What they're up to: Scott Bakula

As a follow-up on what the Star Trek Enterprise stars are doing these days, today we will start with Scott Bakula.

After TNT cancelled his show Men Of A Certain Age, he pretty much decided to stay away from the cameras for some time, so to speak.

Last fall, he traveled to Europe and made his United Kingdom stage debut in the world premiere of "Terrible Advice", a new play from Saul Rubinek ("Warehouse 13"), at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London.

Lately, he's been involved in off-stage activity against the merger of the two major actor's syndicates in the U.S., SAG and AFTRA.

Those who are willing to see him again on screen, will have to watch Desperate Housewives: he signed up for a role on the show, and he will guest-star on several episodes as  an attorney working for Bree (Marcia Cross). No news on when these epìsodes will be aired, but it won't be too long, since the show is on its last season.

And those who would like to meet Scott Bakula in person, rejoice: he will attend the 2012 Wizard World Toronto Comic Con on April 14-15 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in downtown Toronto, Canada, alongside other sci-fi/fantasy celebrities like Jeri Ryan, Amy Acker, Dean Stockwell, Paul Wesley, and others.

Scott Bakula on Men of a Certain Age

"Men of a certain age" is a new series, premiered on December 7, 2009, starring Scott Bakula, Ray Romano and Andre Braugher. It's a half drama, half comedy, about what is like to be a middle-aged man in this modern era.

Sci Fi Wire interviews Scott Bakula

His words were, regarding the show and Star Trek XI,

And, obviously, [director J.J.] Abrams knows how to make a movie. And, hopefully, he will have succeeded, and the studio will say, "We shouldn't have canceled Enterprise" [laughs].

Scott Bakula on Chuck

Scott Bakula recently guest-starred on NBC's Chuck, on three of the last four episodes of the show's 2nd season. He played Stephen J. Bartowski, father of main character, Chuck Bartowski.
