  20. Don't Smudge the Muppets - Rachael Harris and Joe Lo Truglio Talk the Puppet Episode

    Season 4, Episode 15

    Show notes

    Send us Fan Mail

    Joe Lo Truglio and Rachael Harris join Open Pike Night to talk about joining Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as Orion pirates on "Level-Five Transporter Accident" — and the absolute joy and chaos of doing it with Muppets.

    Joe and Rachael reveal who on set they got star struck by, fanboying out on the Enterprise bridge, the incredible costumes and makeup, and getting to play characters very different from the ones they're usually known for. Joe reveals the inspiration behind his douchey LA-rocker Orion (and what aspect of him he tried to emulate in real life), while Rachael talks about her previous Star Trek: Voyager appearance—and the embarrassing photo involving her and a Pike puppet that probably shouldn't see the light of day.
