Star Trek remains an acclaimed IP and continues to collect accolades in 2024. Just recently, many franchise stars were on hand to celebrate the series being the recipient of the Institutional Peabody Award at the organization's 84th awards ceremony. There's one particular franchise alum that truly caught my attention, though.
Enterprise star Scott Bakula was on hand for the event and his appearance, in particular, has me psyched for a few reasons. Scott Bakula famously played Captain Jonathan Archer on Enterprise , which had a controversial ending that even its co-creator won't defend . With so many upcoming Star Trek shows on the way, I can't help but wonder if there are plans for the actor to make a return based on his appearance onstage at the event (which was posted on YouTube ) and a couple of other key reasons.
As mentioned, Scott Bakula was far from the only Star Trek actor in attendance at the 84th Annual Peabody Awards. Yet he was one of the only ones who hasn't worked in the franchise in recent memory. Here's a rundown of who all showed up to support the franchise on the acting side of things: Two interesting factoids stand out about this list.
One, Scott Bakula was the only actor featured who hasn't worked on a Star Trek project in recent memory. Two, Sam Richardson was invited but hasn't officially debuted yet as part of the Section 31 cast . If one actor was invited to appear despite their latest project not having aired yet, would it also be possible for Scott B.
