film and its spin-offs and gives a brief inside look of how these kinds of movies, including the classic “Frankenstein,” have become such a visceral part of horror movie history. Jeffrey is in Phoenix this weekend to be inducted into the International Horror/Sci-fi Film Festival Hall of Fame.

Thanks for the little Jeff Combs interview! 🙂
Great to hear an interview with Jeffrey Combs.
For those of us under 30, how about some trivia from recent movies 🙂 ? Just kidding, but seriously.
Even though I’d seen Re-Animator years ago, I must say, seeing it on the big screen for the first time, after the humorous warm up given by Jeffrey Combs himself, was a real treat.
During the Q&A session afterwards, he spoke of his Trek days, and of working with Peter Jackson on The Frighteners, and more. His impressions of Shatner had everyone in stitches 🙂 He was very appreciative of the Hall of Fame induction, and the line of fans waiting for him to sign things filled the entire second lobby of the theaters… it was a sight to see.
And as a followup to a conversation we had after we finished recording this interview, I presented him with a copy of the B5 novel “Voices”, which featured his character, Harriman Gray. I’m just glad I could do something constructive with one of the extra copies we collected as part of the Babylon Podcast Book Rescue Drive!
