The First Names of "Enterprise" Quiz

Answer: Charles

Commander Charles Tucker III got the nickname "Trip" from the word "triple" (He is the third Charles Tucker). I wonder if this means that his father, Charles Tucker Jr., was nicknamed "Dupe." ;)
Washington State native Connor Trinneer was relatively new to television and film acting when he landed the role of "Trip" Tucker. He had previously been seen on the HBO movie "61*" and the soap opera "One Life to Live".

Answer: Hoshi

Communications officer Hoshi Sato evokes another legendary "Star Trek" character: Lt. Nyota Uhura. Both are communications specialists, and both of their first names translate to the word "star" (from Japanese and Swahili, respectively).
Korean native Linda Park's break occurred in "Jurassic Park III" (2001). Her first television appearance came in an episode of "Popular" the same year.

Answer: Maxwell

Admiral Maxwell Forrest faught long and hard against the Vulcan advisors to let Archer take the Enterprise into deep space. It took a stranded Klingon named Klaang to have the Vulcans reluctantly agree to let humans begin exploring the galaxy ("Broken Bow").
Veteran actor Vaughn Armstrong has made several appearances in "Star Trek" over the years. In all he appeared nine times in "Star Trek" between 1988 and May 2001. In the fall of 2001, he stepped into the role of Admiral Forrest for "Enterprise", and he has played at least two alien roles on the show.

Answer: Michael

The web-like creature that Crewman Michael Rostov (Joseph Will) spoke of was a creature that had found its way to Enterprise after the initial encounter with the Kreetassans. Before long, other members of the crew, including Captain Archer, were captured by this ever-expanding creature. Thanks to Ensign Sato's language skill, and some assistance from the Kreetassans, the crew managed to free Archer, Rostov, and the others, and then take the creature to its home ("Vox Sola"). Joseph Will cut his "Star Trek" teeth by appearing in two episodes of "Voyager" ("Muse" and "Workforce, Part 2").

He has also appeared in the movie "Dragonfly" (2002).

Answer: Travis

What is a "boomer," you ask? A boomer is someone who serves on a cargo ship or was born on a ship. Whenever he feels a little homesick, Travis Mayweather (Anthony Montgomery) would retreat to the "sweet spot" of Enterprise, where the gravity is lighter than normal.
Anthony Montgomery is multi-talented, appearing in movies and on TV, as well as on stage. He has also dabbled into the world of stand-up comedy, starting in his hometown of Indianapolis, and later performing for charity events in Los Angeles (from www.anthonymontgomery.com).

Answer: Elizabeth

Crewman Elizabeth Cutler (Kellie Waymire) specialized in entomology, which made her suitable to becoming Dr. Phlox's medic. She also initially wanted to pursue a relationship with Phlox, but later backed off once she realized he had three wives!
Kellie Waymire also had appeared in the "Voyager" episode "Muse", as well as episodes of "The X-Files", "Six Feet Under", and "NYPD Blue". Sadly, she died in November 2003, of a heart condition.

Answer: Jonathan

Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) has a personal tie to the ship he commands. His father, Henry, was one of the designers of the Warp-5 testing facility that allowed the eventual construction of Enterprise to take place.
"Star Trek: Enterprise" is not Scott Bakula's first foray into science fiction. In the early 1990s, he and Dean Stockwell starred in the hit NBC series "Quantum Leap".

Answer: Malcolm

Lt. Malcolm Reed (Dominic Keating) is somewhat enigmatic, as even members of his own family don't know much about him. What we do know is that he had an uncle with severe hydrophobia who was an engineer on a submarine, and that this particular uncle stayed at his post to keep the systems running while the rest of the crew evacuated to safety as the boat filled with water. Born in Leicester, England, Dominic Keating started his on-screen acting career doing guest roles on "Inspector Morse", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and "The Immortal"; he has also appered in the Tim Allen movie "Jungle2Jungle" (1997). And in 2002, he pulled double-duty on TV, as Owen in the Showtime series "ChromiumBlue.com".

Answer: Ethan

The planet that Crewman Ethan Novakovich (Henri Lubatti) spoke of was an idyllic world. Several members of the away team (including Novakovich) spent the night there, some for scientific study, others for the fun of camping out. Unfortunately, a windstorm hit the encampment, leaving everyone there in a hallucinogenic and paranoic frenzy ("Strange New World").
Henri Lubatti has made several guest-starring turns in various TV shows, including "24", "Felicity", and "The X-Files".

Answer: Amanda

Corporal Amanda Cole (Noa Tishby) is one of the star members of the MACO (Military Assault Command Operation) team on board Enterprise, holding the team record for most hits in the moving target exercise program designed by Major Hayes ("Harbinger").
It seems appropriate for Israel native Noa Tishby that her character is an excellent sharpshooter. Among Noa's many talents is weapons training. She is also an actress, singer, songwriter, athlete, and painter (from www.noatishby.com).
