2. Tuvok In Other Media

Tim Russ directed the fan-made film Star Trek: Of Gods And Men in 2007. This non-profit story was a celebration of 40 years of Star Trek, while also bringing back many actors and characters from all then-existing iterations of the franchise.

Russ pulled double duty, switching from the director's chair to appearing on-screen as Tuvok again after a gap of six years. He brought with him not just his deep knowledge of Trek lore, and Vulcan lore, but also years of experience behind the camera.

The film was captured on digital cameras, with Russ employing hand-held techniques that were quite different from the standard three-cam set-up of The Original Series. This, according to producer Sky Conway, helped Russ 'break the mould' of standard television shooting.

The film proved to be a success, is currently available for free on YouTube, and did a lot of heavy lifting when it came to rehabilitating Alan Ruck's Captain John Harriman. It is, however, not the most recent appearance of Tuvok on-screen.
