Star Trek legend Robert Picardo who from 1995 to 2001 played the role of ‘Emergency Medical Hologram'(EMH) in the television series “Star Trek: Voyager,” and has released a song and music video called “Spent My Life as an Actor” that spoofs Picardo as the second favorite A.I. character in the Star Trek franchise (after “Star Trek: The Next Generation’s” ‘Data,’ a role that was played by Brent Spiner). The Director’s Cut version is below:
Robert Picardo is known as The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager; the Cowboy in Innerspace, Coach Cutlip on The Wonder Years (where he received an Emmy nomination); Ben Wheeler in Wagons East; and as Richard Woolsey in the Stargate television franchise. He also portrays the voice and face of the robotic Johnny Cab in Total Recall and is a member of the Board of Directors of The Planetary Society.
According to Picardo, “A few weeks ago, my friend and colleague Brent Spiner tweeted a hilarious musical spoof of himself that inspired me to do something in my characteristically more sophisticated manner, as an homage. My good friend James Marlowe (The Marlowe-Pugnetti Company) directed a crack mini-crew. Legendary event planner and TV personality Edward Perotti does a great cameo.”
