The Doctor is one of my favorite Star Trek characters. Picardo is one of the best actors in the franchise... His acting is in the same caliber as Patrick Stewart.
lol, that is such horseshit. The doctor was a cartoon character. Terrifically fun and engaging, but in no way comparable to Stewart's acting even on a bad day. Pre _Picard_ that is. He's too old to act now.
It's funny, Ethan wore such an extensive degree of make-up/prosthetics on Voyager, yet somehow he still looks like Neelix without any of it. I hadn't noticed before how much of his real nose, cheeks, and forehead were worked into the Neelix face.
YES! Have it set slightly further down in the Star Trek universe timeline. Call it, Star Trek - Doctors And Ambassadors, Chronicles of the Delta Quadrant
If that's a nicotine gum, its chewed well past is usefulness. Nicotine being the poison it is, would give you extremely nauseous in your stomach chewed like that. Rule of thumb is 2 chews then wait for the chemical to be absorbed. If you chewed a nic gum like he's chewing, your mouth would be on fire as well. I'd guess it's just regular old chewing gum. Enjoyed the interview with these 2 great actors though. I liked the captain best of all the characters through this series though. Strong powerful woman, and she's not hard on the eyes either.
Treetop64 I loved that episode on decisions where he had to choose who to save out of two crewmen with equal chances of survival. Loved his acting and the portrayal of the Doctor's turmoil.
That's because he is an actual hologram. He was the prototype quantum hologram complete with Strong AI, envisioned by the RAND and DARPA, made a reality through the combined efforts of primarily IBM, Intel and Raytheon. The DoD decided to test the EMH's ability to mimic human behavior by sending a copy to Hollywood to learn to act like a human and finally to actually act like a human. The program turned out to be such a success that a POTUS version was created, which ran for president and managed to charm the nation into electing him. Hence, all those questions about Obama's birth certificate and social security number. He was never "born" so of course he didn't have a birth certificate or SS number. Or I just completely made that up. Who knows.
I saw Jeri Ryan talking about how hard it was to work with Ethan Phillips because he was so funny on set and nobody could keep a straight face. Watching this interview I can totally see that.
Nelix and the Doctor honestly two of my most memorable characters for me. Ethan brought Jubalance to the show and some goofy fun and Robert had that I am very serious I am the doctor tone then evolved into more of a living entity over hte seasons . Roberts opera he sung on the show was a high point for me. Season 6 episode 13 virtuoso where the doctor sang for "Superior" being which had no idea what music was. Two of the greats.
Love these two! Met Ethan and Robert at a convention in Las Vegas and they were both very kind and funny! Also, took a picture with the entire Voyager crew. It was an incredible and unforgettable moment. Also, must know more about this play! When/Where can I see this? I'll buy tickets for myself, my sister and my mom. We are all fans! :)
Unlike some people, I always liked Neelix's character on Voyager. Although his jealous tendencies in the early seasons were a bit of an issue for me, I really loved his character because he was such a great person who always wanted to do the right thing and help people and he was always so accommodating. The Doctor was another favorite but I've always loved Robert Picardo ever since his part as the brother alien in *The Explorers* back in 1985. Great interview :)
We need a new ODE to VOYAGER MOVIE! I have an awesome script idea to bring back the entire crew, with a great mission! Huge built in fan base! I will go watch it!
I liked Neelix and the Talaxians. -- I once saw a teen in a pet store who had what I would swear was a Neelix hairstyle, but it wasn't science-fiction convention season. I didn't get to talk to him because he was busy with a bad customer and the boss, but I was so impressed! I enjoyed seeing both actors in other roles. It'd be fun seeing Ethan Phillips in a role on the Orville.
Can somebody help me understand I was very interested in the part where they talked about a new episode where the doctor went to help neelix was this supposed to be play I didn't understand it.
He says he remembers days of no internet. I was in Unniversity of Toronto in 1972 and we had internet, however it was called USENet back then. United States Educational Network. I connected all the universsities and major colleges.
they are all waiting for the heart, brain, kidney.. liver stimulating soup.. made from pure fresh honest greens, not even traded for.. anything never missed..
Ethan Phillips as 'Dave' in the film "Jeffrey" is one of the funniest moment in that film. Yes, you should search it out! He plays a sex addict for one of those AA-inspired scenes where you say "Hi, my name is..."
Funny guys, but the audio was so poor, and almost impossible to hear what they're saying, so I couldn't get through the video unfortunately. Also, I know it was medicinal, but the chewing was annoying, not helped by the camera being so close. Nevertheless, thanks for uploading.
+Thingsandstuff That was an alternate reality, so he never actually had a name at the end of the series except for "Doc". The Doctor has had at least 5 suggested names: Schweitzer (given by holocharacter Freya in Harry Kim's Bewoulf program), Schmullus (given by Denara Pel's holo-counterpart), Van Gogh (alternate reality), Kenneth (holo-family name), and Joe (alternate reality). The first two names were given by women he was romantically involved with, but he never kept the names because it was too painful for him, I guess.
Thingsandstuff True. It can be argued. The timeline was changed as soon as future Janeway went back in time. Her timeline no longer exists and therefor the new timeline is canon, and in that timeline his name isn't Joe yet. However, the other side of that argument is that the doctor is a hologram and therefor a computer and would likely choose that name again in the new timeline.
I completely agree with the comment that these two should form a comedy duo. Picardo and Phillips. That's right up there with (Steve) Martin and (Martin) Short, or even Cheech and Chong. Very funny guys, Bob and Ethan. Love it!
I'm starting to dig this show on Netflix. Blown away by the talent of Picardo. To me, he is up there with the great actors like Tracy with a little Keaton. Hard for me to appreciate Ethan because I don't like his character. I can't stand people who talk about food all of the time.
they even ham it up for this . ... god love this great post .ethan got a touch of ozzy look on him .roman hell is called vulcan .its a island .the roman gate to hell . a very warm place spock looked like the devil . just a guess that was the link in the story
The Dr. was the most honest cast member The more Goofier/comedic they R ~ the ~ more honest they become Neelix ~ I hope isn't another jacka22 actor ~ Rick Berman had 2 hire

The Doctor is one of my favorite Star Trek characters. Picardo is one of the best actors in the franchise... His acting is in the same caliber as Patrick Stewart.
!? Really now!?
ε ναι!
I started to really appreciate his talent when I saw him play an evil character.I was truly amazed at the transformation!
Have you ever seen him in Matinee? Wonderful
lol, that is such horseshit. The doctor was a cartoon character. Terrifically fun and engaging, but in no way comparable to Stewart's acting even on a bad day. Pre _Picard_ that is. He's too old to act now.

Give The Doctor and Neelix a spin off show
YES!
Have it set slightly further down in the Star Trek universe timeline.
Call it, Star Trek - Doctors And Ambassadors, Chronicles of the Delta Quadrant
I would watch that. It would be better than MORE LENS FLARES ala Jar Jar Abrams.
the new series looks awful!
Klingons looks like bad ideas and not intimidating at all like in the most ST movies!except Into Darkness!
bernhardtsen74 I think the new series looks awesome!
You need to get with the times my friend.
Lies!go watch some supernatural to get whats awful goes by as cool these days!
for those that are complaining about the gum, it is nicorette gum. Mr. Ethan quit smoking and the gum helps him continue to stay smoke-free
Richard Addison SAY WHO!?
+ANNA OBREGON Phillips mentions it in another interview on YT.
Hell, he can eat a Subway sandwich, and talk with his mouth open for all I care. Love these guys. 😀
He could at least chew with his mouth closed and show some civilization.
If that's a nicotine gum, its chewed well past is usefulness. Nicotine being the poison it is, would give you extremely nauseous in your stomach chewed like that. Rule of thumb is 2 chews then wait for the chemical to be absorbed. If you chewed a nic gum like he's chewing, your mouth would be on fire as well.

Enjoyed the interview with these 2 great actors though. I liked the captain best of all the characters through this series though. Strong powerful woman, and she's not hard on the eyes either.
The Doctor was my favorite character in the series. Especially loved the episode where he had grandiose daydreams of himself. Hilarious!
The first daydream with Tuvok. Too funny!
Treetop64 I loved that episode on decisions where he had to choose who to save out of two crewmen with equal chances of survival. Loved his acting and the portrayal of the Doctor's turmoil.
Treetop64 I have to finished watching that episode (again) about five minutes ago. He is my favourite character too.
Another good one is the one about the warhead. He was great as the maligned bomb program.
50cc of nitric acid, a little proverbial salt in the wound.
Picardo doesnt age AT ALL. Someone might think hes an actual hologram LOL
That's because he is an actual hologram. He was the prototype quantum hologram complete with Strong AI, envisioned by the RAND and DARPA, made a reality through the combined efforts of primarily IBM, Intel and Raytheon. The DoD decided to test the EMH's ability to mimic human behavior by sending a copy to Hollywood to learn to act like a human and finally to actually act like a human.

Or I just completely made that up. Who knows.
So what ur saying, Trump is the last example of human presidential candidate we shall ever see? XD
you know his name like Patrick Stewart both look the same after 20 years or so
Craig Reese. The Dr does look like he didint age ,Stewart did age.
The Doctor looks very healthy older. He is glowing. ❤☉🌟🌡
These two guys are hilarious. They could do a stand up comedy routine. They'd be a great act.
I saw Jeri Ryan talking about how hard it was to work with Ethan Phillips because he was so funny on set and nobody could keep a straight face. Watching this interview I can totally see that.

Please state the nature of the medical emergency
So awesome, a couple of the best characters from Voyager.
Unlike some people, I always liked Neelix's character on Voyager. Although his jealous tendencies in the early seasons were a bit of an issue for me, I really loved his character because he was such a great person who always wanted to do the right thing and help people and he was always so accommodating.

Great interview :)
Excellent! The second last & last episode of series seven is screening on Australian TV today & tomorrow.
I like that this wasn't edited.
I love this interview. They are so funny.
Can anyone tell me what the Tim Russ dig at 7:16 was about? Couldn’t tell if it was sarcasm or not.
As a winnipeger I approve of Ethan and his comments about Saskatchewan and Manitoba !! 7 years later.. still love you guys
Thanks much for posting this in its long form. What charismatic and tactful interviewees.
It's a joy to watch these two together.
Why would they cut any of this glorious interview? Ethan and Bob are just so hilarious.
2 of my favorite characters in Voyager. I named my cat Neelix. He had the same coloring. So good to see you both.
These two seem like fun guys.
Did anybody hear what happened to Kes (Jennifer Lien) recently? So tragic the way her life has gone since she left Voyager...
Yes, it's very tragic. :-( I hope she will feel better soon!
What happened to her?
It upsets me that ST left her behind. Makes me think that had allot to do with her condition, IDK I could be wrong.
Nona Boccalupo i’ve read they had to fire someone to introduce 7 of 9 and it just came down to her.
Funny! These guys don't even need an interviewer, you can just leave the camera rolling!
I had a crush on the doctor when I was 14
I've got a crush on you right now...(wink wink)
No Imagination
ikr?
No Imagination
We are betrothed. Your screen name is wrong. You must have some imagination if you think shes yours...
Let me guess, you have a preference for difficult excentric guys, right? ^^
Nah, not necessarily
We need a voyager movie
We need a new ODE to VOYAGER MOVIE! I have an awesome script idea to bring back the entire crew, with a great mission! Huge built in fan base! I will go watch it!
They made for the perfect comedy double act in Voyager.
Just blown away. Wonderful people
They've both worked in audio books and I've enjoyed their work there.
I liked Neelix and the Talaxians. -- I once saw a teen in a pet store who had what I would swear was a Neelix hairstyle, but it wasn't science-fiction convention season. I didn't get to talk to him because he was busy with a bad customer and the boss, but I was so impressed! I enjoyed seeing both actors in other roles. It'd be fun seeing Ethan Phillips in a role on the Orville.
i wish i could see the play they are talking about.
Where's Danny DeVito?
I want Picardo in Picard. Do it CBS!
Can somebody help me understand I was very interested in the part where they talked about a new episode where the doctor went to help neelix was this supposed to be play I didn't understand it.
He says he remembers days of no internet. I was in Unniversity of Toronto in 1972 and we had internet, however it was called USENet back then. United States Educational Network. I connected all the universsities and major colleges.
I would die if I would meet them seriously.
they change the lighting in such a way... instantly.. Ethan Philips.. is an alien.. the skill. just pure awe
they are all waiting for the heart, brain, kidney.. liver stimulating soup.. made from pure fresh honest greens, not even traded for.. anything never missed..
are they brothers? They look like twins
Only twins in acting ability. They are both top notch.
The all around coolest of Star Trek characters!
I would like to present our project SPACE HEROES with Robert Picardo: www.indiegogo.com/projects/space-heroes#/
They are so funny and so good here, both are
very good actors,
this was a good video.🎉🎉
When he said 17 million i figured he was talking about the star trek vulcan ha ha
Lovely seeing them just hanging out together.
LOLOL loved this interview, they're funny!!
omg they sound just like they did in voyager NEELIX DOC FTW
man this was added to YT 10 years ago...
Ethan Phillips as 'Dave' in the film "Jeffrey" is one of the funniest moment in that film. Yes, you should search it out! He plays a sex addict for one of those AA-inspired scenes where you say "Hi, my name is..."
I have a sarcastic personality so the Doctor was always one of my favorite characters on ST Voyager.
Love these two crazy guys!!!😂😂
Friendship goals! Lol!
Are there any recordings of the play they did?
Funny guys, but the audio was so poor, and almost impossible to hear what they're saying, so I couldn't get through the video unfortunately. Also, I know it was medicinal, but the chewing was annoying, not helped by the camera being so close. Nevertheless, thanks for uploading.
Great cast. These two made the show so much more. It brought a lighter side to Voyager!
Those are two great actors no doubt about it.
I always feel a tiny bit annoyed that they never write "The Doctor"/"Joe".
Doctor who?
It's not set in stone that he named himself Joe. That was in the timeline that took them decades to get to Earth.
+Thingsandstuff That was an alternate reality, so he never actually had a name at the end of the series except for "Doc". The Doctor has had at least 5 suggested names: Schweitzer (given by holocharacter Freya in Harry Kim's Bewoulf program), Schmullus (given by Denara Pel's holo-counterpart), Van Gogh (alternate reality), Kenneth (holo-family name), and Joe (alternate reality). The first two names were given by women he was romantically involved with, but he never kept the names because it was too painful for him, I guess.
starrbeatlesqueen My point was that he might've just happened to pick that name in the 'actual' reality anyway.
Thingsandstuff True. It can be argued. The timeline was changed as soon as future Janeway went back in time. Her timeline no longer exists and therefor the new timeline is canon, and in that timeline his name isn't Joe yet.
However, the other side of that argument is that the doctor is a hologram and therefor a computer and would likely choose that name again in the new timeline.
Bob Picardo is cool af. I love him as a person. Great guy.
I love that Robert Picardo always wears the Doctor Who you never forget your first Doctor to Star Trek conventions.
I would like to present our project SPACE HEROES with Robert Picardo: www.indiegogo.com/projects/space-heroes#/
When I first saw the picture that was on the thumbnail to this video, I just thought it was a picture of 2 old people talking. Hahaha
There's a part of me that wishes the new Picard series was actually Picardo...
I would like to present our project SPACE HEROES with Robert Picardo: www.indiegogo.com/projects/space-heroes#/
This is awesome!
Now where is Google's AI to clear up the noise? :-)
Id HAVE to ask..."Who was born 1 min before the other one?" :) I love these guys and I miss Voyager and the 90s.
What's the play they mention? The name is never made clear in the interview.
Where is Kez & 7?
Hephaestus is the Greek version of Vulcan (Roman God)
Phillips really needs to go on the patch...
Love the interview though
These two, together, crack me up
I completely agree with the comment that these two should form a comedy duo. Picardo and Phillips. That's right up there with (Steve) Martin and (Martin) Short, or even Cheech and Chong. Very funny guys, Bob and Ethan. Love it!
I would like to present our project SPACE HEROES with Robert Picardo: www.indiegogo.com/projects/space-heroes#/
I love these guys
They both have the same pug nose cute
Awww that's adorable! Especially when they both raise their eyebrows at the same time.
love these guys lol
The Neelix guy NEVER stops chewing!
Neelix's name is actually Ethan Phillips
It’s leolaroot.
'He was quite handsome. I know this cus he told me.'
They need to do a stand up show together haha so funny
oh ya oH FUCK YA OH YA BABY YA FUCK YES!
Seems like you require a bit of privacy. We'll wait outside, so you can finish, err what ever it is yours actually doing.
Lol
My favorite Doctor of all Star Trek shows." Neelix" probably best consoler who wasn't called a consoler.
Their continuing mission (and career) to baldly go....
my two favorite characters from Voyager!!
love these guys
Bob Picardo can roast me any time. So hilarious.
They are just so awesome :D
1:30 I played it a few times and I definitely hear "Regina" pronounced with a "V"
🦻
They look like brothers.
These guys are just as funny off camera than they are on camera.
As a Saskatonian, I'm crushed.
The Doctor and Data are two of my favorite characters
I would like to present our project SPACE HEROES with Robert Picardo: www.indiegogo.com/projects/space-heroes#/
I have a feeling Picardo was channeling the Smothers Brothers in the beginning.
I'm starting to dig this show on Netflix. Blown away by the talent of Picardo. To me, he is up there with the great actors like Tracy with a little Keaton. Hard for me to appreciate Ethan because I don't like his character. I can't stand people who talk about food all of the time.
Cant blame him Nellix is a cook
Robert Picardo i'm laughing so hard
Is Neelix chewing on nothing the whole time?
nighthawk0077 It's either gum, or, people without teeth usually do that lol
+Prfctdrk Nicotine gum, he is substituting cigarettes.
0:27
they even ham it up for this . ... god love this great post .ethan got a touch of ozzy look on him .roman hell is called vulcan .its a island .the roman gate to hell . a very warm place spock looked like the devil . just a guess that was the link in the story
Isn't that the same guy?
😂
voyager was my favorite startrek series after that; tng, enterprise, tos, and finally ds9.
SO MUCH BACKGROUND NOISE
Well, it was a packed room....
Neelix and The Doc!!
they look related.
Is Rob Picardo a New Yorker? He's got the same humour and mannerisms as a new yorker I know?
L33tImagination he's actually from Philadelphia
The Dr. was the most honest cast member
The more Goofier/comedic they R ~ the ~ more honest they become
Neelix ~ I hope isn't another jacka22 actor ~ Rick Berman had 2 hire
