Garak

Anyone who watched Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will be well aware of the somewhat ambiguous character Garak, the Cardassian tailor (and formerly so much more!) on the space station. Now, although the show's writers tended to overplay the Garak card on occasions, there is no doubt that, after Odo, he was the most interesting regular character (Quark was the third, I think).

This interview with Andrew Robinson who played him, here in two parts, is quite fascinating as an insight into the part itself, how it was developed and the actor's own input. It's one of those interviews you'll be pleased you did take the time (under a quarter of an hour) to watch.

Here is part one...


...and this is part two...
