George’s star heritage was almost spoiled by John Wayne’s movie

To the landing of the concert playing in Helmsman Hikaru Sulu on the Star Way, actor George Takay landed a few dubs, which led to the point that he provided the votes for Japanese films such as Radon and Godzila again. His first role in accreditation was for the adventure “Ice Palace” in 1958 with Richard Burton. During the early 1960s, he continued to play small roles in big Hollywood movie products, although his career began to bloom on television, and both the guest stains on some of the hottest shows of the day. Indeed, it ended in the episodes of “Perry Mason”, “Twilight zone”, “” “My Three Sons”, “Death Days” and “I Spy”.

“Star Trek” was a three -year concert for Takei, and initially it was not an extremely successful show ending in 1969. After that, he just addressed other performances at the exhibition, such as “Eddie’s” and “Ironside”. Thanks to repetitions, however, the “Star Way” was detained in the pop-consciousness in the 1970s, and Sul soon emerged as the most famous role. By the middle of the decade, the Star Way Convention began to become a pop phenomenon, and Takaeus appeared in live performances to talk about Sulu. He continued to participate in the Franchise for decades, even playing the Soul in the Episode “Star: Lower Deck”.

But in front of this, this was also closely linked to the poorly perceived military thriller John Wayne, who was in the theater in the middle of his stars. Military picture of 1968 “Green Berets” put by John Wayne and Roy Kealog and backed by the US governmentTakaei showed as a Vietnamese interrogation named Captain Nigium. “Green Berets” is a high-profile production that cost then $ 7 million to earn and boast the “old guys who still received” from Wayne. It was also quite famous for trying to apply the patriotism of the 1940s, which fled to the gloom of the Vietnam War. This, in turn, almost caused a serious problem for Taka and his heritage.

It should be reminded that Star Trek demanded writing companies to be aired for the third season. From the very beginning, he was a passionate subsequent enthusiast of science and utopia, but the ratings remained average to low. As a result, much more people saw “Green Berets” when he first came out than “Star Trek”, making it the most notable Takei concert. Indeed, Takei had to move away from several episodes of the “star hike” so he could shoot “green berets”.

However, it should also be reminded that “green berets” have received terrible reviews and are still considered one of Wayne’s worst films (at least According to users on Letterboxd). Roger Ebert even went so far to give the movie zero stars.

One day talked with The Valley Tribune (As a rewritten Metv), and he expressed a touch of ambivalence to his participation in John Wayne’s film, mainly because he kept him from the usual stars. As he said:

“I have ambiguous feelings about” green berets “. We had a break during the” star hike “and this proposal came, so I thought” great! The Star Way. But because of the delay I missed the whole second season “Star Trek”. So I’m sorry about it. “

Takei mentioned elsewhere that a lot of “green berets” was improvised Due to the delay of shooting, but this Wayne was friendly enough for him. All the same, it is good “green berets”, quickly faded from the public consciousness, providing a place to grow the “star campaign” of Taka. It was definitely the best scenario for the actor.
