10 Most Unusual Demands Made By Star Trek Guest Stars
4. Christian Slater Securing His Role In The Undiscovered Country
Renowned American actor Christian Slater grew up as a massive Star Trek fan, joking that he would sometimes even shave his eyebrows slightly to give them a "Vulcan" appearance.
He wanted to be on Star Trek and luckily for him, it just so happened that his mother, Mary Jo Slater was in charge of the casting for Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country. Technically the demand for Christian to appear in the film did not come from Christian himself, but from his mother, though it's fair to say that he probably suggested it.
No one is judging him for this, though. It's clear that the majority of Trekkies would sell their soul for a day on the bridge of a starship, though it must've been slightly annoying for all of these actors who worked their whole lives to get to this point only to have some young guy waltz onto the set just because his mother was in charge of casting.
