So the fact that, yeah, I'm playing a Vulcan, but it's a Vulcan who's obsessed with human culture.

His name's Doug.

His name is Doug.

He's a Vulcan named Doug.

Doug, which is my favorite thing, but his parents were obsessed.

So they gave him, it's the same way as like people like hippies giving their kids names, you know, like, like American, uh, Indian names or first name turned into like starshine.

Yeah, exactly.

So, um, why wouldn't that happen in another culture?

Why wouldn't they try to do that?

And he, unlike Spock, who has, has kind of struck this balance.

He's so clumsy with it.

Yeah.

but because he really loves it.

And that's a really real thing to play.

So a Vulcan with an artistic edge.
