Episode description

"Star Trek” actor and activist George Takei joins the show. Over beautiful sashimi, George tells me what it was like to be forced to leave his LA home and live in Japanese American internment camps, only to return and become a successful actor. We also get into the meaningful “Star Trek” scene that never made it in and why he decided to come out at age 68. This episode was recorded at UKA in Japan House in Hollywood, CA.
