Fans of the old Star Trek shows would know the name of George Takei. As a young actor in the 1960s, Takei was cast as one of the characters on the Star Ship U.S.S. Enterprise. The science fiction show had the crew on a mission to explore the galaxy and defend the United Federation of Planets. The television series ran from 1966 to 1969, and movies were made later.
Takei went on to have a successful career for many years. He is an actor, musician, and author who is still involved on many projects. He recently published a book about his own life and the incarceration experience of Japanese Americans during World War II. The book’s title is: They Called Us Enemy.
Takei came to Utah and was featured at the Moab Music Festival on September 4, 2021. The Festival holds concerts for almost three weeks during September to highlight music in the beautiful landscape of Moab. Takei narrated parts of his life for the concert of music composed by Kenji Bunch.
